18 Months Today

I will not be including any pictures with this post. Little Man has been quite sick the past couple of days. We took him to the doctor yesterday and it turns out that it is strep. Long story short, he hasn't exactly been camera ready lately.
But, I'll go ahead and do a quick update. Not sure on height but they weighed him at the doc's yesterday and he was 21 pounds, 12 ounces. He was supposed to have his well baby appointment on Friday but we had to push that back because of the strep. I'll update height then.
He's starting to talk more and more, repeating things we say more readily. He's said diaper, ball, tractor, push, circle, and more. He's also starting to pick up on the signs that they taught us in his speech therapy. Just the other day, he made the sign for more without any prompting while eating in his high chair. We're happy that his speech therapy seems to be going well and we're excited for him to say more and more.
Not a lot of changes since last month, really. We have been able to get outside a lot more because of the nice weather. We've been taking walks over to the playground here in the neighborhood. He really likes the swings and climbing around on the other equipment. He likes the see-saw, too. The other day we tried out the "big" slide and the look on his face was priceless.
He participated in his first Easter egg hunt this past Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa Fox's house. He caught on pretty quickly and really liked shaking the eggs to hear the sound they made. He picked them up and put them in a bag we had ready for him. We'll celebrate with Grams and Papaw on Easter Day this Sunday. I'm hoping that he'll be feeling much more like himself by then.
