Our Lil' Peanut!
Dallin turned 18 months on Sunday. He entered nursery looking way too little to be in there, but never even looked back! With the other two boys I could not wait for them to go to nursery. :) But I am not sure how I feel about "my baby" being in nursery. Nursery is for toddlers... and I am not quite ready to accept the fact that he might actually be one! It might have to do with the fact that he is littler than the rest of the kids his age- which makes him just appear to be younger... or it might be because there is a very real possibility that he is our last... and I am just not ready to let go yet? Probably a bit of both!
Today Dallin had his 18 month well child check up and immunizations. He received three shots like a champ. He cried for a second, but once I picked him up he was fine. (Connor could take some lessons from his baby brother on that.)
Dallin's 18 month stats:
weight: 23 lbs. .... 11%
length: 30.5 in. .... 5%
head: 48.75 cm .... 75%
Dallin really is our little guy! Thus far Connor seems to be average, Eli tall, and Dallin tiny. Up to this point Dallin has been our late bloomer with all his mile stones so maybe his growth spurt will follow suit? Regardless, we could not love him more!
Dallin is starting to say a couple words. Namely "Mama", "Dad-deez" (Daddy), "dank you" (thank you), and "Uh-oh". He will occasionally say "deez" (please), but usually is too stubborn and just grunts and points and screams until he gets what he wants. :) He will also say "yeah" to just about any question you ask him. I am pretty sure he has no idea what he is agreeing too, but it is nice to have a such an accommodating child for once! ;) I also hear an occasional "my" (mine) shouted out when Eli is trying to rip a toy from his hands. There is still a lots of jabber... which I always adore.
Dallin loves to play peek-a-boo (very cute), spit (not so cute), and dogs.
Dallin has been my pickiest eater by far out of my kids, but never has a problem eating sweets. Go figure. :)
Dallin is a screamer and a screecher. I am almost to the point where I don't notice it anymore at home... but suddenly realize how bad it is when we are in sacrament meeting! :) Which brings me to another tidbit about Dallin... he does not hold still! He refuses to sit for any length of time and loves to climb!
I think he is just about perfect! :)

I also think he is perfect, the cute guy!!! I love the pic by the way. I know exactly how you feel about your youngest one growing up and you not being able to let go yet. I am right there with my "baby" who is three years old and I still want him to stay that little, because who knows if he will be the last one.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable, charming, handsome 18 month old! Dallin did so well in Nursery on Sunday. He was excited to sit in the chairs and eat his snack. However, he followed the bad example of Caroline and stood on his chair! I quickly got him down and told him to sit on his pockets, and he did! He did not complain or cry for a second. I think I will pack some red licorice for our snack this Sunday (he he he).
ReplyDeleteCaroline is our last baby. Saying goodbye to the child bearing years is so difficult. I am here for you when you want to cry or reminisce over these most precious, heavenly "baby" years....over red licorice!
He is so cute! Give him a kiss for me!
ReplyDeleteHe is such a handsome little guy. This age is so much fun, because they are still so small, yet they are trying to be big boys. I love it. I know what you mean about wanting to keep them little, especially with this being your last. But, there are tons of fun times ahead. We have 3 more weeks until nursery!!!! I can't believe it. I've never had a kid go to nursery without me being pregnant...it feels GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm feeling extra teary today. Or maybe it's just that "100 Years" is playing while I read about your baby growing up. He's fantastic. Congrats on your adorable boy(s). I hope I get to meet them someday.
ReplyDeleteSo dashingly handsome! But of course, so are all of your boys. :)
