18 months and getting so big!

Morning! I am 18 months!
....well he is getting big by the things he is doing and saying, but he has actually not gained any weight since he was 10 months old, just getting taller. Cole is SO much fun!! I love this age. He is busy and keeps me going, but he is so sweet and just curious about everything. I love to watch him and wonder what is going on in that little head of his? :) He is Mr. Independent for sure. He wants to try everything and do it all by himself and as long as it is not dangerous I usually let him try. Like eating yogurt, our new favorite! He was wants his own spoon and he wants to do it himself, he does not want mommy to feed him. So of course he makes a mess, but they are clothes and tables so we can wash them both. He loves it!
The words keep coming! He has really just taken off with his vocabulary. He has about 25-30 words that he says almost daily, but he will attempt to repeat of words here hears. Like this morning he woke up with...MINE! I guess that officially makes him a toddler :)
We went for Cole's 18 month well visit (Monday, Oct 15th) and in Dr. Mishu's words he is "perfect". He did gain a few ounces so I think he has made it to a full pound heavier since he was 10 months, 28.2. He only grew a 1/4 of an inch (he is right at 34 inches). I didn't really think he had grown very much, which makes his 2T clothes a little big for fall :) Dr. Mishu said that he acts more like a 26 month old with his development. She said next he would be saying more two words. Right now he says Oh no, I'm ok, whats it? and Uh oh. Cole was charming (waving and saying hi and bye and blowing kisses) Dr. Mishu at the appointment and letting her check him without any complaints, she was very impressed. He was not a fan of his tetanus and flu shot though, but the tears only lasted about 30 seconds.
