One Messy 18 month Old!

I can't hardly believe it but Charlie is 18 months old and he is one messy and crazy little boy. These days he is all over the place climbing anything and everything that he can and pulling out anything and everything he can find. He is chatting up a storm, dancing all over the place and exploring his boundaries. I will have to say that I love this age so much there really is nothing better then when your child comes running at you, arms wide open and saying mommy!

Last Friday we took Charlie to see Dr. Joe for his 18 month checkup. Our little guy did so great and Dr. Joe could hardly believe how much he has grown in the last 6 months. The only issue we came across was that the tube in his right ear is looking as though it is coming out. Both Josh and I are hoping that when it does fall out we will not have to have it replaced. At his check up he had to get two shots, we decided to postpone his 2 vaccines and get the seasonal flu and he h1n1 shots instead. Dr Joe decided that was the best thing to do and that we would just wait a month and he would come in and get the 2 vaccines he missed. No real biggie it just means that Charlie will have to get shots again in just a few weeks. Below are Charlie's stats from his 18 month check up.
