18 Month Checkup

Dresden had his 18 month checkup today.  Here is how he measured up:

Weight - 27 lbs  50-55%
Height - 34 ins  85-90%
Head Circ - 49 cm

So he is still doing well and still growing!  As he has a few words he now says once says, "Hi", "up", "apple" and "purple", he still babbles and babbles away.  The doctor called this "advanced jargon".  It has a name!

Last week we went to the Childrens' Museum in downtown Atlanta.  They were running a half price special, but I still ended up paying $7.00 to watch Dresden going up and down stairs.  Since that is all he did, that is all I had pictures of.

Up the tractor steps
And down the tractor steps
Up the house stairs
And down the stairs
And stop to wash the dishes
I pulled the camera out today during Dresden's bath time as he was being very silly.  I finally got a picture of his goofy smile he gives off rarely.

Olympic Park

Monday we went to Olympic Park.  I had the hardest time keeping Dresden at the playground.  He was more interested in the numbers etched on the sidewalks, than playing.  Who knew?
I also found out quickly that it is hard to take pictures of this kid when Josh isn't around.  I wasn't able to get pictures of him playing in the splash pad/fountain (partly because I had to be in it as well for him to stay), but I did get pictures of the "after".

Lately Dresden has been trying to use his dump truck as a skateboard.  I tried taking a picture of it, but as soon as the camera comes out he gets off.  Sorry I still have your pajamas Kattie. :)

I had to coax him through the tunnel





He was content with standing at the bottom of the slide while all the other boys had to dodge him coming down.

Dresden has a small obsession with stairs.

One of the few boys in our group who dared to get soaked.  With some coaxing of course... and swinging him in the path of the water...
He was being goofy for some reason whenever he stuck a handful of blueberries into his mouth.
