We started the day by going to Joel's doctor appointment for his 18 month check-up. We found out that Joel weighs 23 pounds and is 31 inches, both of which put him in the 20th percentile. When we brought Joel home he weighed 21 pounds and was in the 75th percentile. Now he has actually lost a few ounces since his 15 months check-up. At least I know why he's been wearing the same jeans for five months and why his shorts still fit from last summer! His ped isn't concerned or anything, it's just interesting how different things are now. Unfortunately Joel had to end the visit with three shots, but he handled them like the brave big boy that he is!
Next came the fun part of the day! We met up with Grandma and some friends at Blackberry Farm, a local pioneer village with wagon rides, a merry-go-round, animals, and an awesome train that circles the area. Joel had a great time!
Joel did enjoy the merry-go-round...despite the look on his face.
These ducklings were adorable!
Joel wasn't too sure about the train. He had this look for the whole ride.
Joel kept his eyes glued to the big tractor pulling the wagon the entire time.

That place looks awesome. LOVE him in that hat. Happy 18 Months. I think little D has slipped a bit in his weight percentiles...not too worried...toddlers are so busy and on the go...I imagine they burn off a lot in a day.

Happy 18 months - can't think of a better place to celebrate than Blackberry Farm! I have Joel's train face when I ride that Merry-go-round, which of course is the boys' favorite and must be ridden 3 times in a row!
