I am 16 months old today!


The words I say often are...uh-oh, OK, tickle, duck, ball, truck, cat, dog and up! The words I say sometimes are bear, Mama, Dada, no, grapes (my favorite food), hello, stop and book. However, I talk all the time in my very own language, but I get a lot of uh huhs, oh reallys and a few ya don't says. I speak with such conviction, since what I have to say is very important...even a year ago... yes, here I was in January last year...
Other interesting things I like to do, that milestone charts say I won't be doing till I am older are: climbing! stacking - EVERYTHING, I use a fork and spoon, I use a phone and a brush and comb, I take my own coat off, I only take one nap a day, I like riding my moveable toys, I feed my Mommy, Daddy and anyone else who will let me, I dance to music, I throw a ball, I take toys apart and put them back together (the right way), and I 'read' books talking (pretending I am reading them myself). I run, go up and down stairs (using the bum-rest method...which I taught myself), I can point to a picture when asked where it is, like the bunny or the dog or the cat; along with bringing items when asked "bring me the truck, the car, etc" - and am I proud of myself when I do! Finally, I looove playing with other kids. I can't wait to learn other things...Have a fun day!

Forever Young, Bob Dylan

May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young.
