18 Months and Long and Lean!

Long time no chat!!! Sorry, we've been busy. Mama's been working a bunch on her dissertation and I've been wanting to be outside as much as possible. Anyway, there's lots to catch you up on. First I turned 18 months old almost two weeks ago already. But, I just had my doctor's visit last Thursday. Guess what? I am still tall - 34.25 inches which is in the 90th percentile. However, now I am a skinny dude - 25 pounds even which is in the 30th percentile. The doctor says I have the same build as Mommy. She called me "long and lean" and said I was doing great. Guess all that running around burned some of my baby chub off. Oh, and my head continues to be in the 25th percentile for circumference. Other than that, here's what's been going on this past month: Daddy turned 32 in April (and we had yummy chocolate cake), Mommy and I have been going to the park a lot (check out the pics), I have a new cousin, Abi, and another new 2nd cousin, Jada (my cousin's Holly's new daughter) who was born on my Mommy's birthday (May 14th), and my Mommy turned 31. We also spent Mother's day weekend in Minneapolis because my daddy had a job interview in Marshall, MN (nice town, but he didn't get the job). I got to play in the pool. Fun! Oh, I just got another tooth in with more on their way! The other bottom left tooth popped through last week and now the other right one is coming. So are a bunch of my molars. Ouch!!! Mom can feel the edge of one of them already popping through. Why do they have to all come at once?! And on top of that, I have the nastiest seasonal allergies this year! Yuck! I guess the pollen count in through the roof here in KC.

Tomorrow we are taking off for a week in North Dakota!! Mom's not sure how I'll do with all the driving. Hopefully I'll sleep just enough but not too much. We are going to visit both sets of grandparents plus my new cousin Abi. Can't wait. Better go prepare for our trip. Hope too see everyone in ND! For everyone else, have a great holiday weekend!!
