16 months & Birthday

Baby Boy turned 16 months old on Sunday and I thought I'd do a little post about what Tuff has been up to these days....

• He is wearing a size 5 diaper, size 7 shoe, and 24 months - 2T in clothes
• The last time we were at the doctor he weighed in at 27.2 lbs.
• He is sleeping through the night and in his own bed.
• He has became a pretty picky eater the past month or so. It's hard to get him to eat much of anything other than cheese puffs, butter cookies, and hot dogs :)
• He LOVES a ball. Anything that involves a ball, count him in. He owns every kind of ball you can think of and probably has 2 or more of each kind. The first thing he does when he wakes up in the mornings is look for the nearest ball.
• He's starting to try to talk more. It seems like he always has something to say but it's just jiber-jaber right now. His current vocab consists of "MaMa, DaDa, Juice, Shoes and Cat"
• Other than a ball, his favorite thing to do is read. He likes to read to his self but sometimes he lets mommy read to him. I think the older he gets, the more interested in books he becomes. I had a friend recently tell me about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. If you go to that website, you can sign your child up for free to recieve a book every month until they turn 5. I thought this was a great idea. If you're reading this and you didn't know about it, click here to learn more. 
• He loves to dance when he hears any kind of music
• He's really becoming more affectionate lately. He loves to give kisses and hugs these days. I hope this continues forever :)
• He loves his cousin Ada. I have no doubt in my mind that he will be a GREAT big brother one day.
• He's in a climbing stage where he wants to climb on everything. We are trying to enourage him not to do this because we know he can get hurt.
• We have recently started trying the "time out" method instead of a spank on the butt and he seems to enjoy time out... So... I'm not real sure where to go from here. Haha.
• He is waving bye bye every time we leave somewhere or anytime someone is leaving us.
• He is very alert at all times. It's hard to get anything past him. (Just like his Daddy) 

Here is a picture of baby boy a year ago.

It's so hard to believe how big he's gotten in just one year.

We are so proud of our sweet boy and how much he seems to be learning every day. Jordan and I couldn't be any more blessed. Our hearts are definitely 110% FULL at all times because of his sweet little smile.

Today is my half sister, Bree's, Birthday!

Happy Birthday Bree! Hope you are having a fabulous day. We love you MUCHO!!!!
