So I'm more than a little behind on this post because Brooks is actually almost 19 months now but he just had his check-up yesterday and I wanted to post his stats. He weighs 30 lbs (89th %) and he was 34 1/2 inches long (98th %). He is a tall (and heavy) boy! He is also the cutest, funniest boy in the world. There are so many things I want to document about him- I'm sure I'll forget a lot but I'm going to try.-He is saying so many things now:
Ball & car are his favorites, fish, balloon, hi, bye, mamma or usually just MA!, daddy, mimi (grandma), papa, Coco (his little teddy bear), blankie, baby, people (he learned this at Grandma Peggy's house), cracker, thank you, please, yeah, no & nope, uh-oh, oh no, up, where did you go (it comes out whey go?), what's that, oh dear (I guess I say that a lot), wow, whoa, boo, circle, I love you, mouse, Melmo (Elmo), Barney, choo choo, bubbles (he learned that in nursery), pants, shoes, eyes, mose (this is nose- so funny), go, and hot (which he whispers)... I'm sure there are more but I can't think of all of them right now.
- He still jabbers like crazy and if you don't look at him while he's talking and pretend like you know what he's saying he'll come and stand right in front of you and get in your face until you do. So cute.
- He knows what a dog, cat, monkey, cow, sheep, snake, and lion say.- He is obsessed with cars and has been for a long time. He will sit and push his cars around forever and say beep beep.
-He loves to play catch and is actually really good at catching and throwing. He also has a little basketball stand and loves to shoot hoops. He makes it the majority of the time. It's surprising how coordinated he really is.
- He LOVES to go outside and if he sees his shoes anywhere he'll bring them to me and demand that I put them on because he knows that means he's going outside.
- He is so good about holding my hand when we're out and about- and if he wants to go outside he'll come and grab my hand and walk me to the door.
- He is so smart - if he sees Thomas the train on tv he'll go get his little Thomas the train toy. If you ask him to say Barney or ask where Barney is he'll go pull out his Barney dvd. I love seeing him make connections like that!
-His favorite show right now is Fresh Beat Band. I have no idea why.
- He is so good about naptime and bedtime. All I have to do is ask him if he's ready to go take a nap and he'll immediately run to the stairs.
- He can show you where his nose, eyes, ears, hair, and belly are. Oh and his teeth too.
- He loves loves loves to wrestle with his daddy! He just loves his daddy in general. Every day when Brandon comes home from work Brooks starts running in circles just jabbering cause he gets so excited. It's pretty funny.
- He loves to cuddle. I never thought he would be like this because he's such a goer but he loves to come and sit on my lap and hold my hand and watch his shows on TV. I LOVE it.
- He is still super good about giving kisses- I love this too!
There are so many things I know I'm forgetting. I swear he learns so many new things every day. He's growing up so fast and it makes me sad but I am loving this age so much. He is so much fun and has the sweetest funniest personality.
* On a side note (mostly for grandma peggy), I have so many things from this summer to catch up on but when our computer crashed I lost all of our picture software stuff. So as soon as I get that stuff put back on I'll catch up.
