18 months!



This sweet little guy is 18 months old now!

He is such a busy boy now- always running around, exploring, and climbing on everything.




We had his 18 month checkup yesterday. He still weighs in around 22 lbs. His doctor was a little concerned that he hadn't gained any weight, but I think it's because he is so active now. If he doesn't gain some weight soon he may have to drink a Pediasure everyday so it's not a huge deal.

Everything else was great. Developmentally he is right on track.  He is saying about 10-12 words now, including Mama, Dada, night night, bye, hello, all done, go, banana, etc.

He loves playing with cars, blocks, and trains. 

He wears 18-24 month size clothing, size 6 shoe, and size 4 diapers. He is definitely long and lean.

His favorite foods are bananas, chicken nuggets, carrots, and spaghetti. Though there aren't many foods that he won't eat. He has a good appetite.

Sleep and naps are a mess right now but we are working on it.

He is starting to show some signs of tantrums and tries to bite us frequently. We are trying to put a stop to that. His bites hurt!

We love our sweet Miller man and enjoy his precious little personality so much!

We love October

October is easily my favorite month.  The weather, the scents, the clothes... I love fall.  I haven't updated the blog lately because chasing two busy toddlers all day doesn't allow for much down time.  

We have been busy lately spending nice days at the park....


Playing with cars...



Running wild with a mini shopping cart.  (Yes, that is a toddler safety harness (ok... it's a leash).  When you have a wild toddler like Declan who likes to run off, a leash is just added security.  Plus it allows him to have some freedom walking by himself, while giving me peace of mind.)


Loving on our dog, Millie...


Smiling for a rare photo opportunity for Mommy...


Playing in the play area at the mall on the rainy days...




Playing with their new 3 foot tall racetrack...


Decorating a pumpkin for Lucas...


And lighting a candle for Lucas on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day...

Happy Thursday!
