I'll be back to update after our 18m appointment on Saturday

[ampaints]

M is 22lb 4 oz and 33.75 inches. (He gained less than a pound in three months, but grew 3.25 inches 😮)

He's in 18 month, but I've noticed some things are starting to get short on him, I had to retire a couple of pajamas this weekend. He's in size 5 diapers even though he's still under the weight. Dude kept peeing out of 4s.

Increased mobility is the most exciting skill for M. He's picking it up quickly I think. He's also doing a lot better at feeding himself with his spoon and spork.

What was the last question I put, lol! Eating? He eats really well. Very few things he won't eat. His iron was a little low, so we'll be adding more red meat and green beans to try and up that.

[runningmommy519]

Height: 31.75 (43 percentile)
Weight: 21 lbs 14 oz (25 percentile)

Clothing:18 months
Diapers:4

New skills: words, climbing, eating with spoon/fork, understand a lot of what I say and follows simple commands.

Eating: loves most things

[elvenqueen]

Eager beaver here, because they're 18 months as of Thursday, but I got kind of nice photos of them today so I can't resist.

Weight -- A: 29 lbs 7oz / E: 23 lbs 2 oz 
Height: -- A: 34.25 inches / E: 32.25 inches
Clothing -- A: 2T / E: 18-24mo
Diapers -- A: 5 / E: 4

Skills: Both are just starting to say a few words, can do most animal noises, and understand/follow commands. Both are climbing and A is beginning to get some air when he jumps (and I swear, the house shakes). They LOVE dancing.

Eating: Both fussy with vegetables, yay! Both drink from straws and can spoon/fork feed themselves most of their food. E loves meat so much, and anything bready. A is still a machine and will eat pretty much anything.

*poof!*


ETA: My girl's eyebrow game is strong. Papa Thranduil would be proud.

[mrspiatt]

My baby is 18 months old today!

Height and weight- I'll update this after her appointment on the 2nd

Clothing and diaper size- Mostly 12 months, still some 9 month stuff and starting on 18 month.
Size 3 diapers

New skills- she talks all the time and while she's not the easiest to understand- we can understand her. She's starting to phrases- "look at me" is very popular.

How are they eating- she finally eats! She had blueberries and bowl of cereal for breakfast and ate it all!

Picture if you want.

[mrspiatt]

Allison is 31.5" (30%) and 23lbs (54%). Her head is in the 19% which is up from the previous 13%

She's formed a heart murmur and the doc said while it's common for them to come and go in kids, he'd like me to pay close attention to her to be sure it's nothing to be concerned about. He mentioned how noticeable it was a couple times, I'm not sure if that a concern on its own or not.
I haven't noticed any of the symptoms he wants me to watch for, but I'll be extra watchful now.

[runningmommy519]

mrspiatt Ethan has a heart murmur. Hopefully that makes you feel better

[FieryMama]

mrspiatt & runningmommy519 - DS had a heart murmur. Followed up with the cardiologist for 3 years and then was discharged. They can come and go and be more apparent with fevers, etc. Hope that they both grow out of them soon and have no long lasting effects!

[FieryMama]

Height - 33 inches
Weight - 24lbs 7oz
Clothing - 18 months
Diapers - 5
New skills - growling, climbing, added "up" and "more" to her vocabulary this weekend.
Eating - Usually pretty good. Still not a big fan of most meats. Yay for yogurt.

She also loves to "tackle" the cat and use him like a pillow.

[runningmommy519]

You guys. I realized I am goi g to have a 19 month old this week. 😭😭😭😭

[carabassa]

Stopping by to say hi! Love seeing everyone's babies all grown up. Ida turned 18 months this past Sunday.

32 inches, 23.7 lbs

18-24mo or 2T clothes, size 6 diapers

New skills: Her language has really taken off, lots of little sentences like "I love pizza!" and "Mommy Daddy come back" and "Ida open bottle." Most-used phrase is "Up please, Mommy!", repeated ad nauseam while I make dinner. She loves to paint, swing, play with the balls at gym class and eat pizza. She's recognizing letters (particularly x, o, and c) and dances emphatically to Twinkle twinkle little star.

