The Big Brother

The big brother, Caleb, is 18 months... He has changed so much in the past few months.  He started walking around 13 months.  He quickly got pretty stable on his feet and hardly ever fell.  Just recently he started running.  :)  He absolutely loves climbing.  He also absolutely LOVES his sister and copies everything she does...  His favorite activities are eating (especially crackers, fruit, and bread), doing wooden puzzles, reading books, and dancing to music. He is pretty friendly and says "hi" over and over to people when they come into our house.  He doesn't need as much sleep as Julia (I didn't realize how good we had it with Julia... she is an awesome night time sleeper and napper).  He is super attached to his daddy.  He is a snuggler which I love...
 
At his 18 month check up, here were his stats:
Weight: 25 lbs 2 oz (64%)
Height: 33 in (71%)
Head: 48 1/2 cm (80%) 
 
Over the past 2 months he has been trying to talk so much and loves copying whatever we say.  He has so many words already!  Here are some of our favorites:
 
Mamma (my favorite!)
Dadda
Gim (game)
ta-tur (tractor)
Mee-meh (Minnie Mouse)
Ca-cur (cracker)
Breh (bread)
Gar-ner (gardener)
Pee (please)
Hi-yee (hi)
Buh-bye (bye)
Na-nuh (banana)
Key (kiwi)
Boop (poop)
Bah (bath)

Cute, cute, cute! :-). Such happy pictures. Love his big smiles. I can totally relate to realizing your firstborn was such a good sleeper compared to the second one. Lauren was such a cat napper and gave up naps sooner than Katie. But now she will often sleep in whereas Katie seems to wake up the same time every morning no matter what time she got to bed. My third is my best sleeper, though. Maybe yours will be, too? :-)
