Only a month behind!

Caleb,
Mommy is a little late on your 16 month milestones!  We will do a little back-tracking so that everyone can remember ALL of the things you were doing at 16 months!

Such a hard worker!

Words you love to say:
"Ga-gee" is the new word for your blankie and you LOVE it more than ever!
"Pa-peee" (papi, a.k.a pacifier)
"Mou" (mouth)
"No" (nose)
"Eye"
"E-uh" (ear)
"ow-er" (flower)
"bu-bu" (bubbles)
"pu-peeee" (puppy)
"sishy" (fishy)

Stats: 21lbs. 12.4oz./ 31"

Animal sounds you've added to the mix:
"cack-cack" (quack-quack for a duck)
"ssss" (for a snake)

-You absolutely love to watch Praise Baby!  We introduced it to you a few months ago.  You will see the DVD and start saying "ba-byyyy".  You will point out a lot of the different objects and name them.

Enamored by Praise Baby!

Praise Baby time!

-You have started hitting when you are unhappy.  We are working on that situation.  Usually, if I point my finger and tap your face and say "No hit", you get your feelings hurt.  But, I am starting to see a little bit of strong-will in you like your older brother.
-You sleep 12-13 hours a night.  Bedtime is at 7:30pm for you.  You take about a 2 hour nap.  You still like to take 2 naps if our daily schedule allows it.
-You love your ocean sound projector machine.  You love to go in your bedroom, shut the door, turn off all the lights, and watch the "sishy" on the screen.  You also are intrigued by your shadow!
-You have found an even greater love for books.  You will walk into your room,  grab a book, and bring it to us to read to you.

-Sometimes if I can't find you in the house, you will be playing all by yourself in the playroom.  You love to play with toys and they will keep your attention much longer than they ever did your brother.

-You have mastered walking and can even run a little bit.  You are slightly pigeon-toed and do best with your shoes on.
-You still LOVE food.  I think you would eat constantly if we let you.  You really don't have a "no" section, except for vegetables.  You love all kinds of fruit!
-I gave you your very first haircut!  Your sweet curls had started to hit your shoulders.  I kept the curls, of course, just shaped it up a little.

It tickled a bit!

You love your big brother!
