Cameron's 18-month stats: height: 32 inches (just under 50th percentile); weight: 25.5 pounds (just under 50th percentile); head circumference: 49.5 cm (hanging steady at the 90th percentile).
It was a good check-up (and only one shot!). Cameron is right on track with all his development milestones. The doctor asked, "Does he pretend to talk on the phone?" And I said, "Yes, definitely. He also likes to "talk" on the remote control." (It's pretty cute.) The doctor also asked, "Does he like to clean?" And I emphatically said "Yes! Give the boy a vacuum, dustbuster, broom, whatever, and he's happy!" The sounds he makes to imitate the vacuum are really great too; I wish I had a recording of that to share.
He's not the most verbose of kids just yet, but he is picking up new words every day. The latest have been on, off, ice, bowl, elbow, knee, Cairo (one of our cats), and others, including lots of letters of the alphabet. Cameron was gifted with an alphabet puzzle for his birthday, and though it says it's for ages 3+, he is remarkably good at matching the letters to the pictures underneath, identifying the letters when we ask questions like "where is the B?", and lately, picking up letters and saying "Ennnnn!", "Oooohh!" or "Zeeee!"
He's a really smart kid, and he amazes me every day.
