Clayton turned 1.5 years old on the 14th of March. Before his appointment, we took him to the Health Dept where he received 3 shots. He knew what was going to happen the minute we walked in the room...smart little thing.
At the doctors office, he weighed in at almost 24 pounds and is 31 inches long. He is in the 75% for his height and 25% for his weight. This is definately one of the funnest stages. He is starting to be more independent. With the weather starting to warm up, I just leave the back door ajar so he can go in and out as he pleases. He loves to run around in the grass and explore the garden with Yoda.

WE have a big variety, but he always chooses Frosted Wheat's. I cut them in half, pour milk on them and the Clayton devours them. He usually puts his spoon down and drinks the milk out of the bowl. He then says, while holding his bowl up, "mo, mo".
Clayton is starting to eat a lot more. He loves cheese enchiladas and black beans. The other day, I made fresh salsa and after trying to use a chip a few times, he decided to pick up a spoon and start shoveling the salsa in his mouth. He wasn't going to waste any time!
The doctor says that Clayton should be saying at least 10 words right now. Well, he can't say 10 words yet, but he is starting to mimic me. Right now, he says: Mom, More, Ball, Bird, Pop, and Yoda. As we read books together, he tries to repeat what I say. Its cute to listen to him try to copy me.
Clayton is really into balls, tractors and trucks right now. He likes to try to play basketball in our basement. He also squeals in the car when he sees a truck or tractor on the road. It's such a great stage because he is starting to notice the birds and airplanes in the air and dogs and cats walking down the street. He is very animated when he sees one of these things.
Things Clayton loves to do at 18 months old:
* loves to climb on chairs, couches, tables, and even tall, tall ladders
I bought a bunch of the individual yogurts last week and so everyday, Clayton likes to climb on the bottom step of the fridge and reach up to get a yogurt. He is funny because if I don't' sit in the same room as him while he is eating, he will pick up his yogurt or cereal and come find me.
