Big boy - Potty Training and Booster Seat

Simon is suddenly a big boy. This past week we started both potty training and retired the high chair for a booster seat. He loves sitting at the table and he is getting used to the potty - sitting on it and the concepts. By far the best part of potty training so far is flushing the toilet.

18 Month Doctor Well Visit

Simon was 18 months old in mid December and we went on December 17th to the doctor for his well visit and to ge his booster vaccine. To no ones disappointment it was a trifle too early for his vaccine booster so he didn't have any shots. The doctor said Simon was doing great in all departments! That being able to communicate that he has/will go to the bathroom is a sign that he's ready to start potty training and that she didn't need to see him agan until he was 2.

Here are his specs as of the visit:
Height: 32 inches (37%)
Weight: 22 lbs 4oz (25%)
Head: 46.7 cm (32%)

PS We went back to doc today for a mommy piece of mind checkup and he's all good. They weighed him again and he's already 23lbs 4oz. One pound in a month!

Purple

I walked downstairs today and Simon was sitting at the table eating his breakfast. He turned to look at me, pointed, and said 'Purple'. I am wearing a purple shirt. That kid is so smart.

First Snowball

We had a White Christmas this year so after he opened some presents that morning, Simon went out to the backyard to try out his new boots in the fresh snow.  He had a lot of fun eating the snow, and throwing (and getting hit by) snowballs.
