Koen's 18-mo stats

I also had a visit with the doc last week and here are my stats:
Weight: 23lbs (10-25%)
Height: 33 in (75-90%)
Head: 19.25in (75%)
 I have finally decided that walking is fun and now I choose to do it without being encouraged :-)  I love to carry things around with me as a tour the house - but throwing, rolling, and dropping balls is still my favorite activity.

 I'm getting along well with my big bro and I'm always trying to get into whatever he's doing with him and his friends - I like to be with the big kids!
I'm also developing quite a stubborn streak and am letting my opinions be known - I don't really have any words yet so this is a common face right now when I'm unhappy...
I am obsessed with stairs and love crawling up and down them - but throwing/pushing/rolling things down them is just as fun!

Noah's 4 yr old stats

I went to the doctor last week for my 4 yr checkup and all is well - I've grown a lot over the past year!
Height: 41.25 inches (75%)
Weight: 36.5 lbs (50%)

Here are a few recent pictures of me and my little bro.  I've enjoyed playing with him a lot more lately now that he's getting older.  He gets a kick out of me and my friends and wants to be with the big boys.

I am loving my first year of preschool and have made some great friends.  I take gymnastics, soccer, and basketball once per week with my two best friends from school and am having tons of fun!  I also go to Awana (Christian kids club) at our church on Wednesday nights and my regular class on Sunday mornings.  As you can see, I've become a lot more social over the past year :-)

Here's a list of my current favorite things:
FOODS: Pancakes, yogurt & granola, bread & butter, hot dogs, american cheese
MOVIES/TV SHOWS: Mater's Tall Tales, How to Train Your Dragon, Dora the Explorer & Go Diego Go
BOOKS: Anything!
GAMES: Husker Du, Busytown, Candyland

I also love doing mazes, any kind of art project, and rough-housing with Dad.  Mom and Dad say I'm a thoughtful, sweet, energetic boy and continue to come up with new things to say that make them laugh every day!
