Just kidding. He can't read by himself, but he loves to be read to ("more books" has become his favorite thing to say). He also ask us to read him his favorite books using names he's made up for them, like "Moon" for Goodnight Moon. It's awfully fun to see, though reading Goodnight Moon six or seven times a night can be, well, repetitive.

At his 18 month checkup this week he got a fabulous report. He's up to 33.5 inches tall and weighs 28 lbs. And, as usual, he recovered from his shots in about 5 seconds. Of course, it didn't hurt that the bandaid had Garfield on it, so he was happy to tell the doctor what the cat says!

All in all, we think he's pretty amazing. He's talking and walking and running and laughing and even throwing a tantrum here and there. Pretty much right on for an eighteen-month-old!
