18 Months

June 27th

Keegan is 19 months old but we just had his 18 month well baby check up today. He weighed 23 lbs and 6oz and was 32 3/8 inches long. That puts him in about the 25th percentile. His head is 49 1/4cm which is the 95 percentile. He will either be a late bloomer or Dr. Auth said there is a small possibility that the all steroids his sweet little body has had to ingest with his asthma, may have stunted his growth a little. He really is the sweetest little boy. Pretty much always happy and he learns really quick. He watches Aiden and learns what to do and what not to do.  He still pushes boundaries but he doesn't like to be disciplined so he will stop just short of getting in trouble. He's not big on cuddling which makes it all the better when he actually wants to. He yells at the top of his lungs when he sees someone he loves. Be it Mommy or Daddy or Aiden, Mammy, Ga, G or Jess. He is a very happy little man.  He is currently in a clingy phase but that is very common for his age. He prefers Mommy and next Daddy but as long as he is with one of us he is pretty easy. He is fascinated with his older brother and wants to be everywhere he is, but doesn't want Aiden touching him unless he touches Aiden first. He demands attention by either yelling your name or holding your face in between his hands. He has a contagious smile and a laugh that will have you holding your sides. He has the best little personality and his big brother his his biggest fan he is by far his favorite person on earth. They do fight, but in the end they are the best of friends. Aiden is always so proud to introduce his little brother "Keena"
