SIXTEEN MONTHS ALREADY?!
I can't even process that.
[[Partly because you still look like a baby and are still wearing your size 6-9 month clothes]]
But yes, you are a GROWING boy these days!
"Little Man" is the best way to describe you now.

U P D A T E S
you and your sister both just had checkups this week and dr t was so impressed with you! she couldn't believe how active you were and how strong your vocabulary and talking skills were. You are quite the chatterbox these days and you were talking to EVERYONE at the doctors office when we were there!
& you did not even CRY during your shots.
your dad and me both were shocked because you just kinda squeeled, then hopped up like nothing had even happened to you after. You didn't even want the "feel better bottle" after the shots were done.
BIG.BOY.STATUS.

BIG.BOY.STATUS.
Here are your most recent stats:
-weight: 20.032 lbs [8%]
this cracks me up because I was SO HAPPY to hear you finally hit 20 lbs, and I made sure the nurse put EVERY ounce on there that you weighed. Haha!
But yes, you gained less than a whole pound in the four months since your last checkup!
(& the 10 ounces you gained, included the 7 ounce bottle you drank on your way there!)

-height: 30.5 inches [12%]
head: 46.7 cm [39%]
you are quite a young MAN these days!
- you try to buckle your own carseat straps in now
-you run and sit down on the couch when you see us grab your shoes, and then stick your feet up one by one for us to put your shoes and socks on
-you want to put the shoes on by yourself sometimes, but it's still a bit tricky for you ;)
-you point to everything you want and grunt when you REALLY want it known that you are pointing at something you want right then.
-you are a c h a t t e r b o x
talking nonstop all day long. you hold conversations and you really do listen to us when we talk to you, and respond in ways that make me think you understand everything we're saying. & you have the facial expressions and tones down perfectly too.
-you mimick us - whether we say funny words to you or make faces - you pick right up on it and try and do or say the same thing just like we did.
-you are h i l a r i o u s ! totally our kid because you CRACK yourself up and anytime someone says something or laughs - you BUST UP in a loud laughter, making all things so much funnier than normal in our house!
-you know a ton of words now and seem to learn a new one everyday (also apart of the mimicking I think)
your favorite words are still: didter {sister}, mamaaa, dada, boddul {bottle}, bubble, nigh nigh {night night}, niiiiiii {nice}, no ball {when you throw your ball and can't reach or find it you say that} & new ones everyday come up now!
- you love playing with hair now - you twirl your hair sometimes by yourself, but you love to play with my hair when your tired or cuddling.
-yes, you a SUPER cuddle bug lately & I am soaking it ALLLLL up.
-you don't eat a SPECK of baby food anymore. you're 100% a big boy in that sense. you still have some baby snacks we're clearing out, but you actually eat normal snacks now, not the gerber baby snacks at all anymore.
-you LOVE your sister more than anything. You are always wanting to play with her or lay by her or just be near her.
-you're also a bit jealous again of your sister - not in a mean way though - but now if i'm taking a picture of her you'll run over and lay down right in front of my face or the camera so I also talk to you. It's pretty funny and cracks your dad & me up everytime.
-apart of your "mimicking" also is mimicking our actions - so now you clean the house like we do and it's the CUTEST thing to watch!
for instance - when dad vaccums, you take your popper around the house and vaccum JUST like him, going over all the areas and spots he does right after him. I was disinfecting the house the other day and had to give you a spray bottle (w/ water) and rag because you cried until you got to do it too. So you sprayed water and wiped up whatever place I did.
-you also have a "peephole" now at the door. (not really though haha) but you've seen me look outside enough through the peephole that now, EVERY TIME grizzly barks or you hear something outside - you instantly run over and look "outside" the door like you're looking through a peephole - even though there's no such thing where you're looking.
BEST THING EVER. never fails to make us laugh!
- you love to clean as much as your dad does (he has a bit of ocd w/ cleaning - NOT that I mind at all! but the guy never sits down) and neither do you! anytime your toys are all out, you run around picking them up and putting themin your box. If your hands get dirty you know how to mimick "washing your hands" and you run over to us doing it so we know you want to wash your hands to be washed in the sink.
-you hate almost all meats: deli meats, beef, chicken, fish, pork, hot dogs - you name it, you just are not a fan of meats at all yet. you love fruits, pastas, PANCAKES AND EGGS and everything else - but if there's meat in or near it, you just pick it out and set it aside.
-you are always on the move now! carts, carseats & strollers are not are friend after aboutttt 20 minutes. you just want to get out and run free.
-which lead us to you learning how to hold hands this month! obviously this is important since you have to be on your own walking at all times ;)
-you LOVE playing catch & with your basketball hoop - and you are REALLY good at both!
we play basketball with you or catch or some activity every night before bed and just in the last couple weeks you have turned into a litle allstar!
you make every hoop you throw and you can catch & throw like a champ now! you got a great arm on you also! sports are definitely in the future for you and we're super stoked for when that all starts!
-even though you are a clean freak, you are also 100% a boy. you love to get dirty and play hard. you now get little scratches and bruises from playing outside or with your toys so rough - now when we give you baths I realize how much you aren't a "baby" anymore - but a full on B O Y by all the little bumps & bruises you get from playing.
-you also are a daredevil. you are determined to give me a heart attack, I swear. you are constantly climbing no couches or trying to climb onto tables and jump off, or trying to slam doors & drawers in random rooms and as bad as it sounds, I feel like we are living with someone on suicie watch because there's no other way to put just how on HIGH ALERT we have to be with you at all times. take my eyes off you for two seconds and you've found a new place to jump off or climb up. it's exhausting!
-with that, we did get one of your baby gates this month! not by choice, but just the acceptance that you climbing over it and knocking it over everytime you wanted - sorta defeatd the point. so now you have a whole new side of the house that is open to play and run around {and newly baby-proofed as well!}
Like I said - you're a little MAN now! It's unbelievable. Everyday hour that passes you are seriously picking up something new or doing something we've never seen you do before. Whether it's a new word, new laugh, new tone of voice when you're talking, new trick you learned, new way to play with the same toy you've had forever - it's always something new with you and we are loving it all so much. You are SO smart and SO funny and I love that you KNOW just how funny you are too! LOL, anytime we laugh - you bust up laughing at us, laughing at you! It's the best.
I can't even explain how much fun you are right now. Everyone always said how much fun boys are when they're older and you are 100% proof of that. As exhausting as it is running around chasing you, saving you from the 302912029320 hazzards you manage to find hiding in our house, or chasing you nonstop playing - you are the funnest little guy! You have such a fun and loving spirit about you and you manage to play hard all day like a big kid, but want to snuggle at night like a baby; it's so awesome.
Even though you're not growing a TON in size right now - you are still changing everyday and growing up more & more with each days passing. Your dad's newest joke is that your the first kid he's ever seen to wear OUT your baby clothes - because you play so hard now, but aren't growing into your bigger sizes, so you actually are wearing OUT your baby clothes. A shopping trip is in our near future, not for bigger clothes {we have tons of those packed for you} - but just for more 6-9 month clothes! LOL!
