Where did the time go?? Rocco is officially 18 months. Half-way to 2!!!! Break my heart!!!
On Thursday, he had his official well-baby check and his stats are
Head = 90th percentile (in other words, big)
Height = 34 inches 90th percentile (in other words, tall)
Weight = 27 lbs 6 ozs 70th percentile (in other words, just 4 pounds shy of Jillian, JEEZ!)
The doc said he is the model of an active, healthy baby boy!!!
At 18 months, Rocco likes to get into EVERYTHING and TEAR IT DOWN!!!! Very different than my sweet Jilli at 18 months.
He is my champion eater and will eat just about anything I put in front of him. He is not picky. He will eat fruits and veggies and meats.
He sleeps consistently from 7 to 7 in his new room!!! Naps this summer have been a little off because of the move and the new room but he usually naps from an hour to two hours.
With the new house, we have conquered stairs! He will climb them and slide down but he would much rather you carry him.
I have not cut his hair even though I get all kids of comments. But I absolutely ADORE his blond curls and I am not ready to say good-bye yet!!! I am ready to accept whatever comments come our way!!!
He is very sensitive!!! If you tell him no about anything, this is what he does.....
That's right. He throws himself on the ground and cries. It doesn't matter how gentle you say the "no" he doesn't like hearing it!!!Rocco understands everything you say and will do most of what you ask him. He will point to all of his body parts correctly. He will point to lots of animals in books correctly. BUT he will not say a word. With Jillian, it was the opposite. We couldn't shut her up! She was saying all the body parts and saying all of the animals and the animals sounds.
He can say Mama (but this means either me, Grammie or Poppy),
Dada (which means only Daddy - go figure)
bapple (for apple)
On occasion, he has said - up, clock, more, gog (dog), and cac (cat) and this cracks me up but he can say caffle (which means cold Eggo waffle which he and Jillian love - GROSS!!!)
Doc said not to worry. With the combo of boy and 2nd child and Jillian's motor mouth, Rocco's speech will eventually catch up!!!
He really is a joy and a happy kid!! This is his serious face!
Ok, Mama, I'll give you a smile!
Please stop taking pictures and take me to play in Poppy's truck!!! This is his all-time favorite activity!!!
He is such an adorable little rascal!!

Do not, and I will repeat it DO NOT cut Rocco's hair. It is too cute and he can really only pull off the the "long" hair now. If it is getting into his eyes then maybe trim his bangs, but do not touch his curls.
I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!
He's just so cute! Isn't it great how "mama" means 100 different things. Aidan uses it for "more" meaning "feed me". Btw, he is all about toothbrushes. Thanks Rocco baby!
Sorry it says my name is NLJC Katy Chapter. I think I fixed it. :)
It is my experience too that the second one talks later...the big sibling usually speaks for them. I still have to tell Beck to let Briggs answer when he is asked a question.
:-) Rocco is a cutie.
