Friends, Careers and Growing Up

Colby officially has his first best friend. Although it's not a conventional friendship and not always reciprocated...Colby is infatuated with Torreys. He gives her hugs and kisses all the time and loves to play fetch with her or just chill on the floor. I admit I'm a smidgen jealous b/c Colby has thus far refused to give Mommy a kiss...but they are pretty cute together.

Looks like we have a future CPA on our hands. He's mastered the 10-key and I've started to teach him a little tax law. ;)

Our "baby" had his 18 month appointment last weekend. He's now 33 inches (70th percentile) and 24 lbs. Despite being on an eating strike for the last couple months, he bumped up from the 20th to the 30th percentile in weight!

He's developing great, and while he doesn't have a whole lot of (understandable) words...he did more than double his vocab b/w 15 and 18 months, which is all the pediatrition wanted. Colby loves to talk and babbles all day long and I have a feeling his words are going to take off during the next couple months.

His newest thing is counting...he walks around saying "one, two, THREE" when he throws Torreys' ball, points to things in his books, jumps off the step, etc. It comes out "do, doo, DA", but we know what he means. ;)
