18 Month Stats

Weight: 25lbs 6oz, 50%
Height: 33.5inches, 85%

Head circumference is in the 90% (down from 95%), but I don't have the exact measurement. Amazingly, to his vertically challenged mother, he is in the 85% for height. D said it may be the last time. Well at least he's growing into his head! And there were no shots this time. We'll be back for a visit with the doc in 6 months time, when Xavier turns 2.

On the Road Again

Spring is here and so is our new stroller. It's a jogging stroller and we are excited to get out on lake shore and start running...I'm hoping to run the LaSalle Classic Half M again and D wants to join...the short training runs only, of course. Xavi loves the stroller and has been asking to go out in it since we got it. Luckily, we've had 60+ degree weather since the weekend (today was cooler, but still stroll worthy), so there have been trips around the block, through the college and to the playlot. At the playlot, he's gotten very good at climbing up the stairs on his own and sliding down - feet first and belly down. He has gotten quite upset when he heads toward the house, so we've had to be sneaky on our way home. He can't spot the house or the car because the drama begins. Today, he had to come in with the stroller. And wasn't happy to come in or get out of the stroller. Yay, Spring!

So Funny

I don't think he even knows what he's laughing about, but it happens a lot - he'll just start laughing....

This is a long video, I've been holding out. I just hadn't found the time to put it all together.

Xavier in a Box

Before anyone gets upset, we didn't do this to him...he put the box on his head himself. He cried when we took it off. He also got in the box, no surprise there, and spun around with the box on this head...until he got dizzy and fell down. Peaking through the hole.
This while trying to get ready to have breakfast with Isa and Dylan. He loved eating with them and was introduced to blueberries, but also lost Elmo that morning. Gotta get a new one soon-- before Xavier notices. He probably didn't notice after breakfast because he had to say goodbye to Isa and then walked down the street holding hands with Dylan. They'd look at each other and laugh at some private joke. Moms held on to the other hands. It was really fun to see them playing together like big boys. They also raced cars when we got indoors.
