We had Kale's 18 month checkup on Friday. It's funny that everyone that sees him talks about how big he is and no one really ever said that about Dane....their measurements were almost exactly the same.
Kale weighs 27.8 lbs (75th percentile)
Kale's height is 34.5 inches (90-95th percentile)
At the exact same age, Dane came in at 25.6 lbs and 34.25 inches. So far they really have measured almost the same at every checkup.
At 18 months, Kale is definitely trying to show his independence...he doesn't like help eating anymore and he insists on flying up the stairs anytime you turn around. Going up is fine, but coming down he needs help. Sometimes he will actually listen and sit on his butt to go down the stairs but most of the time he wants to conquer them on two feet and so far we've been there so he hasn't taken a tumble. He mimics everything Dane does and thinks that he is big enough to climb on everything Dane climbs on. Thankfully there have been no serious injuries from this. Kale has a funny little personality and loves to make people around him laugh. He loves to dance and ride on their little Lightning McQueen car. He is super speedy on all of those little ride on cars that you push with your feet. He likes puzzles and books and we think he's on the brink of a language explosion! :) He does say between 10 and 15 words and also knows his nose, mouth, eyes and belly. I take full responsibility for him not knowing all that Dane knew at this age, but I just don't have the one on one time I did with Dane. Here is a listing of things Kale likes to say:
- Da (long a, Dane)
- mommy
- daddy
- bappy (paci)
- truck
- hi
- bye
- all di (all done)
- uh oh
- ba (ball)
Aside from that Kale is keeping us on our toes. Dane starts school on Wednesday of this week but that is the only day he goes until next week when he starts his full Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule from 9am to 11:30am. He is ready and excited, but for me it's just another step closer to him being away from me all day long. Why do they have to grow up so fast?
