TEC. 16 months

record of tuck at 16 months.


he is talking a lot. in italian, french, and chinese. thankfully he is really trying to make words but he typically has better things to do. like push a car around. he does say apple, mama, and oscar very clearly.


he is into EVERYTHING and wears me out daily with his energy.


he eats so well. all kinds of vegetables and almost everything you put in front of him.


he still needs a nap in the morning but i am trying to cut him off. he still dives in his bed. we can't sing to him fast enough. he is completely attached to his 4 little blankets he sleeps with and still takes a paci. he frequently goes into his room to get a blanket and his paci and find me. i always get the hint.


he is starting to get interested in books but only if it's by himself. he will not let me read to him but he will sit and look at a book if it is his idea. 


he observes everything. especially grey. and copies everything. 


he is really enjoying other people than me. for this i am more than thankful for. i know in march this is going to be very important. he especially loves my mom! 


i can't get his meals to him fast enough. he squeals and dances when he sees the toaster or something on the stove or hears the microwave. he really loves to eat. 


he loves to tackle grey, jump on him, and hide in closets with him. i'm really loving their brotherhood. 


he loves to color and draw. i have to sit right by him with crayons and markers because he loves to "taste" them. colored pencils are safest.


he really enjoys watching the clemson tigers play and doing "touchdown!"


he is mesmerized with machinery, trucks, and animals. he watches the butterflies on our flowers for long periods of time. he tries to catch the bees and will call oscar. (it actually does sound like oscar)


he is running at full speed. and i mean full speed. there are many times i have a hard time catching him! 


he dances. all the time. it's in his genes. it makes me laugh no matter what.
