At his 18 month check up he weighed 24 pounds even (25th percentile), was 32.8 inches tall (50th - 75th percentile), and his head was 19 inches around (50th - 75th percentile).
It has been hard without Matt around, but Zach keeps me pretty busy. We have gone to San Diego with my sister and her family (where Zach fell in love with Elmo!), gone to the zoo a couple of times, and gone to a pumpkin patch. We also got out Zach's bike and got him a helmet to try to learn how to ride. He is so excited about that!
As for updates on Zach: he is potty trained except for when he is sleeping! He has his top I teeth now, so we are just waiting for the bottom two to come in and then hopefully will have a break from teething for a while. He is a very fun little guy who loves to go on walks around the neighborhood (most of the time we have to stop at the park!). He loves watching or playing any kind of sports; is still ambidextrous, but seems to be favoring his left hand and foot a bit more; can use utensils at the table; is starting to throw the tantrums on the floor with the kicking and screaming (yippee!); loves Elmo and constantly asks to watch him on the TV; and surprises me everyday at how much he knows and picks up on!
Here is a montage of videos. It is less than a minute, and very cute. The first clip is of him pushing the gas pedal of his Thomas the Train, the second is very poor quality (from my cell phone!) of him bouncing down the 'hot dog' at My Gym with Nana's assistance, the third one is also from my cell phone of him clapping during a 'Pet's Rule' show at Sea World, the forth one is of him and Mama playing catch, and the last one is of him riding his bike! Enjoy!!
