18 Months!

Will had his 18-month check-up on Friday. I'm happy to report that he's a healthy boy. He's in the 90th percentile for weight still but his height is up to 75% so I'm definitely thinking linebacker or tight end as opposed to wide receiver. Okay, back to reality. He's healthy and was a good boy during the doctor's appt except for a brief meltdown when I wouldn't let him empty out one of the drawers containing medical equipment.

This weekend Glenn was hunting so Will and I and Aunt Vicky visited the Lee Martinez Farm in Fort Collins. For those of you northern Co and southern Wyo residents, if you haven't been yet - I really recommend a visit. It's a pretty little farm right smack dab in the middle of Fort C. Lots of original farm buildings, educational stuff for the kiddos and animals to pat and feed. Stay away from the calf - more on that later when I get the pictures back from Vicky. Click here for their website. Here's my attempt at being artistic with a picture of Will walking through the leaves. He actually got almost all the way to the green gate before he turned around to see where the rest of us were. He's Mr. Independent and if he only had a driver's license, he'd have no use for parents at all. Disclaimer: I took this picture while we were stopped at a stoplight, not while the car was actually moving. I just wanted to get that out of the way so that I won't get any hysterical phone calls from the grandparents. This illustrates how Will likes to ride in the car lately. It makes me feel even more like a chauffer. Relaxed huh? He fell asleep about 15 seconds after this picture was taken.
Finally, I bought this outfit a few weeks ago in anticipation for the Broncos season. So far, it's been our lucky charm. I tried several times on Sunday to get a good picture but Mr. Busy won't sit still so I finally snapped this one as he was attempting to water the plants. One thing to point out to all you moms out there - clearly Glenn changed his diaper last because the onesie top is unbuttoned and hanging out over his pants. Close enough!

It is good to know that someone else has a big little boy! Maybe I'm biased, but I think the bigger little ones are much cuter!
