He is 34.5" tall and weighs 28 lbs! Doc said he is off the charts for height and around 97% for weight... that's my boy!
Developmentally he is pretty much on track... everything but the talking... which is weird because talking was never a problem for me (wink wink)! The doc wasn't too concerned yet but noted that he would be paying close attention to what words he can say at his 18 month appointment. So far "Uh oh" is the only word he uses with precision... and he says it often ;~) I am really not worried about this but I have been trying to prompt him to say certain words more... mama, dada, hi, doggie, juice, ect.
Otherwise he is doing well! He knows about 8 signs which definitely help his frustration levels. One of the best signs I taught him was 'help'... he uses that sign with frequency! He can follow directions... you know, if he wants to ;~) He gives huggins, kisses, waves hi and bye. He is still extremely clingy but there are signs that he is opening up a little. He will walk toward and give huggins to grandma and grandpa if I ask him to... which is a small accomplishment but I will take what I can get ;~)
All in all, my little boy is growing up!

Wow Chase sounds way too much like Tyler. I know others have probably told you, but sign language may delay the actual spoken word. Not a bad thing, but I'm surprised your Dr. didn't say anything about that? Tyler only says ball and bye. I'm glad you are not worrying. Tyler is also still very clingy...but only really freaks out the first 5 minutes I leave (so they tell me?). You know the cry that forgets to breathe? and you have to say breathe, breathe. Tyler is probably off the charts too both height and weight. I'll let you know next month.
I have heard that but I don't buy into it. who's to say he isn't just a late talker... there is really no way to test the theory anyway. imo, the sign language is more of a help than a hinderance. I wish chase would settle after 5 minutes... he will cry the entire time I am gone ;( he won't even let grandma or grandpa hold him... even if I am right there... and we live with them! he sees them several times a day! it's going to take some work!
He sounds just perfect. Lots of toddlers his age have the separation anxiety issues. I bet in 3 more months, he'll be over that as well.
Frodo was the same way.....the talking comes around
Wow, Chase is growing so fast! What a big boy. Adam missed playing with his buddy last week. Hopefully we will see you tomorrow.
Good news :) I think you're going to have to get his hairs cut soon, though, Jess! lol
