Wyatt's 18 month check up

We took Wyatt in for his 18 month check up on Friday and learned that he is doing great! He is developing very well and is right on track for a boy his age :) They repeated that the epic temper tantrums are totally normal, much to our dismay :) This is life with a toddler we are told so learning to "ignore" them is our best bet. I really see that as a lesson for Nick and I...hopefully we can stick to our guns and not give in.

His measurements confirmed he is "above average" in size (not a shocker) and that he is growing at a great pace.

Head - 19 inches (75%)

Weight - 27 pounds (75%)

Height - 35 inches (off of the charts)

We took a few pictures of him at the doctor office...he looks SO big to us :( He only had to get one shot and cried for half a second - then all he wanted was fruit snacks :)

As for our other little man, he goes in for his 4 month appointment on the 15th and we are just sure his measurements will also prove he is way big :) We just packed away all the 3 and 3 to 6 month clothes. I can hardly keep his closet and dresser up to date with how quickly he is growing. He is now eating 5 ounces every 2 to 3 hours and is sleeping 5 hours at a time at night. We are going to add some formula to the night bottles to see if we can stretch that a bit :) He is such a happy and smiley baby and we are loving his little personality.

Nick and I are doing well - I am FINALLY healthy and back to work. We are enjoying time with the boys and are kicking off a "healthy" living style by joining the YMCA and eating better. We will see how that goes :)

Here is to staying healthy!
