16 months old (yesterday)







We have been busy but Mommy wanted to post an update, better late than never.
I have become pretty picky with eating but I do love lightly toasted plain bagels, broccoli cheddar soup, maple & brown sugar cream of wheat, couscous, sweet potatoes and Yo Baby yogurt. I continue to work on feeding myself and doing a pretty good job.
I know many signs, including: milk, cookie, eat, more, all done, book, please, help, rain, book, night-night, stop, play, bath and up.
I am very into kicking a ball, climbing, running and riding my toys. I do a great job going forward and backwards on my riding toys. I also love to walk down small steps (by stepping down) unassisted. I am very entertained with spinning around in circles until I am too dizzy to stand up. :)
I love to play the "body part" game. I can show you my nose, teeth, tongue, arms, legs, feet, toes, fingers, hair, ears and eyes.
I am very into coloring and working with my shape sorter. I can always successfully get the oval, circle and star.
I know the motions to the itsy-bitsy spider song and will do it as many times as someone will sing it.
As for talking, I can say thank-you, down, out, moo, cheese, shoe, home, No-No-No, uh-oh, yeah, Dada and "Mum" for Mommy and "otter" for water. I do have some words only Mommy & Daddy understand: truck, squirrel, Luey, KoKo and coffee.
I nap once a day from around noon to 2 or 3 o' clock without any protest at all. Actually, at naptime and bedtime (which is 8PM) when Mommy and Daddy say it is time for night-night, I do the sign and head straight upstairs to brush my teeth and read books. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of me. I sleep straight through the night until between 6:30 and 7am. YAY, for everybody.
I continue to enjoy gym class on Wednesday, music on Friday and swimming on Saturday, as well as my playgroups every other Tuesday and most Thursdays.

I guess that is about it for now, we hope everyone had a great weekend!
