Sixteen Months!

Katelyn, you are 16 months old today! You are such a sweet addition to our family. You make us laugh daily. Sometimes I catch myself just sitting and staring at you. I just love to watch you learn and see your many different expressions. Here's a little about you these days:

You have started walking more and more without having to be encouraged. Although you still crawl if you want to go fast, and you still walk on your knees quite a bit too.

You can stand up (without pulling up) but you don't realize it yet. But on the fireplace, you "pull up" on the 3" ledge, so I'm pretty sure you could do it on the floor if you tried.

You are also trying to talk more. I can't make out much of it, but you say the same sounds for the same thing often. Here's what I've got: mama (mama, anything you want), dada, baba (brother, baby, paci, and shoe), yucky, uh oh, yum, diaper, woof woof, ooh ooh ah ah (monkey ), mmm ba (meow), grrr (bear, lion), baaaaaaa (sheep), and out (as in outside).

You are still making all sorts of messes. And your favorite is still the bathroom cabinets.

You love to throw tantrums. And you would prefer if mommy would just hold you all the time.
You LOVE your blankie.

When you hear music, you either clap your hands, slap your knees, or bang on the floor as if it was a drum.

You are STILL taking that bedtime bottle (by no fault of your own by any means).

You love to sleep.

You love when daddy comes home from work.

You love play doh and crayons.
You love pizza with ranch dressing and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

You have 12 teeth, but all 4 of those sharp pointy ones are well on their way.

You love to hand mommy a book and climb into my lap. LOVE it!

Happy 16 months Katelyn!
