16 Months Old!

I keep thinking I will quit doing these monthly updates but there is still so much stuff you do each month and I just don't want to ever forget anything!
You have suddenly become obsessed with the trash can...your biggest joy in the day is taking stuff to the trash and saying trash.  You know what is truly trash but we have also found paci's, sippy's, remote controls, car keys, books, toys and a few other things in there.  You are amazed with the trash!  It's the little things I guess!  You have started running around and hold your arms up like you are a little linebacker!  It is the cutest thing!  You are saying tons of words...too many to even name them all.  You will pretty much repeat any word we say.  Your favorite word is definitely stop!  You hear us tell the dogs to stop so you have picked up on that word and tell us to stop when we change your diaper or do something you don't want us to.  You are doing that thing that all kids do around this age and that is get shy when a stranger walks in the room.  You get between my legs and just act so shy.  It's funny because you aren't a bit shy around the people you know.  You have your good days and bad days when it comes to eating - some days you will eat a ton and some you will hardly eat.  We know that is normal.  You love shooting the basketball in your goal and doing all things boy!  You make everyday so much fun - how we got so lucky to be your parents is beyond us!  You are truly one of a kind!

Our Favorite Place!

Every week me and Mama make a trip to Target!  She loves this place...I was such a good boy on this trip!  It could have been that mama opened up some snacks and I sat in the buggy and just ate the whole time!

Playing in the Tub!

Painting!

I love it when mama gets out the paint and lets me have my fun!  It is so fun to get messy and then go take a bath!  I made a picture for daddy!  Paint time only lasted about 30 minutes because I thought it would be fun to paint my hair!

The Zoo!

We went to the zoo yesterday with Jack and a couple of my friends from church!  We got to play in the play area and then go see all of the animals!  I'm sure you can guess what my favorite animal was - the monkey!!  He was so funny...I did my monkey sounds while we watched him swing around.  I even got to pet and brush some of the animals.  When we were leaving mama bought me a monkey...we named him Nick!!

Little Gym Class

We tried the Little Gym Class last week so Reese could run around and play for an hour and have a little structured play time.  I'm not sure if Reese is ready for the gym class...I go back and forth.  While all the kids were doing the "structured" play time he would go play by himself and just watch.  He and Jack did love playing with all the balls and being able to run freely!  Reese will either be all about playing with other kids or just want to stand back and watch.  We will see...maybe he does need the gym class.

Happy Birthday MOMeeeee!!!

 

This blog isn't about me it's about Reese but I just wanted to say how special my birthday was!  I came home to Reese and Buster in their birthday hats, some of my favorite music playing, a home cooked meal, chocolate covered strawberries, and the best present EVER....a dustbuster!  Ha!  I have been wanting one of these things for forever and just never bought one.  With a little boy who is constantly spilling stuff this thing is necessary!  I am so blessed to have such a fantasic husband and the cutest, sweetest, most amazing little boy EVER!  My birthday's just get better and better every year!!
