Grant at 18 months (update & pic)

16 years ago

So my not so little baby (anymore) turned 18 months old this last Saturday. Boo Hoo! He had his 18 month check up yesterday and is doing great. He says about 30 words and new ones pop up every day. He is 27lbs (60%) and 35" tall (98%). His doctor said he's the height of an average 30 month old. Crazy!! Everyone always thinks he's older than he is because of his height.

He's an incredibly happy little guy, is stubborn as heck, loves to goof off and be chased and is very mommy-clingy!!! :-)

Here's a pic I took this morning.

Hi Andrew, I fertilize my fruit trees with 2-10-10. The first number Nitrogen (N) gives you growth, the second number Phosphorous (P) encourages blooms, and the third number potassium (K) promotes root growth. I don't want my trees getting big so I keep them potted and feed them a low nitrogen fertilizer. I also use Ironite to provide the missing micro nutrients such as Zinc and others. Not only do I put the Ironite granules in the ground I also mix a batch and spray the entire tree with it. You can find both items at Lowes. Sunniland Bloom Special Fertilizer 2-10-10 Item #: 97809 : Model #: 120146 5 lbs $5.00 Ironite Mineral Supplement 1-0-1 Item #: 237903 : Model #: 2149601502 40 lbs $19.00

These stories are terrific. I'm so enjoying them & am glad you're sending them to the forum, not only to keep us abreast and for our entertainment, but so you've got a record with fresh details of your journey. All the little events that make the ride so special would be lost down the memory hole if you'd tried to recall them after the trip. Life is more colorful in Louisiana, isn't it? People there will interact with total strangers -- it's great. I'm praying for good weather & safety for y'all.

He'll always be a cutie, no matter what the height/weight/percentiles/etc. (How many teeth now?)

I keep saying he looks so much older all the time....must be the height! Is Brent tall? He's so cute! What a handsome little guy!

He is a cute lil guy!

Don't pay much attention to all the percentiles. DD was at 98% in her height too and the doctor kept saying she was going to be really tall. Well today at 18 she is 7 inches shorter than me and stands at 5'3"!

He is precious and must be very smart, also. My little granddaughter is 18 months old. Unless we just don't understand what she is saying, I don't think she says 30 words yet. She does a lot of jabbering and I have a feeling she will be a talker when she gets bigger. Her mom is a talker and my son is a man of few words... maybe it'll balance out. lol
What size shoe does he wear? Ava wears a 4 1/2 or 5. Her feet are BIG. She hates to wear shoes.

Grant has 16 teeth right now. He wears a size 6 1/2-7 shoe. He has big fat feet. It's hard to get shoes on him because of how fat his feet are.

That's funny about his feet.....I remember when you had pictures of his feet on his birth announcement.

My kids all had big feet, too. Inherited them from their Dad....my DH wears a size 16 shoe!

Have enjoyed watching him grow......

Big Feet means he is probably going to grow into his feet. My Son did. He is 6' 2". My GS has big feet too.

You may have a basketball star there. LOL!

Cutie! He does look older then 18mon (which still is baby to me) His face seems more "mature" or something?

Do you think you might send him to a pre-school this fall? Next year? The 2 classes are limited around here, so Olivia stayed home with me, but in Sept she'll go two days a week! I'd say it would be a nice break except I'll have a newborn then!

Olivia has BIG feet! She turned 3 in Nov and she wears a 10 or 10 1/2. Most of her friends that wear that size are a full year older. Oh well, she'll really tall too, so that plays into it.

Teresa, I hadn't planned on sending him to preschool until he was 3 but it now kinda depends on what happens with pregnancy. If I'm pregnant now and it ends up being twins, I'll probably send him earlier. Just for a couple days a week for a few hours a day, not too long. But it would help me out so I'm just going to wait and see what happens.

He's such a cute toddler. Hard to believe he'll be 2 in a few short months. My DS also had big feet from birth. The first thing the dr. said when he was born was that both his hands & feet were big for a newborn & he was gonna be tall. He was right - he's about 6'2" today.

He's one handsome little man Steph. Thrilled to hear he's doing so well and right on target. Where does his height come from? Is Brent tall?

My daughters were always over the percentiles for height and weight. They are now lovely young ladies of 18 and 19. The time just went by like a flash. Enjoy Grant as much as you can. And keep posting photos. I love Grant!

One of my friends is going through IVF right now. One heartbreaking failed attempt; I hope this time is the charm.

Steph, Grant is so handsome and I love it when you post his smiling face. My Great Nephew Joey is one month older and isn't walking unaided yet. They grow up so fast though don't they?

I was just catching up on posts from last week and read your Mom's post how you had to be rushed to the hospital. My heart was in my mouth reading it. I was glad to read your updates that you are doing okay but I am sure you were quite scared.

So how are Jenni's " grandchillins" coming along? Any baby news yet?
