Life feels full speed ahead most days; but why doesn't it on the days when bedtime can't come soon enough?!  Here I am; 6 months after B has turned 1 and I haven't updated anything.  Everyday I think I need to do it and then the thought leaves my mind as fast as it entered it.  I'm hoping I can remember all the milestones my second, sweet baby boy has made.  Each day I am so thankful I was chosen to be his mom.  He has been such a gift to our family.  I love seeing him accomplish new things but it is a double edged sword because I want him to stay my little baby boy.  

* He finally accomplished his first step at 15 months and started walking at 16 months.

*The day after he started walking; he said his first word with real intent. The next day he followed with 4 more words.  It was like he was working so hard to walk he wanted to stay focused on that one task; then the could move on to the next.

*His first word with intent; after Mama was Ball.  So fitting because he LOVES balls.  Whenever we see one he points and is drawn to it like a magnet.  He will run straight onto a basketball court with a full game in session to grab one.  

*Words in his current vocabulary at 16 months-present: Mama, Dada, Ball, Up, Uh Oh, says Woof when he hears a dog.  

*Still using his sign language.  First thing he signs when he wakes up every morning is milk and eat!  He does it over and over until he gets what he wants.

*He impresses everyone with his large receptive language and will nod yes or no to most questions accurately.

*Loves that he now can play on the playground and loves to go down slides.

*Finally around 16 months is becoming a better eater and will throw food on the ground with authority if he doesn't like it.  

*Favorite foods: banana bread, bananas, yogurt, eggs, crackers and applesauce.

*Went to school for the first time starting at 15 months and transitioned wonderfully; his teachers adored him.  He was so laid back and go with the flow.  Bri was sad that after a few days he could care less when he left after drop off.

*Is scared of dogs of all sizes. 

*Thankfully takes good naps (2-3 hours) but doesn't nap on the go in the car/stroller.

*Wants to be wherever his brother goes.
