Westin = 15-18 months

**This was suppose to post last night but I had a computer mouse issue**

Westin,
Today you are 18 months {I just realized I never did a 15 month update} and way too close to 2. At this point in your life you are a precious, curly headed, cotton top who loves to dance and is attached to your blankie kankie!
Right now you weigh a little over 25 lbs which means your weight and height have been running you in the 50th percentile. However, your head circumference percentile is off the charts...ha. You get that honestly! You are still wearing a size 5 diaper and 24 month clothing. When it comes to meal time you are not that great of an eater. You will nibble on a little bit of everything and then you are done. However, you LOVE to snack. You would snack on something all day if I let you. You love Cheerios and Fruit Loops, crackers of all kinds, cookies, chips, and so much more. You aren't really big on fruits and veggies but you love junk.. Thankfully, I can always guarantee you will eat a peanut butter sandwich and a banana so that is my go to meal if needed. You are not very picky, you just have your favorites. Your favorite meal currently is breakfast. You love biscuits and bacon but are not a big scrambled egg fan.
As far as you health goes, until this weekend these past 3 months you have been your best months. We finally met with a pediatric pulmonologist who officially diagnosed you with asthma and put you on 2 inhalers. One you take twice a day everyday and the other you take on an as needed basis. We haven't had any major respiratory issues since you have been on your inhalers. However, you have had a couple of ear infections which leads us to tubes at the end of the month. Hopefully that will make a world of difference.
You are so stinking funny and will go to anyone. We are never surprised to find you sitting in someones lap you barely know. You especially love your grandfathers {all of them} and insist that they all hold you. You are all boy who loves trucks, balls, playing outside, riding on the tractor, and loud noises. You are that kid that grunts and screams with excitement at the sound of an engine revving. You are currently a copy cat. One minute you will copy your sister's dramatic behavior and the next minute you repeat Daddy's ball game shouts.
Your speech has developed so much just recently. Of course you can say Momma, Daddy {which you also call Heath}, and Ava Reese {a-eese}. You can also say a large amount of words such as: cup, ball, truck, bite, cheese, tea, there, eat, Maggie, Joseph, nana/Nana and much more. Your most used phrases: uh oh, get it, all gone. You just recently said 2 sentences: "Where's my cup?" and "I want a bite." They were as plain as day. Of course, Mommy is one who is always worried about speech but I really think you are doing great!
You are loving, rough, demanding, and a fa-nominal sleeper.

Westin, you are 18 months!
