18 month check up was awesome. Of course my skinny little boy only gained one pound putting him at a whopping... 20 pounds! And he grew another inch as well. Talk about tall and skinny!
In other news... this just in... my son is in fact a prodigy. His vocabulary is now at 60+ words. To which our doctors said, "WHAT?!" The average, apparently, for children his age, including the ever superior girls, is 4-10 words. 4-10! What the crap?!
I'm not sure where he gets his averages. But here is what I found:

So, from just what I can find on these websites the range is anywhere from 4- 50 words. Who knows!
I'm sticking to my original assumption.... Gideon is a genius.
