18 Months and a NEW Potty...

Our little Man is 18 months old and we truly can't believe how big he is getting.  He had his check up this last week and was not liking it at all.  He started to cry the minute we took his clothes off to weigh him.  He has figured out that when he goes to see Dr. Chip he get a shot. :-(  Needless to say, he was anticipating the shot the whole time.  He did a little better while sitting with Mommy and Daddy.  Dr. Chip gave him Mickey Stickers, a cup, and a popsicle stick to play with and he loved that!  Other than getting a shot the appointment was great!  We did have one big question though... when should we start to potty train!?! Dr. Chip said it would be a good idea to just get a little potty and have it around for B to get used to, but don't pressure him to use it.  He also said we could try to have him sit on it around bath time.

SO, this is what happened today...
He loved to sit on the potty! 
We probably won't really be using it for a while, but he is having fun sitting on it for now!

What B has been up to this last month...

  • Weighs 23 lbs. 3 oz.(20%)

  • Height 32 3/4 inches (70%)

  • Can copy you when saying the Alphabet and will point out and say letters when he sees them throughout the day. 

  • Loves his Little Einstein flashcards and can say a lot of the words on them... Earth, Leo, egg, apple, beans, orange, balloon, yo-yo.

  • Says Twinkle, Twinkle when you sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

  • He likes to fake sneeze and then laugh because he thinks it's so funny 

  • Says stinky or P-U and plugs his nose when you change his diaper.

  • Loves matchbox CARS!!!

  • Loves to drive his cars on the window sills in his playroom and crash them into each other... what a boy!
