18 Months

Preston had his 18 month checkup last week. Here are his numbers: Height- 34 inches and in the 91st percentile, Weight- 29.4 lbs and in the 88th percentile. At least he is tall too! Our pediatrician told us that since he is a "bigger child" (pretty sure those are the words she used:) we can switch him to 1% or 2% milk. He got a couple shots, which got him pretty ticked at the nurse and he gave her a mean look. Other than that, he is right on target for everything else. We also went over to Grimes to get his 18 month pictures done outside. Needless to say, he wasn't that cooperative- he didn't want to smile, sit, or pose, and I am pretty sure we didn't get 1 family picture that turned out because he was screaming. Just hoping that she got some good candids of him running around because that is all he wants to do now! We are enjoying this beautiful spring weather and playing outside A LOT- riding our bikes, stroller rides, toy car rides, firetruck rides, wagon rides, playing catch, writing with chalk, playing with the neighbors, going to the playground, watching trucks and school buses, etc, etc. Mommy bought Preston a new little picnic table which should be fun for picnics outside this summer.
Preston LOVES watching trucks outside- mail, garbage, cement, pick-up, it doesn't matter. This day, he saw the garbage cans outside waiting to be dumped so he knew the garbage truck was coming. He wouldn't leave the window so he had to eat breakfast by it so he wouldn't miss the garbage truck going by. The garbage truck came 2 hours later just as we were leaving for school...it was a long morning.

Wagon ride to feed the ducks....although I don't think much of that bread was left for the ducks after Preston got a hold of it!

Once again, watching trucks outside with his own truck. The neighbors are putting in a garage, so there are lots of trucks for him to watch right now.
Hawaiian Day at school-he wore a cool Costa Rica shirt! And he brought a lei for each one of his friends.

Oliver is also obsessed with trucks - and motorcycles. He runs to the window whenever he hears one, and squeals with delight when he sees one at the park. (And he thinks anybody on a motorcyle is "Daddy!!")
