16 Months Old

 It's hard to believe we have had 16 months of pure joy from one little princess.

 

 This picture pretty much sums you up, full of energy and spunk!  This is the reason we smile so much!

 Here is what you are up to at 16 Months:

• Weight: 25.5 lbs
• Length: 32.5 inches
• Clothes: You are wearing 12-18 months clothes 
• Shoes: You wear a size 4 or 5 shoe. 
• Diapers: We have switched back to regular diapers (we needed a break).  You wear a size 3 during the day and size 4 at night.
• Food: You are a great eater and snacker. You could probably eat only crackers and milk and be a happy girl.  You tried corn on the cob once in the last week and were able to nibble off a few pieces.  It's hard to eat corn on the cob with only 4 front teeth.
• Development: You are walking very well and running a lot.  But your favorite thing is to ride your bike with mommy or daddy chasing you. You just figured out how to bend over and look through your legs.
• Words: You are still a little chatter box.  You can now say no when we ask you about what you want to eat.  It is the sweetest and politest no though.  You shake your head and just say no. You started to say Mommy and Daddy this month instead of Mama and Dada.  Hearing you say that will never get old.
• Sleep: You still go to bed at about 7:30 every night and wake up between about 7:00 am.  You take a 1 to 2 hour nap in the morning and a 30 minute nap in the afternoon.   You now need to go to bed with two things every nap and night, Mickey and blankie.
• Teeth: No new teeth this month.
• What I love about you: It melts my heart when you say mommy.  I wish I could hold you and hug you more often because you are just so amazing.  You smile and laugh so much!  You are truly a gift from above.

 

 Chesney, my little peanut, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I just love, loving you!
