Luke's 18 Month Stats

This morning we headed to the pediatrician for Luke's well check. I made the mistake of giving the kids apple juice before the appointment and they were bouncing off the walls in the waiting room. We resorted to singing songs with hand motions. I have a singing voice that usually I don't broadcast, so you can feel confident that I was at the bottom of my barrel for activities!

Here are his measurements:

34 inches in length (90 %)

29 lbs. 6 oz. (85 %)

I am thankful he is doing well and the doctor heard no heart murmur this time! Allergies continue to plague us. The past few days I have given him goldfish and they seem to have made him spotted. :) He doesn't appear to be in pain, though. Also, I ate popcorn Friday night and I fear that I may have a corn allergy or some form of sensitivity, too. It might have to do with cutting it out of my diet for so long, but I have been in pain until today.

On a lighter note, I have been amazed at how quickly Luke's language development has progressed. I love the fact that he communicates so well with me. One of the biggest joys is his acquisition of the word "happy." I am not sure where or when he learned it, but if you can't tell by the smile on his face, he will remind you that he is "Happy."

I just wanted to encourage all you moms that have children with allergies to persevere! I know that it is difficult, but I trust they will find a place of happiness and peace (and their parents will reap that reward as well!).
