18 Months Old!

Owen is officially a year and a half old! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by. We had his appointment today and he is doing so well.  Here is a little about our guy!

Height: 32 inches tall

Weight: 24.8 lbs

Diaper size: 5

Clothes size: 18 months

Favorite food: Cutie oranges, popsicles, salad, milk

Favorite show: Blues Clues

Favorite song: ABC’s 

Favorite book: 10 Little Lady Bugs

How many words: We lost count around 40 words. His pediatrician is amazed at how far along his language has come. Because of Owen's reflux and aspiration his speech was initially delayed. He really didn't babel much until he was 11 months old. He is now saying 2-3 word sentences and tons of words on their own. His pediatrician even called his language development advanced today! We couldn't be happier considering where he started out.

Newest trick: Owen knows all his body parts and their names. He can point them out and say them!

Sleep: Still sucks. We are hoping now with the surgery being over and done with we can start working on this more. His pediatrician told us today to give it two more weeks and if he is still not sleeping well that we can start being a little more strict with when and where he sleeps.

Favorite thing: Coloring, bubbles, and playing outside!

What we are learning right now: Colors, following directions, and learning to stay off the table. 

Least favorite part about being 18 months old: Time outs!

Most favorite part about being 18 months old: Getting to walk through the store holding mommy or daddy’s hand

What we are looking forward to: Once we are all cleared at Owen's post op appointment April 15th we will begin transitioning him from bottles to sippy cups. Because of Owen's aspiration a bottle has been the safest drinking method for him. We are excited for him to get to use sippy cups all the time! 

What else are we looking forward to: Baby brothers arrival in two months!
