18 month stats

[fish8412]

Who wants to share? I feel like we used to do this every few months?

[fish8412]

29.75 inches
19 lbs 5 oz
Mostly 12 month clothes, starting to wear 18 month
Loves to play outside, torment/play with our dog, read
Doesn't like veggies, unless in pouch form
Cutest thing: says "mommy up" and reaches for me

[lakecountrygal]

32.5 inches tall
27.8 lbs
18.5 inch head circumference
Wearing 18month to 2T clothing the 2T is mainly tops and PJs.


He's a busy body active little boy so they actually couldn't get any accurate measurements at his appointment. I really hope he learns to hold still by the time he's 2 or at least cooperates. They tried telling me he's lost height and weight since his 15 month appointment but I know that isn't/can't be right because he's outgrowing his clothes like crazy.

[younglove316]

32 inches tall
25 pounds
I don't remember head size but she's 80th percentile

She lately has an obsession with shoes and knows the word. She will walk up to everyone and point at their shoe, say it, and then move on. She's just an overall happy (most of the time) full of energy little girl.

[babycaps]

30lbs 13oz
34.5in tall

He's simply the best!

And he's going to be a big brother!!!

babycaps I don't think I said an official congrats, so here it is!! I can't like this enough!!

[zandeela]

we have our official  check up this Wednesday, but at her ENT appointment last Thursday she was 35.5 inches and 28.3 pounds. She is going to be a big girl. I will post her exact stats after her check up.

5 hour car ride is nothing!! she just sat in her car seat and talked/played by herself. She would say Mama, I would turn around (FIL driving) then she would point her finger at me and say NO, NO, Go!. I would turn back around and she would just giggle. It was hysterical.

[ellabee]

Wow zandeela - so jealous that your LO is good in the car. E has gotten much better than she used to be, but we could NEVER take a 5 hr trip without lots of screaming and tears. If she's not napping, E maxes out at like 20-30 minutes.

Also, E is a caboose baby, so we don't have her appointment until the first full week in Oct. Will come back and give stats.

Yeah LO isn't a fan of car rides. If I need to go somewhere more than 30 minutes away, my husband or mom comes with.

Just had ours today.

Height: 34.75 inches (98%)
Weight: 30lbs 7.2oz (98%)
Head: 19.19 inches (85%)
Clothes: 24 month/2T tops & 18 month pants - size 6.5 shoe

Carter is super smart and vocal but is not where he should be on words spoken. He really only says 4 words-mama, dada, bye and ouch. He loves to run/gallop all over the place and is a climber. He also throws caution to the wind and is a daredevil. He LOVES to read and could do it all day! He loves other children but is more of an observer than an interacter.

[angelsnight]

E doesn't have her official appt until next week, but by my measurements she is 22 pounds and 32 inches tall. Her favorite words are no and stop it. She LOVES bananas, she goes crazy whenever she sees one (either real or on TV) and it was her first word.

She is STILL not walking independently, but she took like two or three steps away from the couch last week before she fell down. I am hoping she will start trying more soon. She is the funniest little girl. Every morning she stands up on her changing table, beats on the window and yells "puppy puppy puppy" at our dog.

DD is also vocal, understands commands in French and English, but doesn't have a big vocabulary. At her 18 m appointment the Dr was moreso looking to see if she made certain sounds - particularly p and b and one other I can't remember, and then 2 French sounds (again I can't remember). He said he'll expect more spoken words by her 24 month appointment.

Yay, my big boy went this morning, he is 35" tall and weighs 31.5.lbs, no wonder he is wearing 24 month with occasional 2T clothing and size 7 shoes!

He is pretty verbal for a boy although I'm sure people other than his dad, brothers, and myself wouldn't understand all his words. He says mama, dada, dog, baby, kitty, nanna (for banana) apple, ax (for his brother Max), ukkie (for Lucas another brother), see!, up!, no with definite perception and beginning to say a few others we are trying to recognize.
Love this age although it is also a bear at times with the fits of frustration and toddler independence beginning.

walkek85, Carter and Levi are almost the same size-wise! Do you constantly get comments about him being big? People are surprised when I say he is 18 months they just assume 2yr+!

I'm on the other side of the spectrum.  DD still wears 12 month clothes and everyone comments how tiny/petite she is.

[Deleted]

fish8412, all size comments can be unnerving! My neice (15months) is tiny/petite too, such a contrast to Levi. They look so cute next to each other! As long as they are all growing and learning it's all good!

[zandeela]

Yep, 35.5 inches, 28.2 pounds and 19 head circumference. Dr is thinking she could be 6 foot when she is done growing.

[northernlghts]

31.5" long, 19.5" head circumference and 24.8lbs. Shes's now in all 18 month clothes and I just bought size 5 shoes.I'm thankful she still likes car rides. I have a mirror back there and she talks and smiles to herself when she sees herself.

Story of my life. He only 18monand ppl expect him to be over two.

[zandeela]

babycaps, @kellbell, walkek85, at least you all have boys, try having a girl that big. She is wearing mostly 2T now (length is too short on 18m)

[Deleted]

zandeela, Maybe with cool weather coming you can put her in some cute boots to help with short pants. From your avatar pic she sure is a cute tall! She's not as chunky as Levi so I'm sure the pant size is an issue

[fishbulb]

Another caboose baby here. I'll be back to report after his checkup on the 6th.

[pearlvirus]

Wow my DD is small! She's not 18m until the 29th so that's part of it, but she had to see the dr about an infection last week and was only 21.5lbs... Don't think she is going to gain 10lbs in 2 weeks! Actually I'd be more worried if she did. She is just on the edge of wearing 18m size, most pants are too long, but the 12m ones are getting tight :/ And I get the same comments from strangers, really she's that old, she's tiny?!? The best is that she was an early walker too, so it was funny to see people's reactions to this 15lb shrimp walking beside me!

DH and I were actually just talking about how people are going to think there is something wrong with him because he is the size of a 2.5 year old but doesn't talk.

People are annoying.  It is like the comments when you are pregnant "you are so small" or "you are huge".  Just tell me I look great or tell me my kid is cute.  That's all.  Thanks.

You've got a big boy too! 

[angelsnight]

I didn't want to make a new thread, so I'll add it here. E is walking! She took her first steps on Sunday, and today she started walking all over the place and sometimes running.

I was so not looking forward to going to her 18 month appt on thursday with her not walking...nothing like waiting till the last minute. Anyway, just needed to brag. I'm so proud.

[lakecountrygal]

angelsnight you have every right to brag and be excited! So glad E decided to walk before the appointment.