Eating: She's hit or miss. Some days she eats a ton, other days not so much. The past two days she has declined pancakes and requested chicken salad for breakfast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[th3stryck3r]

Poppy turned 18 months yesterday.

I've already forgotten her height! I think it was 31.75"

Weight is 23.2 lbs

Clothing size depends on brand and style. She has a few 12 month clothes she still fits in, but is mostly in 18 months and I'm only buying 24/2T now.

Skills— she's super physical. She loves climbing as high as she can and then jumping. In swim, we just started jumping into the pool while standing at the side, and it's her favorite thing. She's also recently mastered kicking in swim to propel her forward without my help when she's got a noodle tied around her. She doesn't have a lot of words yet, but she loves to do head, shoulders, knees and toes and point to her body parts with the song. Of the words she does have, "All done" is her favorite phrase.

Eating— Mexican food is her favorite— rice and beans, guacamole, cheese quesadilla, pick de gallo, and limes. She's recognized as a regular at our favorite local Mexican restaurant. She'll also eat just about anything if it has a dollop of yogurt on top.



Cooking at daycare!

So it has happened. M turned 18months yesterday! He is amazing and we absolutely love him to pieces!!! I still need to schedule his 18 month dr appointment, so will update stats with official ones when we do, but as far as I can tell he is:
Height and weight : 31 inches and 26.5 lbs (super hard to get with a busy toddler who just wants to figure out what the numbers are do!

Clothing and diaper size: size 18-2T, diaper size 4, but probably will move to 5 next shopping trip

New skills: he has recently had a great increase with his language. He was not really consistently saying many words, but over the past week seems to have a few more clear words. He said one, two, three when going down his little tykes slide! So cute! He says thank you when you hand him food 75% of the time! He is a rock star on the stairs, and is starting to point to some body parts. He loves putting together blocks and snap together ball toys. He also learned how to go up and down his slide by himself.

How are they eating: like a horse!! He seems to eat constantly! And often stands at the 'snack' corner in the kitchen asking for more! Lol! He definitely has daily preferences of what he wants to eat, but loves pretty much all fruits.

Picture if you want. Of course I want!!! AW

How did I not realize our sons were so close in age?! W turns 18 months tomorrow.

[aydee]

Abigail turned 18 months on 2/12. She had her 18 month checkup today.

Height: 34 inches (still 95th-98th percentile!)

Weight: 21 lbs 6 oz

Clothing size: mix of 18 month and 24 month

Diaper size: 3

New skills: What isn't this kid doing? She watches big brother and sister and attempts just about everything they do. She's also talking up a storm. Her language is way ahead of what's typical and she surprises us daily with new words she can say. She also sings songs and helps us "read" the books she knows.

Eating: She's a pretty good eater and loves just about any fruit or veggie. She'll eat chicken/turkey/fish if it's the first thing we put on her plate at mealtime and wait for her to eat that before serving other things. She loves yogurt and cheese, which is good because it's still a challenge to get her to drink her milk. She's too busy.

[ars093s]

Arya turned 18 months this past Wednesday!

25lbs, 1.4oz
30.9 inches

18 month pants, 12 month shirts
Size 4 diapers
4.5 shoes

New skills: Talking, talking, talking! "Hold you, mama" is my favorite thing to hear. Although she's also getting more demanding - I tried to lay on the floor while she was playing the other day and she insisted "all done sleeping" so I would play with her. She has learned my name and calls me that sometimes instead of mama. I'm trying to discourage that one. Oh, and she can spell her name, and has memorized 1 to 10, although aside from 1, I don't think she knows what the numbers actually mean, it's just a memory game to her.

How are they eating - all the food. She still hasn't met a meal she dislikes. Per the pedi at her last visit, we stopped the whole milk in favor of 2% and don't give more than 20oz/day. Trying to get that down to 15. She's been jumping up 3 to 4 lbs at each dr. visit so we're watching portion size (she's NOT on a diet, the pedi is just having us watch for signs of fullness and stopping the meal, since she will keep eating as long as there is food in front of her. I think she gets that from me.

Poof!

