Lucas is 18 months

This is incredibly late, but we were waiting for his doctor to come back from maternity leave before we did his 18 month well visit.

He weighed in at 27lbs 12.5oz
(was 25lbs 10oz)

and is 32.75 inches tall!
(was 31.5)

He's at the stage where he just looks at you and smiles when you tell him to stop something. Jeremy reminded me that Seth did this too and that I will survive......

He is 200% independent! He doesn't want help eating, he doesn't want to hold your hand while walking, he doesn't you to carry him - just don't touch him. He's got it all under control.

Among animal sounds he can say "woah" "yay" "mama" "dada" "hippo" "sorry" and "hi" - we are working on "all done" "thank you" and "please". 

Most of the time him and Seth are best buds, but sharing and always wanting what the other one has can make life a whiny hot mess sometimes! We are also always copying exactly what big brother does. Sometimes this ends badly. Life is an adventure. The hours are long but the days are fast. Before I know it we'll be planning birthday #2......ahhhh!
