18 months

 

Chase

 

Owen

I've been meaning to write this post for weeks-3 exactly.  Chase and Owen are now 18 months old.  My babies are a year and a half! Amazing. They are transforming into little boys right before my eyes and it's precious. 

They had their 18 month appointment on Friday.  Ever since they were born Chase has always weighed a little more than Owen, but just by a few ounces.  This time, he weighed 1 lb. more!  That's a little when you are a little guy.  You can totally tell when you pick them up and compare their weight.  Chase is SOLID.  What is quite funny is that they are exactly the same length and their head sizes are exactly the same.  What's also funny is that their percentile ranks came out different-I think the nurse messed up on that one.  One kid can't be in the 45% percentile and the other in the 52nd.  They are exactly the same age-hello.  Both boys checked out great in the development department, minus the fact they are not talking that much.  I have seen growth this week alone, so I'm encouraged.  Of course we discussed sleep and got no new ideas . . . ahhh.  Oh well.

Chase and Owen each got 4 shots.  I cried at their first shots when they were 3 months old and I teared up this time too. It's hard to watch.  Owen cried so hard he burst some capillaires in his face and has little red dots all over.  Good news is, they don't have to have more shots until they are 5!  :)

Let's see, what's new . . . they love to say "Patty Cake".  Chase said "guk" for duck, but for book, says ball a lot and is imitating other new sounds. Owen is a little hesitant to make new sounds, he just likes to watch your mouth.  He is very good at saying "ahhh" after drinking his water.  He is a squeaker. He has a high pitched squeak that he uses when talking. It's pretty funny.
