18 Months Old

James is a year and a half old!

We had his 18-month doctor's appointment a little bit ago.

Vital statistics (percentiles calculated with this chart):
Height: 31 inches (15th percentile)
Weight: 23.6 pounds (20th percentile)
Head Circumference: 48 centimeters (58th percentile)

Sam and I sat down to make a list of words that James could say before his appointment, and we had to keep adding to it throughout the week. I guess that means James is starting his big language leap already after a long period of just having a handful of words. He's making some two-word sentences, like "I stuck!" and "Dada, sit!"

And some other things James is doing right now:

• Climbing
• Trying to jump 
• Copying everything Amelie does
• Looking through books
• Throwing things
• Dragging his baby doll everywhere
• Directing where everyone should sit
• Pretending to eat and pretending to feed us
• Dancing
• Singing (he tries to sing the alphabet with us and says "Whinny Pooh Whinny Pooh" whenever Amelie sings the song)
• Absolutely insisting upon using a fork and spoon (I may or may not have put a bite-size piece of pizza on a spoon the other day.)

Here's the link to Amelie's 18-month appointment for comparison purposes: http://babybuffaloe.blogspot.com/2011/12/18-month-doctors-visit.html

I took pictures, but they're stuck on the camera. I'll update when I can get them off.
