18 Months

I have been trying to get an 18 month photo and post completed for two weeks now! This will be long, but it is more for my records than to bore you! So I won't be offended if you don't read it. I want this archived so that I can scrapbook it once I get a little more organized and settled!

The photo isn't the greatest, but it will do for now!



Zechariah at 18 months:

• Weighs almost 26lbs. He's lost a bit of weight--maybe because he is so active now!
• Is approximately 33 inches long (a rough measurement--he doesn't hold still long enough)
• Goes to bed at 8:00 p.m. and wakes at about 8:00 a.m. at the latest.
  
• Still takes his two naps. He went to one nap for about a week and then switched back to two again! I LOVE his TWO naps! The morning one is usually 2-3 hours and the afternoon one is 1/2 -1 hour. I think it will change here again though--he's been pretty sick lately!
• Has all of his teeth, except his two year molars. I really pray he doesn't get those until he is two!!
  
• Eats a HUGE breakfast! Loves Eggs, toast and fruit!
• Loves FRUIT, especially apples and mangoes.
• Loves cars and trucks. He can even distinguish the difference!
• Loves animals, especially puppies!
• Still loves his books and loves to look at them himself.
• Loves to talk on the phone in real life and pretend!
• Enjoys being outside and eating rocks!
• Has an infectious laugh!
• Loves to listen to music and has even started to sing.
• Likes to dance with Mom! (since daddy won't)
• Loves Sesame Street (the old school 70's episodes)!
• Has learned how to say "cheese" for the camera!!
  
• Gets so excited when Daddy comes home from work!
