18 month check up

Yep, I guess that means the little terror, I mean sweet baby is 1 1/2 years old now.  WOW, I can not believe how time flies.  Seems like yesterday...  Had his 18 month check up and he is tall and thin with a melon head!  :-)  Love his bog ole noggin!  56th% in weight, 74th% in height and his melon head is a whopping 99th%.  No wonder the 24 month shirts are hard to get over his head but fit once on!  His gross and fine motor skill were at the top of the bracket as well as problem solving.  His communications however were quite low.  Actually he scored a 20 and needed at least a 25 at the lowest.  But, the only place he is lacking in the area is speech.  He currently only says 3 words. Mama, Dada and Uh oh.  I promise I talk to him ALL the time!  We have been referred to a speech therapist and for an audiology consult.  I am not worried.  I KNOW he is not deaf and I really think that he has serious control issues and will talk when he is damn well ready but....I would hate to miss something so...off we go to get it all checked out.  On top of having his little boy parts checked out again in April.  That issue is still there and now it is a communicating hydrocele that has not absorbed the fluid so my best guess...surgery.  Ahhhhhhh!!!  However I am thanking God that it is not more serious.  So, Mason is a mess!  He is into everything.  Understands so much that we tell him.  Throws his diapers in the trash.  Loves balls just like Sully did.  Loves being outside.  Thinks going to the bus stop is the best!  Loves electronics like a child of the 2000's and absolutely squeals with delight when he talks to his daddy.  He still hates his bed.  However now loves the gym.  Only takes a paci at night now, loves to brush his teeth, is stingy with kisses and thinks his brother is the coolest.  He is getting more and more social as he gets older and gets more cuddly every day.  He loves cheese, bananas and bubbles.  He still looks so much like his daddy and reminds me everyday of Sullivan as a baby.  He is getting curls in the back of his head and he loves to dance. I adore him.  He makes us laugh every single day!  I can not wait for Mike to see him when he is home.  I hate he will miss the terrible two's.  And here is my little stinker! He loves to make crazy faces at the camera, wish I had a recent one of him doing that!  This kid is a trip.
