Well, he’s almost 19 months now … but I was putting off this post until we went to his well-check last week. I was afraid Spencer would not be excited about being back at the doctor’s office after our sick visit and flu checks the week before, but he was fine. He talked and smiled with Dr. Webb and barely even made a sound when he got his shots.
Here are Spencer’s 18 month stats. It’s amazing how close to Alex he is in size!
Height: 33.5 inches … 80 %ile (grew 1 inch since Oct) Alex was 33.5 inches, too!
Weight: 27 lbs, 6 oz … 85 %ile (gained 2 lbs since Oct) Alex was 26 lbs, 6 oz
Head: 49.5 cm … 94 %ile (grew about 1 cm since OCt) Alex was 50 cm
Spencer has become quite the chatterbox! He surprises us everyday with a new word and has even started putting words together. Today, he kept hiding a fork under his truck, then saying, “Oh no! Where doh?” Pretty good for an almost 19 month old, right? He also LOVES to sing. You can actually tell he’s singing Old MacDonald or Twinkle Twinkle from the tune. He loves for you to count and tries to say one, two, three, go! all day long. This is really cute, until you try to count to twenty while he’s sitting in time-out (usually for hitting Alex). He just sits there and grins because he loves to hear us count!
Spencer is also an evil genius. He is so inquisitive about everything and uses his Daddy’s engineering mind to figure everything out. He knows how to open all our kitchen cabinets and drawers (even though they have child-locks), he can turn doorknobs, but isn’t quite tall enough to open the door yet, he’s figured out the touchscreens and can start and stop the tv at will. I definitely run, run, run to keep up with him, but he keeps me laughing while I’m running. Alex has even gotten to the point where he finds Spencer’s antics funny, has stopped getting mad when Spencer hits him, and loves to just shake his head at me when Spencer is being crazy. They are so much fun together!
And now, my favorite part of this blog post … comparing Alex and Spencer! (While browsing old pictures, I couldn’t decide on just 1)
 Alex, 18 months old |  Spencer, 18 months old |
