Sixteen Months Old

So, my little boy, you’re sixteen months old, and we love you, love you, love you! You are so funny right now, and you make us smile all the time! You smile for us very easily as well, and we’re so thankful that you’re so happy!You’re sixteen month birthday was also Father’s Day, so we went on the boat for a couple hours with the Thomas’ to celebrate! This was your first time out this year, and you did a pretty good job! You tolerated the life jacket better than I thought you would, and-as is typical-you wanted to explore everything! You helped daddy drive the boat, and you honked the horn a time or two!You still love to be outside, but with these southern summer days, we’ve had to be choosy about when we brave the heat. Being on the lake was no exception, so we tried to keep you entertained in the shade as much as we could-a snack of goldfish, and mission accomplished!You’re really talking a lot, and we love all your new words! You still know what you’re saying more than we do, but it’s been so neat to figure out what you mean, and we’re catching on more and more each day! This month you did pick up “no way” from day school, so we’re working on that, but we’re also working on your manners-you can say please, and it’s the cutest thing! You’re other new words are cookie, cracker, water, happy, and amen, and some favorites are still uh-oh, wow, mamma, dada, night night, bye bye, glasses, and ball.

 

During your fifteenth month, we also announced that you’re going to be a big brother! We could not be more excited that our family is growing and that you will have a sibling! We can’t wait to watch you teach him/her everything you know!We love you more than words can say, sweet boy! You are our heart, and you make us so proud! We love you!
