Bentley at 18 months

Just found this from over a year ago and I never finished it....



Stats: 22.18 pounds (8th percentile)

(Should weigh 26 pounds)

      32.48 inches (56th percentile)

    18.8 inches head circumference 

Will fold his arms for a prayer.  Usually just for a few seconds.  But he always has a smile because he is so proud of himself.

Finally (at 17.5months) will say "more" rather than just grunt or whine when he wants something.  He also says "please" sometimes too.  It is the cutest thing to hear "mo peas" ( more please) 

New words:

Thank you

Brynee (Brynlee but he pronounces it without an "L")

Goes to sleep at 9 pm every night.  After a bath he drinks a bottle, then we sing him a couple of songs and lay him in the crib.   He sometimes cries for a few seconds but then rolls over and goes right to sleep.    I love rocking and holding him in the rocking chair.   He loves it too.   He gets all snuggled up with his head over my left arm and he doesn't squirm all over like Brynlee still does.   I could sit there for hours (but not really).

Bentley wakes up between 730 and 830 am, but most days it is a little before 8.   The first words out of his mouth are "eat" and "juice" every day.   So we go straight to the high chair to eat.

Then Bentley takes a nap at 130 pm and we usually have to wake him up at 5 pm

He continues to love his soft blankies.  He buries his face in it every time he sees it    I have to keep them hidden because he will try and drag it around on the tile floor and it will trip him every time. 

Bentley is very much into exploring -AKA getting into everything! And I mean everything.    I am amazed everyday by the things that he finds or does.   He loves to climb on anything and everything
