Stockton at 18 Months

Stockton is growing like a weed! He's not stocky any more, he is tall and skinny! We took him for his 18 month check up and he weighs 23 lbs (13 percentile) and is 32.28 inches long (47 percentile!!!!!!!!) He nearly doubled his percentile in height from 12 months! I can't believe it!

He is so much fun and keeps us laughing all the time.

He loves to pretend to talk on the phone. The other day he was having a conversation with Elmo, Bob the Builder, and Goliath (from Liken the Scriptures.) These are his favorite characters from shows he likes to watch.


We have this owl that sits out on our deck to scare away pigeons. Stockton likes him, so I brought him inside one day. I look over and this is what I found. It's so typical of Stockton. He loves to share his food with mommy, daddy, and now the owl. (We'll mention the owl in the video below.)


Stockton loves to read books. He would read them all day long. He loves to point out the objects in the books and make noises like the object/animal. His favorite book is an Elmo book that he picked out by himself. He also likes to pick books out at the library. Last time he picked out a car book and about 3 animal books.

Stockton's favorite foods include macaroni and cheese, ham, fruit snacks, broccoli, grapes, chips, cookies, and crackers.

Stockton's favorite things to do is play with cars/trucks, read books, color, watch shows, "help"mommy fold laundry, go on bike rides in the bike trailer, play with Uncle Jordan, and look at Anna (his cousin) on the computer.

Some of the words he says most often are cai (car), a-pe (airplane), hele-caw-caw (helecopter), bu-bye, hi, mama, dada, moi (more), Anna (his cousin), Bock (Brock, his other cousin), Elmo, Bob, Ay-ay-ath (Goliath), wa wa (water), bub-bos (bubbles), nigh-nigh, all done, all gone, and lately... pa-ke (pumpkin.)

He loves to say animals sounds and point out parts on his body, which you will see in the video below. It is kinda long, but super cute. It pretty much sums up Stockton at this age.
