18 months!

That's like, a year and a half. As in, today, my child is closer to 2 than 1! Wow!

And here are his stats from yesterday's appointment:

Weight: 23.5 lbs .................. 20%
Height: 31 3/4 inches .......... 50%
Head: 19 1/4 inches ............ 90%

He exceeded all his milestones, some of which including eating with a fork and spoon, running and of course talking. When adding up the words Jonah says, we stopped counting at 50. Doc says he talks well above the average 2 year old. He often strings 2 or 3 words together already - although these are usually commands:

"Bones inside"
"Daddy sit here"
"Mamma up please"

Bossy, bossy! I should mention he does have some good manners. He loves to say "tank too, Mama" (thank you) whenever I give him something.

Jonah sleeps great, usually from 8p - 7a and still naps for about 2 hours from 12 - 2. He loves, loves school and knows all his teachers' and friends' names. (I only believe this because I have witnessed it!)

He continues to be a really good eater, but his favorites include applesauce, chicken, cheese and goldfish - I think that's pretty well-rounded, huh? He doesn't have too many dislikes, but he won't eat mashed potatoes (WHAT!) and is picky about vegetables.

Always the boy, he loves cars, trucks, planes, pretty much anything that goes. His favorite toy is probably his bus from Grandma Ro Ro or his car from Grandma B. Grandma knows best, I guess! He loves being outside, but when inside, his favorite thing to do is sit in Mommy's or Daddy's lap and read a book. What he doesn't like is, getting dressed or having to come inside after playtime.

He seems like such a big boy all of a sudden. I no longer have to endure the sadness of leaving him at school. These days, he will wave goodbye to me and go join his friends.

We continue to get told, whether at school or in public, what a sweet and mild-mannered boy we have. We also continue to get told he "looks just like his daddy!" He still loves to snuggle and we are always happy to oblige. Ryan and I love watching him grow up and discover new things.

We love you Jones!
