Dylan is 18 months

Dylan is officially 18 months although we went for his 18 month check-up last Thursday. He screamed the entire time and the doctor said 18 months was the hardest age to exam kids because they are at their peak anxiety levels. Well when Dylan got home he slept for 3 hours and then was back to his normal self. His 18 month stats are below:

Weight - 24 lbs, 6 oz which is 25-50 pecentile
Height - 34 inches which is 90 percentile
Head - 19.5 inches which is 90-95 percentile

Dylan is full of energy these days and loves to go play outside, mainly pushing his train around, blowing bubbles, picking flowers or sliding. We have been trying to arrange activities to keep him busy since most of the time he is home all day. We have temporarily haulted going to Gymboree because of the flu threat but hope to take him there again soon.

Yesterday we took him to the zoo for the 1st time. The Houston zoo was much nicer than I thought it would be. Dylan enjoyed seeing the giraffes, elephants, ducks, flamingos and monkeys. Most of the other animals were just laying around - lions, bears, tigers, etc. so he was not too impressed with those. We plan to go back soon and ride the train.
