He went to his 18 month checkup yesterday. He was 26 lbs, which is the 50th percentile for boys and he was 33 inches tall, which is the 70th percentile.
Jacob still loves to go outside and gets very upset whenever he doesn't get to. He is a very sweet, happy, calm boy most of the time. However, he is our little pincher, when I pick him up from potential trouble, he usually gets upset and pinches. So, I have learned to pick him up from behind so he will only pinch my arm instead of my face! He is becoming a little bully to Emma when he doesn't get his way, he hits, pushes, and pinches. Not sure where he got this behavior, but I think it's partly because he's a boy? We are working hard on correcting it though!
He loves his little stuffed monkey and gets so excited when he finds it around the house. He absolutely loves to give hugs and kisses to everyone. He surprises me everyday with how much he understands. He can do simple things asked of him, like putting his shoes away in the closet or finding the ball. And he loves cleaning and picking up, if only it could stay that way forever!
We are working on getting rid of the pacifier. He is not as attached to it now as he was at the beginning of the summer, we are making progress! He only has it for his afternoon nap now. He is pacifier free for the rest of the day most of the time, even at night.
Unfortunately we have lost our camera charger, so no pictures have been taken lately. Hopefully we will be able to buy another one soon.
