18 months

Our sweet Dean is a year and a half old!


Showing Dad the spoon:

we say "ah-oh" since he threw is on the floor.




He's usually running somewhere:

Dean's 18 month check up went better than I expected it too. He seemed to have thinned out a bit in the previous 3 months... but it turns out he just got a lot taller!
But he moved up the growth charts in every area!
Weight: 21 lbs 12 oz (6%) -- up from being <3% for the last 6 months
Height: 32.3 in (50%) -- that's 2 inches in 3 months!
Head Circumference: 47 cm (29%) -- up from 10% 3 months ago
Dean's weight to height ratio has always been really low (<3%), but this time he has a real percentage 4%.

I've always considered Dean "young" for his age, meaning that he's small and developmentally just a bit behind the average. He seems to have caught up. He's not crazy advanced (except that he can jump), but he's doing really well.

He is so adorable and sweet and fun and I just love, love, love him!
