18-months old!

Today Joseph is 1 1/2 years old! We made our way to the doctor this morning for the 3rd time in a week and a half . . . this time for his well-baby check-up.

Joseph's stats:

Weight = 27 lbs. 14 oz. = 75%
Height = 34 3/4" = still off the chart

The weight is a little deceiving because at our first of these three visit he weighed 29 lbs. He's dropped a little over a pound in the last week due to being sick. If he were still at 29 lbs. he would be in the 85th percentile. . . which is where he's been for the last 6 months or so.

Joseph's latest activities:

Talking/Signing - Joseph signs "Please" along with saying "pee" when prompted. Lately he has been saying it for anything he wants. He also signs and says "all done." He also signs "food" and "more." Other new words: "ki" for kiss - "sto - it" for stop it.

Discipline - If Joseph gets in trouble for touching something, then he turns around and shakes his finger at that thing that got him in trouble . . . "sto - it" . . . .

Running - Joseph runs everywhere. And if he's not running. . . he's walking backwards . . . with his eyes closed. I don't know why . . .
