18 months for Caden and 32 weeks for Baby Sissy

Caden had his 18-month check-up on Friday:) It's SO cray how fast the time is flying by! Here are his latest stats:
Height - 33 inches (67th percentile)
Weight - 21.6 pounds (4th percentile)
Head Circumference - 18 inches (5th percentile)

Some of Caden's favorites at 18 months:

READING! This kid LOVES his books! This picture was not posed - I found the little reader all set up in his chair with his book!



  • Climbing onto the kitchen table and desk
  • Playing with trucks 
  • Playing with Poppi's trains (he loves to hit the sound buttons)
  • RUNNING! He has one speed - run and see who can keep up!
  • Playing in sand/dirt/mud
  • Going to Grams and Papa Smutz' new cabin at Columbine Lake
  • Space Odyssey at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science - he could play in the sand pit all day long and LOVES pressing all the buttons in the spaceship

EATING! Caden eats like a champ most days. He hasn't hit that picky toddler stage yet, which we are super thankful for:)

Little man eating Quinoa:) 





Other foods he is loving:
  • Milk (he still drinks ~ 20 ounces / day)
  • Seeds (shelled sunflower seeds)
  • Broccoli
  • Grapes
  • Berries
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Pirate Booty
  • Cheese
He learns new words every single day! He is such a little sponge/parrot:) He has put two words together for a few phrases:
  • Thank You
  • All done
  • All clean
The majority of his new language is single words. The ones that we hear most often: 
  • Welcome
  • Car
  • Boat
  • Bus
  • Yellow (ye-yow)
  • Blue (boo)
  • Green (geen)
  • Plane
  • Space
  • Mars
  • Moon
  • Sky
  • Tree
He LOVES to point to things when we are out driving or walking:) We are loving this stage with out little chatterbox!

Baby Sissy is also growing/developing quickly. I am 32 weeks today! She weighs about 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long. Apparently she will gain 1/3-1/2 of her birth weight in the next 7 weeks! She has toenails, fingernails and hair (hopefully!).
