Dump Trucks

Dump Trucks


Dump trucks are fun in the road.



 

Dump trucks are fun in the warm sand, by the warm sea.



Dump trucks are fun in the cold with snow!



Dump trucks are fun to play alone,



But they are most fun to play with your dad!

16 for 16 months

Baby J,
Today you are 16 months old. You are a hot mess! You make Mommy and Daddy laugh all the time! We love you more than you will ever know. Happy 16 months of life <3
Here are some things you should know about yourself as a 16 month-old:

1. You are a climbing machine: boxes, toys, furniture, ladders, etc. If it can be climbed, you try it.
2. You are very affectionate. Hugs are given freely, kisses when you choose. Milo gets hugs and kisses anytime you catch him!
3. You LOVE to go bye-bye. Mommy and Daddy have started spelling O-U-T and S-H-O-E-S. If we say them within earshot of you, you think we are going bye-bye and run to the front door.
4. You LOVE to read. We spend hours each week reading. You bring us a book, sit in our laps, and listen while we read book after book after book after book after book...
5. You aren't too interested in TV unless Elmo, commercial music, or animals are on. You will immediately stop what you're doing when you hear those things.
6. Mimicing is a new favorite activity for you. When Mommy and Daddy yawn and stretch, you do the same.
7. When you are excited you run through the house screaming or you swing your arms back and forth if you're sitting down.
8. The slide is your favorite piece of playground equipment. You like to slide down but your favorite thing to do is climb up!
9. You are saying several words: Daddy, Mommy, bath, bye-bye, ball, hi, this, that, bites, ball, kitty cat. You also have a plethora of animal sounds: elephant, duck, pig, cow, snake, cat, dog, sometimes wolf.
10. Your appetite has drastically decreased. It is more interesting for you to throw food on the floor and smash it on your high chair tray. Bananas, blueberries, peas, milk, cheese, lima beans, strawberries, sweet potatoes, peanut butter, guacamole are all some of your favorite foods.
11. You love bathtime. The new activity during bathtime is to lay on your belly and kick your feet and blow bubbles in the water. This excites Mommy and Daddy as we want you to learn to swim and love the water-not fear it as so many members of our family do.
12. Like any boy, you love balls. You have learned to throw them and you love to play basketball.
13. You love to play with Daddy when he comes home from work. An activity you two love to do together is for Daddy to throw a blanket or towel over your head and you walk around bumping into things. You laugh when you do bump into something and when Daddy growls or hisses at you while your head is covered.
14. Playdates are becoming a regular occurence for us. You love playing with your buddies.
15. You love to be outside. If anyone goes outside without you, tears are present within seconds!
16. You are a happy baby toddler. People comment how you are always smiling every time they see you. And you do have a VERY cute smile :)

Although you are technically not a "baby" anymore, you are still our baby and we love you incredibly. Thank you for making us your Mommy and Daddy!!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

Strawberries and Chocolate

What could be better than strawberries and chocolate?
Strawberries covered in chocolate, that's what.
This is what I found in the fridge when I came home from church this morning. Mmmm. Mmmm. Good.
And the outer smaller circles are bananas covered in peanut butter covered in chocolate. Also Yum-O!
Happy Valentine's Day to me :)

Thanks Baby!
He's also one of my favorite things <3
