Caleb is actually close to 17 months now, but I thought I would post his new milestones/growth for the past 2 months before another has past!
In his 16 month pic, he's sticking out his tongue to catch the snowflakes!
Dear Caleb,
Over the past 2 months, you've continued to astound your dad and I with how much you've learned and grown! You have started talking more and some of the words you now say include: dada, duck, dog, ball, go, buddy, hello, juice, boom, choo choo, and uh oh. You still have one name for your parents and call both Alan and I "dada" :). You know more of what you want in life and spend a lot of time pointing and grunting to get our attention and to get us to figure out what you want. It can be frustrating for both parties at times, but you are pretty good at communicating things even when you don't have words. You do have several signs, milk, all done, stars, bathroom (used to tell us when you need your diaper changed), more. You've grown a bit taller and heavier. I can tell when I pick you up and how all your pants are becoming highwaters. You now wear primarily 18 month clothes, just moved to size 6 shoes, and wear size 3 or 4 diapers.
You are an active guy! You love your slide, using your dad as a jungle gym, playing on the playground, and throwing things. You can now do stairs with either a rail or holding mom or dad's hand, although sometimes you still crawl. You can almost jump up from the ground and are getting close to running. You can climb up on just about anything in our house now and love to stand on a chair in the kitchen and "help" me cook. Your favorite place to go is still South Lake Park. With ducks, slides, and swings, who wouldn't love it, right!?
You are also so smart! You can put all the shapes in your shapes puzzle and bucket. You love stacking blocks, driving trucks around, and "talking" on the phone. You basically now how to use mom's IPAD. Your favorite thing to watch on TV (and one of the only things mom lets you watch) is Praise Baby (basically Baby Einstein to praise music). You frequently bring me the remote and the DVD case and point to the TV to request it! You have a little pillow that you pull onto the floor and sit on while you watch. It's so cute. You can identify 14 body parts and still love to read books.
Caleb, you are a joy to watch as you grow and change. You are so precious and I look forward to seeing the man you become. But for now, stay my baby boy and give mom cuddles every once in a while!
Love,
Mama
