He's 18!

Months that is, but still!  Last Sunday Dane went to Nursery for the first time at church and he was a pro; now it's to be seen if he'll remain so.

(Just a funny pic)

At his 18 month check-up he weighed in at 21.3 lbs and 30 inches high.  Yes, he's still small (3%), but what he lacks in stature he makes up for in intellect :P 

(I'm not really the bragging type, but this would be a pretty short post if I didn't do a little bragging.)

Dane is still the cutest little boy ever!  He's so smart and is constantly surprising us with stuff we didn't even know he knew.   He relishes every opportunity he gets to play outside and loves his daily walks to the mailbox with daddy.  His favorite book is Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?  His favorite song is Itsy Bitsy Spider.  His favorite things to watch are home videos of himself (he points to the computer and says "baby" - which means he wants to watch videos of himself).  His favorite words are "outside" and "let's go."  His favorite toys are a football, a phone (there are several objects that can become phones), and a wooden stick that switches between being a baseball bat and a horse.  His favorite foods are cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, grapes, and any kind of sugary treat :S.  His best new trick (according to mommy) is putting garbage in the trash can when asked to; (according to daddy) he can work the iPad and get to what he wants; and (according to himself) climbing the back of the couch to stand on the counter.

Here's a video of recent pictures and videos.  I have more that I may or may not get around to posting.  Enjoy!
