Zander turns 18 months

I realize that this day occurred over 2 weeks ago, but I have been waiting for his doctor checkup to give the full update, which didn't occur until the 1st.

Zander continues to be a cute, but busy boy. He is just as big of a troublemaker as his sisters (they have taught him well). He continues to amaze us everyday. He is saying more words daily and is much better as copying what we say that Zoey was at his age. He LOVES to climb on and get into everything. We have child proofed and locked as much as possible, but he still finds ways. It is always scary when you walk into the kitchen and find your 18 month old holding a knife that he got out of the dishwasher. Needless to say, we now have a lock on the dishwasher....as well as the freezer, most doors, and some cupboards/drawers. There are scratches and dings in my brand new walls from Zander knocking down the gates because they were preventing him from getting somewhere and there is a nice round indention in Maizy's wall from who knows what. All I know is Casey told me Zander was crying and when he went in the room, he found the dent. He is a lovey child as all my kids seem to be. He will follow us around the house crying just because he wants to be picked up and held for a few minutes. He loves to sit on our lap-as long as he has some entertainment, and he is excellent at giving kisses (so cute). He is still a little bow-legged, but that seems to be improving.


He is my big boy. He is moving into some 3T clothes as 2T's are starting to get a little tight. We may have to roll sleeves and legs a little, but otherwise they fit great. The doctor told me to start an exercise routine with him and get him outside as soon as the weather gets good enough. I told her he runs around the house with his sisters as much or more than he would outside. If any of you have seen this kid, he doesn't have a roll on him anywhere...he is just pure SOLID! He may weigh more than most kids his age, but he is also taller than most kids his age with a bigger head too. I understand where my doctor is coming from. Childhood obesity is a real problem, but I don't think Zan is heading there.

Stats:
Height-35.43 inches which is the 99% (off the curve according to the graph)
Weight-33.25 lbs which is the 99% (off the curve according to the graph)
OFC- 19.6 inches which is the 93% (still on the curve but barely)

What can I say, we grow big stock around here.
He is a healthy and happy boy, and that is all I can ask for.
