16 Months

I am 16 Months old! What am I up to these days? Still in size 3 diapers, 12-18 mo clothes and 3.5 shoes. My hair is getting longer and thicker. I don't keep barrettes in my hair and I don't sit very still for my Mommy to put my ponys in - so if you see my hair looking pretty silly - that's why! :)
If you are looking for Spunk - you've found it! I got it! I have a mind of my own and am not afraid to express when I disagree with you. I am also very sweet and loving though. I like to give hugs and snuggle before I go to sleep and when I wake up. I blow LOTS of kisses and wave a lot too!
I'm saying a lot of words. I will repeat (or try) just about anything and I do a ton of animal sounds. Mommy and Daddy tried to get me on video, but I know so many the video was too long to post. We'll try a shortened version some other time :)
Me and Grant having smoothies - I love drinking from straws.
"CHEEEEEEESE"

"Say aaaaa Daddy" I LOVE my Daddy. I get SOOOO excited when he gets home from work and sometimes I even cry when he leaves. He's the best!

No new teeth to report as of now, but I'm pretty sure there are some about to break through. I've been a bit cranky and have been limiting my diet to applesauce, yogurt, fruit and cheese lately - that's a pretty good sign for teeth.

What else is new for me? Well - I love playing outside. I like walks and running with Mommy, love the park, love the zoo (but I don't like to stay in the stroller there - you can't see the animals with all those bushes in the way), LOVE the sandbox - I sit right in it. I'm very in to putting things in and out of other things. Like the little foam bathtub fishies...in and out of the jar container they came in, the plastic keys, comb, phone and lipstick in and out of the Elmo purse I got from my cousins, etc...it keeps me busy for a long time. I also really like dishes - play dishes, cups, silverware, tupperware containers. I will take them in and out of bags, drawers, stack them, pull them apart...it is lots of fun!

AND of course by now you've heard about my leg. So far I have a stress fracture on my left fibula that is just healing on its own - no cast or anything. Mommy and Daddy think I am limping on it more though as of today. SO - we may be back to the dr tomorrow...fun stuff!
