Sixteen Months

I'm finally getting a chance to post Ryan's sixteen month post!

This was you one year ago! Where does the time go? I can't believe how big you are now!

Ryan - You are SIXTEEN months old!!!!

What have you been up to this month???

You weigh around 25 pounds

You wear size 4 diapers, size 5 shoes, and 18-24 month clothes.

You are one busy little boy and constantly on the move! You never slow down! You can open and shut all the doors which keeps me quite busy chasing you. You love to get into cabinets and drawers and play anything that will make a loud noise.

Your eating is about the same. The only fruits you like are peaches and pears. You usually eat them just about every day, ha! You don't eat most veggies but surprisingly tonight you decided you loved tomatoes! Your dad and I sat not believing our eyes at the dinner table. We just kept shoveling tomatoes onto your tray, ha! Your favorite foods are chicken (cooked any way - fried, grilled or even in a casserole), applesauce, grilled cheese, yogurt, cereal bars, animal crackers, cheerios, hotdogs, goldfish and your latest favorite...peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

You go through stages of separation anxiety. Right now all you want is momma but they tell me at church that you calm down very quickly after I leave and do great!

You are so funny! You love to make us laugh and you love to be tickled.

You sleep and nap great. You sleep around twelve hours each night (7:30-8:00). You take one long nap every day. Usually you go down around 12:30/1 and sleep til 3:30/4.

You have a little mischievious side to you. You will look back at me when you are about to do something you know your not suppose to.

You are trying to say more words. We do flashcards just about every day. Some of the new things you have said recently... fish, hi, hush, get down (in reference to Gracie on the couch), and baby.

I cannot believe how fast you are growing. You are so sweet and love to give us hugs and "loves". We cherish those special moments. We love you so much and are so thankful for you.
