Noah 18 Months Update

Took Noah to the doctor Thursday and he cried the minute we walked in the door. He recognized the place and the people and knew what we were there for. Maybe it won't be so bad when we are done getting shots. He had to have 3 immunizations and a flu shot this time. Poor guy. Although with the shots, they cry for less than a minute and then its done. He weighs 24 1/2 lbs and I didn't catch his length. He was screaming because he had to lay on the table for nurse Melissa to measure him. Shane and I agreed today he is starting to look more like a little boy than a baby. He is attempting to walk more and can definitely take a few steps at a time. He still prefers to crawl though and is still not crawling with his left hand since his fall from the slide last Friday. Dr. Glaze suggested Motrin several times a day to alleviate any pain and see if he will begin to use it. If not he will order more xrays next week. He has a mouth full of teeth. He pretty much eats fruits and breads. He will eat fish sticks and chicken nuggets and chicken fries but those are his only proteins right now. Still on soy milk and we are seeing the same dairy allergies Nathan has. His word list is expanding rapidly, he will try to repeat many of the words we say, unless of course, we ask him. He is our first to go to bed at night and usually the first to rise in the mornings. He loves his big brother and grins from ear to ear saying "Naa Naa" anytime Nathan is near. I hope as they grow older they keep that same excitement and love for each other!
