You are reading that correctly, Mr. J is
18 MONTHS OLD!
I mean, I know they say, "time flies when you are having fun" but man, time sure does fly when you have a child! Some months seem to drag on while others seem to go by in a blink of an eye!
To be perfectly honest, the last three months have been a complete blur to all of us here in the Hansen Household. Holidays, moving, sickness, you name it... pregnancy... geesh.. Oh well, we certainly are having fun along the way and little Mr. Man is getting SO BIG!
We had Jameson's 18 month appointment on Monday late morning. (thank goodness it wasn't until 11:30 because J and I were stuck in Mankato Sunday evening due to the ice storm... more to come on that later)
Naturally he went into crazy mode the second we entered the doctor's office (poor guy) so that was a "fun treat" for a mommy that was starting to feel the flu coming on. Oh well... We were able to get all his required measurements so here are his latest stats:

Clothing Size: 18 months along with some 24 months
What's new with Mr. J?
Well, well, well... Where to begin. Mr. Man is RUNNING all over the place. He has mastered not only walking, but yes running. He has also become king of climbing stairs (let me tell you... STRESSFUL!) I have to say, he is getting pretty good, but we've had a couple spills and heart attacks... haha (heart attack for mommy that is)
Talking... Well, that one on the other hand is not one of our "mastered" skills just yet. In fact, J will be meeting with a speech pathologist here within the next week. I actually feel he is doing OK, but probably not up to 18 month standards. He is certainly trying, but he definitely knows how to get what he wants without having to say anything (can you say tantrums!)
**His favorite word is Gampa!**
Eating... Oh man... That has to be our #1 stresser in life right now. I can officially say we have one of the pickiest eaters... And we also have PROOF of that. We (well Luke and J - I was god-awful sick yesterday) met with a pediatric dietitian and she agreed that we have one heck-of a picky eater on our hands. Needless to say, we are working VERY hard each and every day to expand our cracker/applesauce/fruit loop diet, but it's certainly a struggle. Jameson actually has a texture issue (again, something we found out yesterday...) so they are going to have him meet with an occupational therapist to try to overcome the texture issue and hopefully improve our eating skills.
On a positive note.....
We have one HAPPY little boy! He may not want to eat much or say much, but he sure LOVES to play, wrestle with daddy, be outside (not so easy right now) read books (probably his favorite thing), watch Elmo and just be around mommy and daddy. Not to mention he has one heart-melting smile (and dimples). He is also learning there is a baby in mommy's tummy and (most of the time) will point to my tummy when you ask where the baby is.
Our little man is growing up SO QUICKLY!!!!! I can't believe he is already 18 months old.
He brings so much joy to our lives and makes each and every day special!
We love you J!
Learning to eat with a spoon...
MESSY!
J LOVES bath time!
Swimming with Nana and Gpa
He LOVES the water!
