David at 18 Months

David turned 18 months earlier this month.  He is growing up so fast. The past two months, he really seems like a true kid all of a sudden.  We had his check-up Monday morning. Unfortunately, he had a fever and is fighting a little bug this week. At least, he didn't have to get his shots. His fever lasted almost 3 days. He didn't play, barely ate and drank and just wanted to snuggle all week. It was so pitiful to see him like this. Once he finally broke his fever, you could tell he still didn't feel great, but I also think some of it is him showing signs of the terrible 2's! I may have just spoiled him too much though for those 3 days and he just wanted it to continue.

He is such a big kid now. He has added lots of new words and tries to repeat everything you tell him. He loves to see trucks on the road and has even started checking out library books for himself, Dump Trucks, Corvettes, Airplanes, Fire Engines- he loves all things cars! He pushes around Presley's Barbie car all day! He loves dump trucks and gets so excited to see construction. He is still sleeping great, and many nights tells us he's ready for bed before we are ready for him to go. He goes to bed about 6:30 and wakes around 7, 7:30. He is taking one good nap a day from 12-2. He loves to be outside, at the park or just pushing the crazy coupe around the driveway. He is still obsessed with his daddy. He greets Cameron at the garage door every night when he gets home from work. He follows him around all weekend. It's really cute to see how much he adores his dad. They watch all kinds of sports together, but so far, David loves to watch baseball and Nascar racing. He says Boom when batters hit the ball. He eats dinner early still, around 4:30 and usually eats again with us around 5:30. He is a good eater for the most part, but doesn't really like meats right now. He loves all fruits and any carbs! He especially likes eggs. The other night he ate 4 kiwi with his other dinner.  His favorite fruit is Purp (purple grapes).

He still sleeps in tornado position, we call it. He immediately rolls over after we lay him down and plays with the back of his neck and hair. He turns on his music machine in the middle of the night sometimes if we wakes up and turns it back off when he leaves his bed in the morning. He sleeps with Clifford and the Grinch every night.

Here's his stats from his checkup:
Weight 20lbs, 5 oz (just under 3%)
Length 30 1/8"
Head Circumference 19"

I love this little man so much! He brings so much happiness to our family!

 Mrs. Lynn sent Pres a gift card to McDonald's for her birthday, so both kids got to enjoy a Happy Meal. David loved his burger!
