16 Months Old!

Age: 16 months

Stats: 30 lbs 

Clothes: Bottoms: 18-24 months   Tops: 2T & 3T (depends on the brand)

Shoe Size: 7 Wide

Favorite Foods: Mashed potatoes, chicken nuggets, snapea crisps, avocado, milk, bread, bananas, pears, & yogurt.

Allergies: Citrus - he breaks out with HORRIBLE diaper rash that stays for weeks!  

{Bad Mama Moment}: Two weekends ago we were at Cherry Creek Catfish chowing down on to die for catfish (literally!) and without thinking I gave Caleb two sips of my very lemony water.  I could have kicked myself that night when the diaper rash started and we were wracking our brains to try and figure out what he ate!   He was a trooper though -- even when I had to bust out the cornstarch and milk of magnesia to tame the burn -- poor baby.  Luckily for me (and him) it didn't last near as long as the first few bouts.    

Favorite Words: My (Mine), Ma (More), & Nack (Snack).

Favorite Songs: Silent Night, Bringing Home A Baby Bumble Bee, The Ants Go Marching, & Choo Choo.

Favorite Activities: "Helping" unload the dishwasher, bath time, magnets on the fridge/dishwasher, walks to get the mail, swinging, playing with his pee pee during diaper changes, when Dada throws him into the air, playing in the garden/dirt, turning lights on and off,  hiding and playing peek-a-boo, sharing toilet paper, slamming doors closed, & playing with window blinds when they are closed. 

He sleeps great!  I'm currently trying to wean him from his nighttime bottle -- it needs to be gone before he's 17 months.. I'm a procrastinator.  But in all honesty he's currently cutting 8 teeth and some days he eats better than others so I don't want to put him to bed starving from not eating well at dinner due to his teeth hurting.  I know.. I'm a sucker -- I swear it's written on my forehead in glow-in-the-dark ink.

He knows where his nose, eyes, toes, fingers, feet, hands, tongue, hair, belly button, and mouth are.. total genius!!

This is our favorite age so far [minus the tantrums that he throws in the most non-convenient places ie. Walmart]!

{he LOVES headbands}

Dislikes: Coming inside while someone is still outside, stopping at red lights/or stopping period while in the car, putting clothes on, taking shoes off, diaper changes, gum bubbles, wiping his face clean, the car seat, & the word "No."
