18 month old trapped in a 3 year olds body....







Evan had his 18 month check up today and got an A+ bill of health from his doctor - well, except the sleeping part.
We all got a D in that department - spared an F for our efforts, as we are all trying very hard to sleep!
18 month update: Height 50%, Weight 10% (doctor says that's great - not underweight - not overweight).
Evan knows all of the letters of the alphabet, can point them all out when asked and can verbalize most of them clearly.
He also knows his numbers from 1 - 10, can point them all out when asked, and can say some of them clearly.
Evan can "read" a few words - he recognizes the words baby, mommy, mum mum, evan, dog, apple, star and more.
He can say about 30 words and has been stringing some words together.
Evan has started to write also - he can draw letters and numbers best of all. Not all of them, but quite a few.
Doctor Christina says Evan is a 3-4 year old trapped in an 18 month old's body!
In addition to his appetite for learning, Evan has been enjoying gymnastics class and climbing all over our furniture.
Here are some recent pics - mostly from our recent trip to Mt. Baker.
We are exhausted but totally in love with our smart, amazing, funny, loving, beautiful boy...
