18 Months...A Little Late

This month Evan turned 18 months.  He is quite the little busy body now.  Exploring and getting into everything.  Trying to talk more and very vocal at times.  Still very smiley and a happy little boy.  He is on target for growth and development.  Here are his stats:  Height--34 in. (91%) and
weight 28 lbs. 2 oz. (78%).

Evan seems to have grown in a weeks time.  All of his 12 month pants are now too short and it seems like just within a week or two.  His vocabulary is getting a little bit bigger.  Please, up, down, bye, ball, truck.  And his recognition and understanding are great.  He knows exactly what we are telling him.  Whether he does it or not is another story, but he is a toddler :).  Also, this weekend, driving around town he would say "go Papa!"  And he wanted to go see Papa and Nana.  It was so cute.  He also is recognizing where we are.  Pulling into Mom's work this week and having not said where we were going, he said "Nana, Nana!"  So much fun right now.  But he also takes in everything we do and especially Madi.  He tries to do a lot of what she is doing, but not quite big enough yet.  He loves playing outside and in the shed.

Both of the kids have been playing so well together lately.  Evan and Madi will take off for the basement or one of their rooms and can play together for a good half hour.  It's very helpful at meal times or just trying to get the house picked up.  And Madi is so helpful with Evan.  She loves to take care of him and do things for him.  She gets mad at times when she wants to help him and I step in.  She is the little mommy and plays that way too!  They are great kids!

Love, Amy
