Cason at 18 Months

Yes, he's wearing the same shirt as last month. The prop he's holding is different and is proof that the photos were NOT taken on the same day. ;-)

Stats:
At his 18 month check up, Cason weighed in at 28 lbs 4 oz (75%) and measured 33.5" (80%).

Clothes: 

Clothes: 18-24 months (Cason's pretty much in all 24 month shorts. This means I'm stealing them from Cannon's drawer to put them on Cason, because Cannon can also still fit in 24 month shorts.
PJs: 2T pajamas
Shoes: Size 6 & 7 (He's really a size 6, but he's wearing Cannon's size 7 sandals from last summer because I know that the minute I buy a new pair in the correct size, he'll outgrow it.)

Sleeping: 

(same)
11-12 hours at night.
2-3 hours at nap time.

Eating: 

Cason is still a great eater and will most anything. 

Talking: 

New words and signs in "BOLD" below.

Cason will try to repeat anything and everything we say, even sentences. Alot of times it comes out sounding somewhat recognizable. He's able to repeat the syllables and inflections of our voice. 

Teeth: 

16 teeth - all the eye teeth have popped thru, so hopefully we're done teething for a little while. Cason still LOVES to put things in his mouth and chew on things though.

Likes: 
Cason LOVES the "My Little Word Book" and pointing at the pictures. He particularly loves the kids and babies. He also loves the book "Tubby" by Leslie Patricelli. He picked it out at the library all by himself and will find it in the book basket almost every day.

The child also LOVES to sweep. He'll run and grab the child-size broom in a heartbeat when I get out my broom to clean up after a meal. He sounds like a little bird, exclaiming "Eep! Eep! Eep!" as he pushes his broom around the kitchen.

Dislikes: 

No new dislikes this month.

Health:

Cason was in great health this month.

Milestones:

Cason is mimicking Cannon (what he says and does) more and more. He's becoming quite the little shadow (and parrot) these days.
