Noah- 18 months

We went to the doctor for Noah's 18 month check-up and he finally grew! He hadn't grown since his 12 month appointment and it was about time! He was so big at first that he needed a little time to level out. He is now 33.5 inches tall (75th percentile) and 27 pounds (50th percentile). Dr. Prine says that is a great ratio and that he is doing wonderful. We talked about his eating habits, his sleep schedule, and answered lots and lots of questions about his progress in social and developmental skills. Of course, he passed all of the tests. He said hi and bye to every nurse and to Dr. Prine and was full of personality. He had a vaccination and cried for about 2 seconds only because he had to lie down on the table. We've been working on getting his allergies under control so his nose will stop running, but it's just that season. He's in perfect health and we don't have to go back until 2 years old! Time sure is flying!

Right after we had the pictures made, Noah got his first real haircut. He did an amazing job and looks like a big boy now. Definitely not a baby. It was sad to see the curls go, but it was time. I think Nathan dealt with it the worst. He was so proud of his son's cool hair!
