18 months...

Ben & Jack were officially 18 months (aka 1 year 6 mos. or 1.5 years) on August 10. Although we kept them out on their first day of nursery because of some rather greenish nasal discharge (aka snot), they did have some fun on a hike at Edwin Warner Park on Saturday. This was their first hike without riding in backpacks, walking on their own four feet, which they absolutely loved, of course. If you look closely at the photos below, you can see just how much these boys LOVE to play IN the dirt. And, for posterity's sake (and for curious grandma's), I present the stats:

Name: Ben
Age: 18 months
Height: 32 inches (39%)
Weight: 26 lbs. 4 oz. (57%)
Head Circumference: 48 cm (57%)
Some of Ben's favorite things: eating food, drinking juice, throwing or kicking a ball, running around with his brothers, playing at the park, "wrastlin'" with his dad/brothers, reading stories with mom/dad, jumping on mom/dad/brothers, coloring, racing toy cars on the race track, doing whatever the big kids are doing!

Name: Jack
Age: 18 months
Height: 32 inches (39%)
Weight: 26 lbs. 7 oz. (62%)
Head Circumference: 48 cm (57%)
Some of Jack's favorite things: eating food, drinking juice, throwing or kicking a ball, running around with his brothers, playing at the park, "wrastlin'" with his dad/brothers, reading stories with mom/dad, jumping on mom/dad/brothers, taking baths, doing whatever the big kids are doing!

Note that Jack and Ben's Heads are the same circumference, which may not mean much to anyone else, but considering the plagiachephaly and subsequent helmet therapy that Jack endured, I'm very pleased to see those stats!
