LA: 16 Months

At 16 months, you:

 

Blew your 1st kiss on 3/15/14 at Famous Daves to Grandpa and Grandma

Know what a fish says when we point to a picture of one

Stand well on own (with close supervision)

Have stood by yourself for several seconds at a time

Motioned/said "night night"

Roll onto your tummy most nights this past month

LOVES to empty things (drawers, bookshelf, etc), dolls (will now pat/rub/rock/cuddle!)

Will finally use regular sippy cups (not ones you have to suck, though)

Are 100% off the bottle (that is laziness on our part, not yours)

Use objects as a telephone

Are still rear-facing in carseat (until 20#, hopefully shortly)

Still wear size 4 diapers

Are starting to wear Gap 12-18 month clothing

Walk NONSTOP (although not independently), and do well with 1 hand of support

Still pee almost nightly in front of the bath

Are very brave and will figure out how to get anywhere on the couch to get the remote

Fake cough like a champ (proud Mommy right here)

Love to throw food over the right side of your highchair...still

Know where your "honk," piggies, tummy, and head are

Know what a lamb says but not always on cue

Babble "da da" or "daaaady" constantly

Love to pat Mommy's big tummy - you know something is up

Love to read books!
Signs for "milk" on 3/29/14
Holds arms out when I ask where something is like "I don't know?" (3/30/14)
Have started to get a little attitude and let us know when you don't want something

 

Crazy hair girl helping Mommy put away groceries.

And then helping Mommy sort mail. Such a great helper!

You love it when Daddy lets you play in the faucet
before bath. Trying to get your ritual of peeing before
bath out of the way with the diaper ON.

Such a ham in the bath! Your new thing is to grab Daddy's hand and to hand him
a toy one by one so he talks to you in his special voices for each animal. It is
HILARIOUS. I even overheard him saying one night that "that will look great
for the ball tonight." Oh honey, you do so well with girls ;) I teased him about
using the word "ball" for an event. You really never know what he is going to
come up with next!

 We love you, Sweet girl! You are going to be the best big sister!!
