Funny Things at 16 mo!

Forgot to blog about last night (7/30). Daddy and I went out to the movies, so we took you to play with your friends at Skidaddles. When we picked you up, you were WIDE awake and SOOOOOOOO excited to see us!!!! You immediately got down from the woman holding you, and ran over to the little window! Oh, it just made my night!!!!!

Lately I have noticed you really picking up on things, and starting to understand small commands. Understanding "no," "stop it," or "don't touch that" still are not registering...haha! The past few nights, I have been throwing a ball, and then I'll say "go get it" and you bring the ball back to me, and it's a little game - this goes on for a few minutes. :) When I say, "where's baby"? you will sometimes go to where your Bitty Baby is and pick her up, and sometimes pat her back. Tonight, I gave you chocolate milk, and you had put it down for a few minutes. I asked you to go over to get your chocolate milk, and you went right over to your sippy cup and got it.

New sounds - let's see..."boo," but only when I say it first - you'll repeat it. You've been growling "raaaargh!" but only when we start first - it's sooooo funny! You've been saying "di di" for months, and I'm pretty sure that's your way of saying "doggy" because when we visited Grandma Betsy & Pop Pop Marc, as soon as you saw their doggies, you screamed "di di!" I think you're trying to say baby, but it comes out sounding a little like "di di," but with a different kind of sound - hard to explain. :) When we walk up the stairs, you now point at the pictures (there are 2 framed pictures of you when you were 8 wks old), and you say the word that I believe you're trying to say for baby. Oh, and everything is still a phone :) Haha!!!

Sleeping - you're stil an amazing sleeper (knock on wood!) Today you took a 3 hour nap - you didn't take a 2nd nap, but that's a good amount of time to be sleeping especially when you woke up at 9:00am!!! Seems like you wake up late, play for an hour or so, get sleepy, take a LONG nap, play for a little bit and get sleepy again for an afternoon nap! I definitely should not complain, but it's hard to plan our day because you get so sleepy (AND FUSSY) quickly!!

Sleep tight!!!!! You get to play with Michelle & the girls tomorrow!! YAY!!!
