This is what happens...

| ...when we don't remember to keep the bathroom doors closed at our house. |

| And this is the culprit. |
Sigh.
As you know, there is no one on Earth who loves this peanut more than his momma, but I'll tell you one thing, month 18 has shown us his true colors. :)
Full. Blown. Mess.
It's a good thing he's cute.
Because Mother Bear is tIrEd at the end of the day. very! All of a sudden we have a non stop little guy on our hands.
And that's really the biggest news for this month---along with the fact that bubba has also started saying alot more words lately.
Last week I decided that we needed to cut the morning nap, as much as he still liked it some days, and as much as I looved it some days, it had to be done. He was starting to wake up TOO early in the morn.
We also went to the Dr. for his checkup. Clark had to get two shots. He was doing great, and the main things we talked about were his allergies and that annoying eczema creeping back out again.
height: 32 1/2 inches
Doc predicts he'll be in the 6' 1" range. Sorry, bubba, Momma brought you down a little from your daddy's measurement! :)
weight: 31.1 lbs
Lastly, I am loving seeing Clarky grow and change at this age. He really is leaving his babyhood (waaaaah!) and becoming a rough and rowdy little boy. I had a "moment" as we were leaving his checkup last week. AM came along, and as we were walking out, I realized that I wasn't holding a carrier, I wasn't holding a baby, instead I had two kids walking behind me and following right along on their own.
wow.
I saw them grow. Just like that before my very eyes!
How blessed we are!

First of all, thanks for posting this. I didn't remember I needed to schedule an 18 month appointment for Griffy. I'll be calling today!
And like you, I can't believe how these baby days have vanished. I love the image of your little chicks following behind you. Sweet blessings!
Oh, Clarky, happy half birthday! We love you bunches.
I know exactly what you mean about being exhausted at the end of the day! I feel like Blake literally doesn't stop until naptime or bedtime. I see girls his age sitting and reading books, but NO WAY, not this one! Boys are nonstop.
By the way, Great game Monday night!
no way. we are not closer to 2 than 1 :(. gah!! i hear ya on the full-blown mess!! luckily your mess is VERY cute :). and i'm like kimberly...your post reminded me that i need to schedule our 18-mo appts!! xoxo
Oh my stars....that boy just melts me. He is so precious and I wish I were there to watch him grow up like I did AM! When are you moving back? :-) Payton is 100% mess as well, so I feel your pain. She NEVER slows down and is into EVERYTHING! I didn't have that with my other two, so I am feeling a bit overwhelmed! Happy 18mo to Clarky!
ahhh, i just got weepy reading that!!! it's so true...ahhh, you blink and that baby stage is gone!!! i am beginning to grieve the loss of my "baby" too. :( especially my 5 year old babe. :)
