Sixteen months

 

Is this my new favorite age? Yep. I wonder if each age will be my favorite. I’m really lovin this kid right now.

At 16 months Zane weighs 22 lbs (up two whole pounds from the 20 lbs he weighed at 10 months), i don’t remember his height, and still has a big head. 90th percentile, I do believe. :)

He has added two new words to his vocabulary this month: 1. “Uh-huh”. He says this over and over if either one of us are on the phone. He will also walk around with the phone up to his ear and say “uh-huh”. And the other day he kept slamming the phone into the back of my head saying, “uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh”. Apparently he wanted me to call someone? 2. “Dee Dee” (Matt’s mom). Except it sounds like “day day”. A little Southern accent, perhaps?

He has replaced waving at everyone with blowing kisses to everyone. He’s a pro. Even makes the ‘smack’ noise.

He wants to let the dogs out of the kennel as soon as he wakes up. He points to the kennel as says, “Uh?”. He chases them around the house and pins them to the ground.

He is definitely a little BOY! He wants to rough house. He runs up to me and pushes me, to which my role is to dramatically fall backwards and tell him that he’s the strongest boy in the world. He gets pretty tickled at that.

He goes to the front window and says, “Dada?” When I know Dad-o’s almost home, we go outside and wait in the driveway for him. I love to watch that smile spread across his face when he sees Matt pulling into the driveway.

 We love you more each day, Mister Love Bear Man.
