Owen turned 18 months old this week and had his well-child checkup with his new doctor here in Olympia. Good news in that the doctor was very impressed with his development and he's above average in all areas (which we already knew!). His motor skills, comprehension skills and problem solving skills are way ahead of the norm (he was taking her light apart and putting it back together), which we knew because he runs, jumps, climbs and shows his fearlessness in just about everything he does. He also understands almost everything we say, even though he's not vocalizing it yet. He is also ahead of the norm on speech, although I know he's saying fewer words than Colin was at this age. Overall, a great checkup and we're very proud of our big O!
His growth was also impressive. He's 32.5 inches long, which puts him in the 60th percentile. He is 25 pounds, 5 ounces, which puts him in the 40th for weight. He is in the 30th percentile for head size. He used to be more "stocky" before - shorter and weighed more than average - but now he's going the other way and we're happy to see it.
Here are some shots of him sporting his "Real Babies Drink Real Ale" shirt we received from our dear friend Jonathan when Colin was young. I started looking for a picture of Colin wearing the same shirt but instead found some others of Colin at this age I thought I'd share. So you can see how much or how little you think the boys look alike. One this is for sure, Colin had more teeth! Enjoy!
