Growing up fast! (Colton's be-lated updates)

It's been way too long since I've updated the blog on Colton.  He is growing up so fast and changing all the time.  I decided I needed to get on the ball before he's 18 and going on a mission and I forgot what he was like as a toddler!  Haha.  Today Colton is 19 months old!  It's crazy how much he has grown and learned since he was born.  Last month was his 18 month check up.  Here are his stats!

18 Month Stats:

Head Circumference: 48.2cm   (61st percentile)
Height: 32 1/2 inches (54th percentile)
Weight: 24 lbs 13 oz (35th percentile)

Colton hates going to the doctor.  He cries and clings to me the whole time.  Even when the appointment is for me and he just has to sit in his stroller and eat snacks, he just cries and cries.  It's pretty sad.  Something about nurses or scrubs or something but make him think he's gonna get shots or something cause he is not a happy camper at the doctor. 

Colton is a super picky eater and I always worry that he isn't eating enough.  He likes fruits, pb sandwiches, SOMETIMES meat and cheese sandwiches, muffins, cereal, yogurt, crackers, and macaroni and cheese.  That's pretty much it.  He hates veggies, eggs, beans, rice, meats, and pretty much every meal I make.  It's very frustrating!  He's been getting a little better lately.  Last night he ate a few bites of spaghetti all on his own!  I was so proud!

He is becoming such a little chatter lately.  He loves when daddy calls and he can just chat nonsense to him on the phone.  Every time we ask him if he wants a snack or to watch show (things he likes), he'll say, "Yeah, alright."  Whenever Jon or I leave the room he'll start yelling, "Mama (or dada) where are you?"  This gets pretty embarrassing when one of us has to leave to go to the bathroom or something during sacrament meeting!  He also has started disciplining himself lately.  If he does something he's not supposed to or something on accident he'll say, "Uh oh.  No, No!"  Basically, he's pretty adorable :)  He still loves balls and throwing anything he can around.  He loves cars, trains, climbing on anything and everything, and "helping" mommy sweep and mop the floor.  We love our little Colton and can't believe he's growing up so fast!
