16 months!

My little buddy is 16 months today!  He is turning into such a little man, sometimes it seems like he is older than he is!  He has developed quite a personality, he really keeps us on our toes. 

He is saying a lot of words now.  Some of his new ones are:

-          Stuck

-          Truck

-          Elmo (Who he calls Melmo.  He gets so excited when the theme song from Sesame Street is on)

-          Waffle

-          Yum yum (He “cooks” us food on his kitchen and carries it around to each of us saying yum, yum)

-          Papa

-          Teeth (he LOVES to brush his teeth)

-          Shoes

-          Up

-          Out 

       Bubbles (he loves washing his hands with soap!)

       Knock knock 

He nods his head yes when I ask him questions.  It is so funny because it is so exaggerated.

He is recently into dinosaurs.  There is a trailer for a new movie and he is just memorized when it comes on.

He still doesn’t sleep through the night.  Ugh.  But comes in our bed every morning around 4 a.m. and snuggles so close our faces touch.  I get woken up with kisses on my lips which makes me forget all about the fact I was up 3 times that night :)

We have a climber!  We can’t keep him off the kitchen chairs and he is always hoisting his leg up onto the coffee table

Emmy is his idol.  He follows her everywhere and copies everything she does.  And she does the same thing!  Yesterday she was home sick but we took Ryan so she could rest.  Around noon, she asked when school was over because she wanted to see brother. So sweet.

He loves to sweep the floor and goes nuts over the broom

All of our Christmas tree decorations are at the top of the tree because he keeps picking them off.

He LOVES to dance and sing.  Any time he hears music, he starts bouncing with a little grin on his face.  He knows all the hand movements for itsy bitsy spider (his favorite), twinkle twinkle little star and row, row your boat.

The kid has so much hair we’ve been getting it cut almost monthly!

His first incisor just cut this week and two more are coming any day.  After the incisors come in he will have all of his teeth, including molars.  Kind of a lot for a little guy. 

He hugs and blow kisses to anyone who walks by or says good bye.  Every day when we leave school he has to give each one of his teachers a hug and kiss and blows them all kisses the whole way to the car. 

He is the sweetest little guy ever. 

Kisses for Emmy!
