18-Month Stats
You are 18 months old today.
Wow!
You appear to be developing ideally, according to Dr. Patil. You only got one shot today at your check-up and recovered pretty quickly from the prick. You are 26 lbs. 12.8 oz (75-90%) and are a whopping 34” tall (off the chart).
Your vocabulary has grown so much since your last check-up. Every word has two parts, even if it’s a one syllable word. The first part of the word has a higher inflection that leads into a lower toned second part. It’s adorable. You’ll repeat just about anything we say, but here’s a list of words you use on your own. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some, but I wanted to get as complete a list as possible because at this rate you’ll be writing novels by your third birthday.
mommy=mommy
daddy=daddy
nonny=grandma (Olivia’s mom)
papa=grandpa (Olivia’s dad)
mah ma=grandma (Tyler’s mom)
bah=ball
bee bee=baby
doo dee=cookie
doh=door
nah no=Zander
mah me=Mandy
amy=Amy
nee nee=Tony Stewart’s Home Depot Chevy ran good all day
i=hi
bye bye=bye bye
nack=snack
poo=pool
chew or do=shoe
dah=dog
gee or kee=keys
owie=owie
nite nite=good night
Melmo=Elmo
bah=bath
be brr=big bird
booh=book
bah poo=diaper
bobble=bottle
poopy=poopy
gorga=Georgia
no=no
mah=Max (cousin)
pee or bee=please
gee=cheese
duh=duck
meh mane=air plane
guh go=color
nah nuh=Jana
wah=grass
we=rain
ah=hot
bay oh=bear
gah go=cracker
boppy=potty
bi po=diaper
buh bo=bubbles
i=slide
dah doo or tah too=thank you
bur=burp
bobby=belly button
tee=teeth
e oh=ear
eye=eye
no=nose
maw=mouth
bah bum=bottom
You also say a number of phrases, your most recent being “ook ah me” (“look at me”), know many animal noises and can point to nearly all your body parts. We continue to be amazed at how much you comprehend. A couple of weeks ago your daddy asked you to walk across the living room to pick up a ball and put it on the coffee table. And you did it! We were quite impressed!
Obviously the biggest change we anticipate over the next few months is the arrival of your little brother or sister. We continue to be optimistic that the transition will be okay for you. You tend to get jealous when I hold other babies, but you’re very gentle and loving to them despite your jealousy. As the due date nears I have become increasingly nervous about the baby’s arrival. I love you so much, and I’m afraid that you will feel neglected once the baby is here.
