Today was Abraham's 18 month well visit.  Brahm was in a pretty good mood until he had to stand on the scale.  I tried to reassure him that they only add 5lbs to the scale when you are over 21, but he didn't buy it.  He is now 27lbs! He's 60% on the chart, which is higher than he's ever been, he's typically 40-50% in weight.  He's 34 inches tall (85%) and his head is right at 50%, where it's been since he was born.  We are grateful he is such a healthy little boy.  He only had one shot today.  I think he's good to go until he's 4, except for the flu shot each year. 

This afternoon I was craving some cookies, so I went in the pantry and took out a bag of chocolate chips.  Abraham heard the bag, flew around the corner, shouting, "More! More,"  took my hand and directed me to his high chair.  Mr. Brahm wanted to have a snack of chocolate chips!  I found it highly amusing considering he's never had chocolate chips and I've really never make cookies with him.  I shared the cute store with Aunt Emmy and Uncle Glen.   I must call Aunt Emmy a lot, because when I had the phone on speaker and it was ringing, Brahm kept repeating "Emmy, Emmy". 

Well, I did decide to make some yummy chocolate chip cookies. 

Mr. Brahm was a huge help!   And by help, I mean, he had a wonderful time of independent play and did not open the oven and burn himself. 

Besides, everyone knows that the most important helper, in regards to cookies, is the TASTE TESTER!!
