Me O My, John you are growing up way too fast but I guess it is just part of life!
You are 16 months old today!
I love that you are finally showing others your super cute personality and are coming out of your shyness shell.
What have you been up to in the last month:
You are wearing 12-18 month clothes but some 18 months are super big on your little bottom so we have started to buy you smaller bottoms than tops.
It seems like you have been wearing size 3 diapers forever but it is one of the largest weight ranges in diaper world. I think after we finish this last box of diapers you will be moving up to a size 4.
We just bought you a new pair of sandals since your last pair became too tight all of a sudden. At the Stride Rite store you measured a 4.5 extra wide but we normally have to go up a half size since your feet are actually wider than their shoes come. These shoes are pretty much the only shoes that fit your chunky little feet and they aren't cheap but worth it.
Eating: You defiantly have your favorite foods like oranges, bread, cheese, yogurt, apples, grapes, blueberries, tomatoes, and there are some more but you get the point.
You eat all the time but it is mostly grazing...welcome to the toddler years, you would rather be playing.
Normally you eat breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and then an evening snack.
You still do not like juice or cows milk. As your doctor says, "you are drinking the greatest milk of all." So you love mommies goodness but you will also drink down ice cold water too.
Sleeping: You take two good naps during the day one in the morning and then the afternoon. They vary in length depending on how the morning nap goes, your afternoon nap is about 2 hours. So mommy gets everything done in those 2 hours because when you wake up we are playing and learning! At night you are sleeping from about 9pm to 5am when you want a little drink and some cuddling, then you are back to sleep until about 7am. Your morning nap happens around 9:30-10 am and last about 45 minutes or more.
Now for all the fun things you have been doing:
Words: You are currently saying:
ball
belly
bowl
shoe
eye
Animal sounds: moo, meow, woof, quack, neigh
Body parts: nose, eye, belly, hair, toes
You love it when mommy sings all the nursery rhyme and you make funny faces when she sings one you are not too familiar with.
Dancing is something you do constantly but it is mostly conducting and sometime a little booty shake.
You are into everything that isn't nailed down! So you keep us on our toes and always wondering what you are going to do next.
We still spend our days reading and you are starting to look through books while talking about what is in the pictures. It is the cutest thing.
You are getting better at following simple commands and starting to participate in picking up all your toys.
I am pretty sure that I have left out somethings that you have done this month but sometimes it is hard to remember everything since you are always doing something.
It is hard to believe that you are already 16 months old but you are getting to such a fun age! Mommy is having so much fun playing cars, blocks, and pushing you around in your car. Your laughter is the sweetest and your little voice just melts my heart. I know that one day soon you are going to be talking in two word utterances but for now we are having fun introducing you to new words but everything seems to be a neigh or ball. I love you monkey and I know you are going to some great things in the next month!
I will post pictures later of our big 16 month old!
