Milestones and needles

Today, Cooper had his 18 month doctor’s visit.  18 months!!! My goodness. If it weren’t in his closet, I’d be flipping through his baby scrap book right now wondering where the last year and half went trying to remember all those moments that are now memories.

His visit was good aside from the needles of course. The tricky part about this age is that they remember those needles. As soon as he saw the nurse coming with the tray he looked at me with these great big fearful eyes as if to say “mommy, no please.”  He’s 30.5lbs and 33.5″ tall. Yes, he’s going to be huge. 

My boy, growing up too fast but at the same time I can’t wait to see him grow more.  Every day I see something else in him. Another side, another quality and it amazes me that I have been given the gift to raise him.
