16 months

Sean! You're 16 months old. In two months you'll be half way to two, no way!

- Four teeth, two on top, two on bottom have made their appearance. You have some cranky pants days when we figure you're getting more teeth in.

- You refuse to let me hand feed you food, you must pick it up yourself off your tray. You'll still let me spoon feed you puree food though. You pretty much eat your weight in breakfast food at school. They'll often call to tell me how much you've eaten! It's fun (sometimes frustrating) finding out what you will eat. You like ham and broccoli, bread, chunks of carrots, freeze dried green beans, honey comb cereal, mashed potatoes, yogurt, grilled chicken, and more!

- Still sleeping like a champ and rarely take a morning nap, you're just to one afternoon nap these days.

- You are more confident in taking steps. You'll let go and walk away from whatever you're holing onto unprompted. Walking is just around the corner.

- You love wrestling with dad. When he walks in the door you b-line crawl to him and laugh before he even gets to you.

- You also love climbing the stairs.

- During recent cold nights we let the dogs in and you think it's hilarious to chase them in your walker. You laugh loudly and it's so cute.

- You are very content on your own and love to explore. Climbing in cabinets and rummaging through the drawer of the end table are you recent explorations.

- You show your dislike more and more these days, fussing when something is taken away or you are pulled away from playing.

-You still love bath time and scoot all around the tub chasing toys. You quickly fling around and move so much I'm surprised you haven't bonked your head yet....yet.

You are an amazing little boy and it is a joy spending time with you. You have taught your father and I a lot about love, patience, and  priorities. We love you immensely!!

Happy 16 months little man!

Sunday our church had a Christmas Family Activity Night

I made some cookies for Sean, and ate them for him too.

And we made an adorable little hands wreath. Sean's wasn't perfect but I love it! Such a cute idea. I think it would be fun to do these over the coming years and see the hand size grow and also see improvement in the hand print, hopefully, haha.

I cannot believe Christmas is so close!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
