Big Boy!....7 Months!


Cool little dude

He insists on walking Lucy by himself

Daddy and Dane

Eighteen months has been a big month for Dane. A lot talking to say the least. Michael and I counted over 30 words he says daily. His favorite word by far is "ball." When he wakes up in the morning its the first thing he says.
He's learning to go poop in the potty...peeing is a different story since he goes every 10 minutes but he knows when he goes because he'll say potty and hold himself.
Today as usual we went outside to walk the dogs individually but Dane didn't want to sit in the stroller so he walked next to me while I walked Lucy. He insisted though that he hold the leash so I let him and he walked the 0.8 mile loop all by himself! It was pretty amazing because half the time he was running to keep up with her.
He sleeps in a big boy bed now as well. We didn't plan for it to happen so soon but he's been staying in the bed at night and I always read to him before he goes to sleep so I think he likes that since I can't lay next to him in his cirb;)
Michael had his bike worked on this week and also bought a bike seat for Dane to take him on night bike rides when the weather cools down. He tested it out tonight and seemed to like it!
Last, Dane had his 18 month checkup this week. He weighs 24 pounds (25% percentile for weight), 34 inches tall (95% percentile for height) and his head circumference is in the 95% percentile as well. So basically skinny and tall with a big head:)

Florida Bound


Dane and I went to the petting zoo at the local library this week. He would literally shove his way up to the front to get his hands in there and pet the animals!

The piggies

Bunnies


Petting the goats

Just got his hair cut by daddy this weekend...such a big boy!

Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Zucchini and peas

Dane and I are leaving Michael for a week to go to Florida with my mom and visit my grandma. Should be fun but we sure are going to miss daddy!
