18 months old!

Benjamin had his 18 month appointment today. He's now 21 pounds, 9 ounces, and 31 1/4 inches tall! Some other new things: he LOVES to color, "help" us clean (see the photo below), talk (though mostly in his own language, but he does say mama, dada, gaga (grandma & grandpa), guck (duck), nana (banana), egg (he's said this once, so we'll see if it ever happens again!), and some other assorted things. He is getting over a cold and had an ear infection as well, and was NOT happy about taking his medicine this morning (and we have 9 1/2 more days of that...yikes!). He's a pretty happy kid, enjoys stacking his rings and blocks, giving hugs and kisses, and is a lot of fun! We're just waiting for it to cool down out here so we can play outside some more...100+ degrees does not equal fun! And it's getting hard to get a photo of him looking at the camera and smiling at the same time...he'd rather run, play, grab the flash, etc, so I'm doing the best I can! :)
