Eighteen Months
What a month of transition! We moved out of our house, traveled around a bit and finally settled in our new home. Holden was a trooper and did great during this chaotic time. He slept like a champ in his Pack N Play, but was in heaven when his crib was unpacked and put together. The first two days we were in he slept 12-13 hour nights, and took FOUR! hour naps during the day. Really came in handy for the unpacking process.
This month he has added verbs and adjectives to his vocabulary. Now he says two word phrases like: I sit, I sit down, I swim, it hurts, hot boon (hot air balloon), hot pool (jaccuzzi), I go down (the stairs), dada's truck, big truck, bye-bye dada, and fast boat. It's amazing what a little chatter box he is. He is now starting to repeat words that we say too.
He got two more teeth, his vampire teeth on the top and bottom of his left side. The other two on the right side are just starting to pop through - they'll be in by the end of this week.
His temper tantrums subsided a bit, and his biting and hitting stopped altogether.......until we moved into our house. He bit a child at school his first week back to daycare and then bit me the hardest he ever has. I still have a bruise the size of a plum on my leg.
At his eighteen month check up he weighed 25 lbs. and 11 oz. (50th percentile), his height was 33 3/4" (85th percentile), and his head circumference was 47 cm (30th percentile). He didn't receive his Hep. A vaccine because they were out of it, so we'll do it at his 24 month check up.
His favorite activities are riding the motorcycle with daddy, swimming with daddy, watching Baby Einstein videos, and playing-playing-playing. Anytime we have left him with anyone for a bit, the same two sentences come out of their mouth - in the exact same order, every time, without fail. First, he was really good. Then, he sure is busy! Yes, we know. Busy, busy Holden.
Sandi took this picture of Trey and Holden at the beach house. Could they look any more alike?

So, so cute. I love to hear all the words Holden is saying. And Congratulations on the new house and the move in! We can't wait to come down and see it.
