I wonder if this contributed to his sudden water-phobia. Until yesterday, he has hated baths, kiddie pools, swimming pools, and bodies of water. Didn't matter if we were holding him, if he was in super shallow water (he wouldn't put his feet down), or if he was in a flotation device. He would just cry and keep signing "all done". But yesterday, at my in-laws' new house right on the Mohawk River, he had a blast swimming with all of us. He splashed and even put his face in the water multiple times! He stayed in for probably at least 45 minutes!
His vocabulary is growing all the time. He's getting pretty good at his first attempts of new words. He is eager to learn more as he points around the room saying "this?". He has been putting 2 words together more often. "Bye ____" (to whoever he's saying bye to), "more snack", and I'm embarrassed to admit this one, but "watch TV". We really don't watch that much! We play outside a lot!
He had a doctor appointment a few weeks ago... 3 months late for his 18 month visit. We were delayed with insurance changes. He was a complete wimp for everything. He cried through every measurement and examination. And of course cried even more for the shot. But he was fine when we left! He weighed in at 28 lbs 10oz, which puts him in the 55th or so percentile. He measured at 35.5 inches which puts him at the 95th percentile. Tall and lean! My young athlete.
He is feisty and energetic, but so lovable and snuggly and we always catch ourselves endearingly saying "that kid". We love him so much and are so lucky to have him.
