16 Months

16!

Look at those teeth!

Big boy Colin



Everytime I'd say "Cheese" she'd grin and squint her eyes!

 We're 16 months---and learning so much everyday! Brady has mastered the stairs. He can go up and down them on his feet holding onto the wall. Ryan even caught him walking down the middle of the stairs no handed for about 4-5 steps! Big boy! Addison will have it mastered any day now. Colin does well on his feet too. We've had 2 big tumbles but I don't even think they cried. Brady has rolled down the whole way and Colin has too. We're tough at our house. A little pat on the back and off they go. The reason I mention this is because the doctor gave us that goal by 18 months.

We're not saying as many words as I had hoped at this point. Brady has recently added cracker to his vocabulary and Addie said yes to me several times the other day. They understand so much though. It's fun to tell them to get you a diaper or the wipes. They often clap for themselves after you praise them for their good work! I'm anxious for them to TELL me what they want instead of pointing or grunting. Addie likes to stand at the cupboard and grunt at the treat she wants. It's a guessing game until I point to the right one.

Here are a few of our favorite things at 16 months:

Fruit-green grapes. They'd eat them all day long if I'd let them.
Breakfast- cinnamon rolls
Snack- puff corn! Mommy loves it too!
Activity-playing outside. When I bring them out to the SUV, they scream and kick because they want me to put them down to play. Brady loves the little red and yellow car and often just sits in it and smiles!
Inside Activity- climbing on the couch, biting (boys), reading books. We still love our baths and even put our face in the water sometimes. Anxious for the swimming pool!

Looking forward to Easter Weekend with my family! Check back for Easter pictures and pictures of Addison's new PINK room :)
