18 month stats

Because of our hospital visit, we missed our 18 month check up with the doc, so we went just before he turned 19 months old. We know he lost weight during everything the last couple months, so we expected his weight to be lower. He will hopefully get back on his trend and average percentage by his 2 year check up. Otherwise, he's STILL the tallest kid in class, and his head circumference is just about in the middle.

18 Month Stats:
Weight: 26 lb 14 oz (60%)
Height: 35 inches (97%)
Head circumference: 18 3/4 (45%)

They also had us answer a bunch of questions about Hudson's development, and he passed with above average answers! The doc said he is above average, and one smart cookie! Not that we didn't already know that…but it's nice when your doc says it too! He is saying a lot of new words, and is communicating so well - tractor is my current favorite, because he says it in such a cute way - so enthusiastic! He's gotten very good and pulling and pointing you where he wants you to go as well...

Hudson continues to do well with his recovery, and is loving food, play time, choo choo's and cars more than ever. He is sleeping well also, and has started warming back up to taking baths by himself again - which is nice for me! Today we went out to the park TWICE (it was in the high 70's!!), and he had a ball playing in the sand, watching the other kids, going down the slide, and checking out some of the plants and curbs along the way. He also made sure to stay hydrated with his cool new CARS sippy cup!
