You don't raise heroes, you raise sons.
And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.

18 Months Old

Photobucket
Today was Joshua's 18mth check-up with his new pediatrician. I had to keep reminding myself that she doesn't know him like Dr. Humphrey did so not to take too much to heart. She mentioned by 2yrs old he should be running. All I could think was "Running a 5K?". This baby runs already and fast too.

Anyway, he is a healthy little boy as always. He weighs 22lbs 8oz and is 32.5" tall. He gained almost a pound in the past two months. I used to be worried about it, but then I read other blogs or hear about other moms that are so worried about how much their child is gaining. At this point I'm not worried if Joshua doesn't weigh close to 30lbs. He is healthy and he is VERY, VERY active. Especially, when he started walking almost eight months ago and now just runs everywhere, climbs onto everything, and just plain never sits still. I think the only time I see him sit still is when he is sleeping and even then he is a wiggle worm.

We won't go back to his doctor until he is 24mths old (or he gets sick). So we are just going to keep doing what we have been doing and love him more and more every day.

His latest words are: Brother, Brat, Hot Dog, Wait, and Yes.
