Growing up is fun to do...

Here are Denali's stats for his 18th month checkup.
Weight 23lbs 13oz=42%
Height 33.75in=85%
Head 18.75in=55%

He is growing up so big. I have really ENJOYED this age. He is so fun to play with. He loves being outside and like his dad he has no cold monitor. We have to go in with tears most of the time when mom starts to freeze. Denali loves to take baths and he will now stick his face in the water. All the fun and funny things he does makes me smile and laugh every day. Riding in the laundry basket is one of the best things ever. He can now climb into the laundry basket all by himself.

**Denali jabers all day long but every once in a while he will just say something. The first time it happen I was having a bad day in the bathroom, he came in and as plain as plain says, "you ok mom" I looked at him and said, "Yes" then he walked out and said, "ok". The other shocking thing about that is he hates me throwing up. It scares him and he will just stand there and scream. He did the same thing to my mom when we were at her house. He was talking to her then out of the blue said, "Grandma". There have been a few nights that after Greg puts him to bed and says, "love you" Denali will say, "Love you too dad."

There are a lot of thing that we are starting to teach him. How to fold his arms during prayers (will get a picture soon) he now knows that when he wants to eat he fold his arms. He gets upset if we are not paying attention to him. We have start to put him in time out for hitting. (It is the only thing that words if I spank him he laughs and things it is a game).
