18 months

On Sunday, Gavin turned 18 months old... it's official, we have a year and a half old son.  Gavin had his 18 month old check up Tuesday and it went pretty well.  It seems that he has the height and weight of a 2 year old.  He is 34 inches long (no wonder I had to start buying 24 month pants) and he is 28 pounds (which allows him to start taking Children's medicine versus infant medicine).  Gavin is in the 90th percentile for his height and the 70th percentile for his weight.  His doctor could not get over how "cut" and muscular Gavin looked (she kept saying that over and over).  She also told me to be prepared for him to be much taller than me when he grows up.  All I can say to that, is I hope so!!  He got two shots today and did okay... he did cry, but it was more because I was laying over him to hold him down... he did not want to lay back for the nurse.  Once I picked him up he was fine and quit crying.

**Funny story... all the patient rooms have sinks in them and underneath the sink is a cabinet that stores supplies for the doctors and nurses to use.  When Gavin was about a year old he opened one of the cabinets and found these cups that are used for urine samples.  I remember him playing with one while we were waiting for Dr. Lee to see us and she had him put it away for her because she wanted to see him open, close a door, follow a command, etc.  Well, ever since then, any time we go to the doctors office and we walk into a room, Gavin immediately opens the cabinet and grabs a urine cup to play with.  It's so random and kind of embarrassing, but I can't get over how he knows those are there (we've been 4 times since he turned one).
