16 months

Not much has changed lately other than a few new teeth! We just got our first 2 molars. Poor baby doesn't get a break with teeth coming in. He always runs a high temp and is not himself for a few days. These two came about a week apart so we have had a rough time lately! He won't eat much anymore either. He used to eat whatever we were eating and it was great. I'm trying to stick to my guns and not make him separate meals. So if he doesn't eat what I cook, at least some of it, then he usually gets milk and gets down. I refuse to start this picky eating thing, his dad is bad enough! Tonight he would not let me put mac and cheese in his mouth. He was screaming and hitting and yelling no! So, I just put a big glob of it on his tray and said chicken and he ate it right up. For some reason he will eat anything we call chicken, haha. I don't know how long our little trick will last!

He can talk so well I am so proud :) He also knows a lot of animals and their sounds along with belly, nose, ears, eyes, teeth, and feet on his body. I forgot to post his stats when he went to his 15 month check up. He was still in the 90% for both height and weight. He definitely seems to be slimming out though. Height he was 32.5 inches and weight he was 26.8 pounds. Doctor R was very impressed with his vocabulary too.

Favorites at 16 months:
Food: cheese
Show: Elmo!!!!!!
Word: Deer and Elmo, which are the 2 things he always wants to watch on TV too
Favorite thing to do:  read books! He will sit for HOURS!
Drink: juice which is actually mostly water with some apple juice in it
Toy: Elmo or his books

Bed time has been 7:30 lately. I don't know why he has been crabby a little earlier and wanted bed without his sippy lately! So, I think he is breaking himself of this habit! I couldn't have asked for a better night time routine. We literally lay him down and he rolls over and goes to sleep until about 7:30-8 in the morning. So blessed!

So blessed with this little spunky personality! I hope he starts to eat better again soon! I miss my little garbage disposal of an eater :)
