Thank you all for the advice! We spend a lot of time outside, learning how to walk in the grass. I am amazed at what is new to him. We also visit the zoo twice a week, take walks, and spend time at the local park. Who needs Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig or a membership to the local gym when you have an over-active 19 month old.

Fifteen pounds in two weeks!
I will try the playdough, and if I am feeling really adventurous I will bring out the finger paints.

I do read to him even though he is busy running into the walls with his eyes closed.

Somehow this is funny to him. My dh and I expect there to be possible educational delays in his future if this behavior continues. LOL

Kidding...he doesn't hurt himself, just falls down and laughes.
This morning I was shocked he actually sat through five pages of a book before he was off to pull the dogs tail. Oh Me.... Told my dh that I want another one as soon as possible. I Love Being a Mother! Thanks again for the advice.
