18 Months Old Today!

Wow, he's been around for a year and a half already! We took a couple of pictures of him in the bath tonight to commemerate the occasion but he looks strange in them: really fat and his shoulders are all hunchy so we opted not to put one in the blog. Sorry.

We've got his 18 month well-baby visit on Tuesday. I think I'll be bringing Baby John with us if his parents approve. I'll certainly have my hands full. So, we're most anxious to see if he's hit 20 pounds yet. J has a feeling we'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm not so sure, but I'll just have to see. I do hope so. He's just still not much of an eater even after weaning. We also want to ask if he should be taking a vitamin now that he's not nursing anymore. I'll keep you posted on how it all goes.

So, at 18 months Easton is now both weaned from me and the paci. Yay! Well, not so much yay for the stopping nursing but it was time. Also, he got his last of the 4 incisors today. Isn't that what those pointy teeth are called? Anyway, I can feel the very sharp tip of it just poking through so hopefully when it's done cutting through the gum he'll stop some of his "morning moaning". It still wakes me up even if it doesn't require me to intervene. Oh well, it's not too bad. If it's not E, then it's the dang cat or the annoying neighbor dogs that wake me. Whine whine whine. You should have heard me bitching about it yesterday. I was ready to call the cops about noise ordinance laws 'round here. Grrrr.

In other news, Easton unzipped his p.j.'s today. He's been proficient with zippers for awhile, mostly on my purse next to him in the buggy at the grocery store, but he's also figured out that some of his jammies have zippers. At breakfast he unzipped and put some Cheerios inside. Then I tried getting him down for an early nap (since his tooth likely woke him early) but he just layed there unzipping his sleeper. Silly.

Well, this will have to be short today as I'm feeling lazy. It has been rainy the last few days and we haven't done a thing. So, there's not much to report anyway. Don't count on hearing from me tomorrow as I'll have both the boys again. Then I'll update either Tuesday or Wednesday about the appointment. See ya then!
