16 Months Old

Chloe, you are 16 months old already! What have you been up to this month?

*You are still wearing a few 9 month clothes but you mostly wear 12 month clothing now.
*Your foot has finally grown to a small size 3 :) Most walking shoes start at size 4 or 5. I don't know why they don't make more shoes for babies with small feet. I did buy you a pair of tennis shoes in a size 4---they are a little too big but that means you have some room to grow.
*You are still wearing a size 3 diaper.
*You have finally graduated to one nap a day most of the time. It's been a really hard transition so I hope you get adjusted to it soon. For now, you have a very early bedtime :)
*You don't eat very much and I hope that will change as you get older.
*You still will only drink out of a straw cup.
*You can say mama, dada, hi, eye, uh-oh. Pretty much the same words for a long time now---I can't wait to start hearing more of your precious voice.
*You can use sign language for more, milk, all done, and eat.
*You will make the animal sounds for cows, monkeys, and pigs.
*You love to shake your head yes whenever you want something (even if we don't ask you will start shaking your head yes if you see something you want).
*You are very friendly to strangers as long as they don't try to get near you. You LOVE to wave and say hi to everyone we pass when we are out running errands.
*You want to be put straight to bed at night. You point to the bed and you want us to put you right in (no rocking).
*No new teeth this month. You still have 4 total.
*You LOVE to play outside. If someone is going outside they better be ready to take you with them or you will get very sad.
*You love your brothers and you are always happy to give them a hug or kiss.
*You love to practice blowing kisses too :)

I made the kiddos semi-matching Valentine's Day shirts and they wore them on Chloe's 16 month birthday :)

All 3 kiddos before Cason went to school...

Then, Chloe, Corbin and I went to PlayStreet Museum to have some fun---they both love it there!
