Wow how are you already 16 months old? At times we still feel like you are a little
baby… its easy since you still just have a little bit of baby fuzz hair and
those 2 little baby teeth on the bottom… but then you do something like share
your chocolate milk when we ask you to (actually its usually sissy’s chocolate
milk that you took) or you help me clean up all the books that were left
out. You are very detail oriented and
won’t stop until every book, or crayon, or toy is put away.
Your language is all of a sudden booming.
You have been imitating so many new words and
are starting to use some on your own.
All of them pretty much start with “d” and sound very similar but we can
tell that it is a new word. My favorite is that you are saying mama all the
time now.
Some of your new words are:
banana (duh duh), Max (mah mah) for the show Max and Ruby, thank you (duh doo),
yucky (uht), Grandma (guh guh), occasionally you say sister (dee dah), along
with the words you’ve been using; Daddy (dah dah), that (dat), eat (tuh), toes
(tuh), more (muh), done (clear as can be), down (dow), woof (oof), and roar
(rrrr ) for lions, bears, and any other animal that can possibly growl) and I’m
sure there are other words I’m not thinking of.
At 16 months:
You love to eat! You eat just about everything but you don’t
have a huge sweet tooth. You will leave
a cookie with only one bite out sitting on the table and run to a plate of
peas. You love meatballs, hotdogs, and
chicken nuggets. You eat cheese sticks and yogurt faster than we can keep them
in the house. However, you really don’t
like blueberries and the only way you like strawberries is dipped in
ketchup. We can thank your big sister
for that!
You love your sister… and your daddy.
You will run after both of them before you
come to Mommy most days.
You are so
sweet about sharing with Ashlyn and she is just as sweet to you.
You love to play with baby dolls. They are your favorite toy
by far. You carry them around, push them in the stroller, cover them with
blankies, and feed them over and over.
You really love banging on mommy’s computer and are very
sneaky in trying to find ways to get close to it when it is open.
You can point to lots and lots of body parts and you love to show your tummy. Your favorite game is for mommy or sister to shout "Where's Kinsey's tummy!" and you race to lift your shirt!
You are hilarious. If
we ask “Are you silly?” You do this crazy little shake sticking your tongue out
and being well.. Silly! If we ask “are
you funny?” you laugh. You love to do
silly things like eat your breakfast sitting on the ledge in the fridge, or
practice walking in sisters dress up shoes.
If we try to change your diaper you take off and hide
giggling away. You love to wear shoes
and at times will walk around the house in nothing but a diaper and your little
brown suede shoes.
This by far has been my most favorite age! I love you Kinsey
Sloane!
