Elliot-18 Months

Well, I am another 3 months older, and I keep learning stuff every day!  I just turned 18 months old, and I am a busy little boy.  I try hard to keep up with my brother, but sometimes I just can't, and get frustrated.  I continue to work on my speech, and am saying a few words now.  My first word was lawnmower (I'm an overachiever).  Mommy and Daddy remind me to focus on easier words, and in the past few weeks I have also learned ball, duck, dadda and no no.  I have a lot to learn, but I'm getting there...I keep reminding Mommy that everyone works at their own pace!  (in other words, give me a break!)  :)  I LOVE to scream, and it drives people a little nuts.  I don't care for TV at all, but I will sit for a little while and watch Baby Einsteins (it fascinates me).  I eat almost anything, although I have started getting pickier lately and throw the food on the floor that I don't like.  I know that I'm not supposed to do that, so I instantly say 'no no' to myself when I do it.  

Here are my stats from my 18 month visit with Dr. Paulson: 

Weight: 24 pounds, 12 ounces (34%)

Height: 33 Inches (70%)

Head: 18.75 inches (45%)

I somehow lost my 'chubbiness' and got a little taller that I have been in the past.  But I'm healthy and that's good!  Look how good my skin looks too!  

That's all for now, time to go play with my best friend (Noah)!  

Noah's 4 Year Birthday Party

Okay, okay, we are a little behind.  But it's because we have been SUPER busy and enjoying our summer!  It's been a few months, but I had my 4 year birthday party and it was super fun.  We had it at the Maple Grove Maple Maze/Swimming Park this year.  The theme was Spiderman (of course) and I had a ton of fun with my friends.  We jumped around in the Maple Maze, ate pizza and cake, then ended the day with swimming.
I got to celebrate my birthday a lot this year.  First it was a party at daycare, then cake and presents on my actual birthday, then a party the next weekend.  I think my birthday should last that long every year!

though because I was driving too fast and there are no seat belts)

Noah-4 Year Old Fun

Hi everyone!  I am FINALLY 4 years old!  I have been waiting forever to be 4, and on my birthday I asked my mom how long it would be until I was 5....oh boy :) A few days after my birthday, mommy and I visited Dr. Paulson for a checkup.  He asked me all sorts of '4-year old' questions like my address, phone number, etc.  The conclusion was that I have a little work to do :) I also got my hearing and vision checked, and I did awesome with those tests.  I had to get some shots this time around too, and I was NOT a fan of that.  Dr. Paulson told me I was done now though, and don't need any more until I am 11.  Whew. Here are my stats at age 4:

I hope there aren't shots!

Height: 41.5 inches (77th percentile)
Weight: 39 pounds (75th percentile)
Blood Pressure- Normal
BMI-15.9 (Normal)




Overall I am a healthy boy!  I am really starting to get independent now, and like to do most things on my own without help from mommy or daddy.  To keep the tradition going, mommy asked me about my 'favorites' on my birthday.  Here are a list of them:

Color: Blue
Food: Pizza
TV Show: Spiderman
Move: Monster's Inc.
Fruit: Apples
Vegetable: Corn
Song: Somebody that I used to Know by Gotye (I sing along using my own words, none of which match the actual lyrics)
Toy: My action figures (Spiderman, Batman and Superman)
Best Friend: Brady
