Cody is 18 months old!
Can you believe our little man is a year and a half?! As they say, time goes quickly.
We had his 18 month old check-up with his pediatrician and all went well. Here's his stats:
Weight: 23.8 pounds (10-25th percentile; actually LOST 3 ounces from 15 mo *)
Height: 31.5 inches (25th percentile)
Head Circumf: 19 inches (50-75th percentile)
* The boy does not stop moving! I swear, we feed him and this boy can EAT!
He is still not saying many words, much to our disappointment, but we are confident they will come in time. He babbles in his own German slash Alien language NON-STOP so I think that once he does get the words out, he will not.stop.talking !!! We hope words are on the horizon soon...they seem so CLOSE. He does say "BYE!" and has said a few other words like "hair", "meow", "ball", etc. I know, watch what you wish for, but the grunting gets old sometimes :)
That said, he definitely knows what we are saying and probably understands more than we know. He can get his shoes from the utility room floor, as well as mommy and daddy's shoes too (and picks out the right ones!). He will throw things in the garbage can for us (including the one under the sink with the door) and put his toys away. He knows what he wants (water, snacks, etc.) and is not afraid to let us know in his own way!
We bought him a potty chair last week - oh Lord help me! I don't think he is quite ready but he does seem to know what "pee" and "poop/stinky" is....so maybe it's not too far away.
He is a total monkey. Climbing on everything. Couches, lawn chairs, beds, etc. The other day at daycare, when backs were turned for a few seconds, he managed to get up the ENTIRE climbing wall of the playset and stood at the top with a huge grin of satisfaction on his face! Little stinker. Also, I hear his new thing at daycare is sliding down the stairs on his belly, but standing up at the last step, turning around and jumping down to the floor. I'm finding myself pining away for a rambler these days....
That's an update for now. More news soon about a very BIG change to Cody's life that will be coming up!
I can't resist putting a few candids up of the love of our lives! Enjoy.

Sadly, I think he has Gordon's photogenic qualities...
Best toy EVER!

It sure looks like you all had lots of fun at the State Fair with Grandma A! We sure loved all the pictures of Cody and the video clip. We can't wait to see him in person again real soon.

love these posts and the pics! he's getting so big!! and do not worry on the words. they come. and they don't stop lol. if zoe is awake she is talking and still babbling away.
So you are going to leave us in suspense, huh? Big change to Cody's life? Talk about a cliffhanger. I have a guess but I won't post it here. But Cody is a cutie and he'll talk when he's ready. And then he'll probably surprise you with all he says. I can't believe he's 18 months already!
