Chandler Update {20 months}

Measurements:

-I weighed him on our home scale, which I'm sure varies from the doctor but he weighed 23.4 lbs. We think he has hit a growth spurt even though the scale doesn't reflect it (either that or he just has a tiny baby sister that makes him seem huge)!

-pants: 12 month or 12-18 month

-still taking a morning nap most days unless we are busy running errands or working outside with daddy 10:30am-12pm and 2:30pm-4:30pm 

-sleeps at night from 8:00pm-8:00am 

Eating: 
-you never know about your eating, one day you like it and the next you don't
-we try to offer you some of everything we are having (unless its too spicy or something) so you can try lots of different foods
