18 months

Little Truman celebrated being alive 18 months by attending a well-check at the doc’s. Oh JOY for him! He wasn’t pleased with the 4 shots or the doc poking around. He did enjoy the sucker and long nap afterwards.

We keep thinking that Truman is getting chubby, but his stats would indicate otherwise:

Length: 34″ = 90%
Weight: 23.4 lbs = 10%
Head Circ: 48 cm = 50%

He is a healthy eater and loves his green veggies. I love watching him snarf down a healthy supper. He also loves ‘Tandy’ though.

I planned on trimming Tru’s hair and attempting a nice photo shoot. That wasn’t happenin’ today. He woke up with a huge scratch on his forehead (trimmed nails – Check!). He also has a large healing wound on his chin from a mishap with the rocking chair over Conference weekend. So, here’s cute Tru as his 18-month self. I love the look on his face. It’s a common one. He loves to throw the ball down from the swing set.

This one should be titled, “The Boy On a Mission”. I love the determined look on his face and evident in his body language when running.

Here’s his 4-step mission.
1. Retrieve mini lacrosse stick.
2. Run to garden to dig in the dirt. Realize it’s not working too swell.
3. Run back to get a different tool.
4. Put the lacrosse stick back in the toy box.

Tru will get to experience Nursery on Sunday. I hope he loves it! I’m sure Jimmy hopes so too as he’s the one who has to wander halls for 2 hours while I’m in Primary.

A few notes about Tru:
~ has a great vocabulary. We’re surprised how many words Tru knows. Our other boys haven’t been big talkers. I still think Tru might take after those great orators with the same names… Gerald (my dad) and Truman Madsen.

~ is so cute when he has to say sorry to Max. He gives a huge and sincere hug.

~ loves wearing dish gloves.

~ adores his daddy.

~ It’s an understatement to say he LOVES playing outside.

~ has hazelish-grey eyes

~ likes Super Why!

~ sucks on his tag on his blankie… stinks to high-heaven, but he loves that thing.

We love Truman!
