18 Months Old

What's the deal with the eyes?!  He had been crying previous to this so I guess we're doing good that he would even look at Barry.

The results are in... Nathan has gained 3 pounds (from 21.8 to 24.8) and has grown almost another inch (from 32.9 to 33.7).  He's still in the 25th percentile for his weight and in the 75th for his height.

The doctor wants us to keep track of his communication skills and really "force" (how do you force a child to speak?!) the issue with getting Nathan to talk.  By age 2 he's supposed to be able to speak 40-50 words.  So, if we don't see improvement in the next couple months, we're supposed to check back in with the doctor.

Oh -- on a sad note, the circle of life was demonstrated in our yard last night.  We came home to one of the bunnies dead in the driveway and a hawk hanging out on a nearby tree.  Barry moved it so that we wouldn't see it, but there it was the circle of life.  Hopefully the hawk won't decide that Nathan looks like a yummy treat. :(