[ampaints]

She's so stinking cute ars093s!

[ars093s]

Thanks ampaints! 😄

[aydee]

ars093s Her hair is getting so long. Look at all those pretty curls!

[packmomma]

ars093s I see our children have the same love of clementines. W screams when he sees them because he's so excited.

[packmomma]

He's finally staying on his weight curve!! He's 23 lbs 14.5 on and 33 inches tall.

He's in 18 months but I've started buying 2t shirts so he can try putting them on himself. He's in size 5 diapers.

He's climbing everything and mimics me when I dance. Turns out I dance like a goober. 😂 He loves going down curly slides on his own (loves even more if he can do it backwards) he is a super physical kid and just wants to see what he can do (how high can I climb, jump, reach).

He eats everything except potatoes. His favorite foods are blue berries, clementines, and peas. He doesn't love ground beef but I'm trying to get him to eat it because he needs iron.

You can think ampaints for most of these pics 😉

[sweetsyrup]

Finally had B's appointment today. 23# and 32 inches. He moved up to the 21st percentile after fromming from the 40th to the 14th on his last two visits.

He's in size 5 diapers and we just moved to 18 month clothes.

He's a talker. DS1 said very little at this point, so it's amazing to hear him say new words daily. He throws wicked tantrums and loves to antagonize DS1. He loves being outside and hates being told that we have to go inside, even if his little fingers and nose are freezing! He also goes crazy for any and all animals.

He's a picky eater and will not eat fruits or vegetables, other then tomato sauce, French fries, or the applesauce pouches. It frustrates me to no end, but I just keep offering. I've started sneaking stuff in too.

I feel like I don't have a baby anymore!

C turned 18 months on 2/21 and we just had his very emotional appointment yesterday. He was shaking so bad from being terrified of the toe prick and 2 shots and just kept crying mamma, mamma...I was near tears. it was horrible.

He weighed in at 29 pounds, 54" head, and 34" for height. He is sturdy and eats like a champ. He loves pancakes with syrup, black beans, bananas, apple sauce, mac and cheese and ice cream. oh and chocolate.

He is in size 4 diapers and 24 months to 2t clothes.

He loves to be outside, in his stroller, he loves baby dolls and pushing them in their strollers, barbies, cars, trucks, and loves loves loves to read. He sleeps thru the night but is an early riser and takes a good 1.5 hour nap daily if not longer. He also loves to color and splash in the bath, and brush his teeth.

This is from 5 am this morning, chilling with his girlfriends

[layloo08]

N was 18 months on 3/1. The appointment was awful. He cried as soon as he saw the nurse.. 3 shots.
24 lbs (54%), 2ft 8in (42%), giant head still (89%).
He's on track for everything and will be seen again in September. Oh, and we are switching to 2% milk.

Size 6 diapers, 18m and 2T clothing. 10 teeth with 5 visibly coming..

He's a crap eater but likes black beans, hummus, and CFA chicken the best.

Loves to wear hats, play ball, read books, stuffed animals, and has a new love of trains, trucks, and cars. He's talking a lot and says around 35 words although most are only recognized by people who are around him a lot and context clues.

Poof

Here is a pic of him hugging his new bear that is made from some old jammies.

[mommabakes]

H was 18 months on the 21st of last month. Had his check up today.

Height and weight: 30.4# and 37" very large, lol

Clothing and diaper size: 2T mostly, size 5 diapers

New skills: finally starting to talk!

How are they eating: he eats everything! Especially broccoli, avocado, Mexican rice, yogurt, fruit, and cheese.

[zonagirl]

I'm late, she is 19 months now. Oops!

Height and weight: I don't remember...And too lazy to get up and look. I think she was either 22 or 23 lbs. She is in the 30 something %for weight and 3rd for height, lol.

She is in 12 and 18 month clothes and we just moved up to size four diapers.

New skills: she is really verbal. Strangers stop me to comment on it. She can count to ten and say some of her ABCs. She knows all her body parts and animals and loves to say hi to everyone. She really bring so much joy to my day every day.

Eating is iffy. She is a snacker. Doesn't really eat big meals.
