Reese Is 18 Months!

Reese has been 18 months old for a few days now. I guess it's just not as big of news when you're baby number two. . . Sorry Reese! He had his 18 month check up and even though he has only put on about 8 oz. since his last check up in May (he weighed in on Wednesday at about 22 lbs) he has grown a whopping TWO inches and is now about 32.5 inches long!

At 18 months old he loves to climb, and can run but not quite jump. He still loves to eat all kinds of foods and his favorites right now are corn on the cob and mango (I buy diced mango in individual cups, he really loves it and yells it out "MANGOOH" when I get it out of the cupboard). Although it's hard for anyone one but Mom to understand, he has several words he can say or repeat, like "eee too" for "me too" and he says this anytime he wants something that Clayton has or is doing. Surprisingly, he doesn't have a word for "Clayton" or "brother" but you can already tell that he thinks the world of him! He loves to give everyone a "bam" (pounding fists together) and "bonk" (bonking foreheads together) as a goodbye ritual and it's very important to him.
