18 months

James had his 18 month appointment this afternoon. No huge surprises-tall, heavy, and big head. What else is new? ;-)

The only thing was that he pitched a fit when the nurse or doctor was in the room. He s-c-r-e-a-m-e-d! I don't know what has gotten in to him. It kind of started when we had a sitter the other night, but I just figured he would cry and be fine. Then last night, my mom, sister and I went out for Restaurant Week. When they walked in the door, I couldn't get that kid off me with a crowbar! I finally got him to go to bed before we left, but he woke up just as Jimmy and I were falling asleep. Then he acted as if I was going to leave him and wouldn't go back to sleep. It took over an hour of "Ferber" to get him back down. Poor guy. Then the doctors office today. I hope this is a short faze. It breaks my heart to see him so frightened.

We're super glad to have a healthy 1 and a half year old. I hope we can figure out how to get him through this anxiety and get him comfortable in strange situations.
