16 months...

Luke is now 16 months, and there are so many things about him at this age that I don't want to forget:

- He actually builds with legos now. (As opposed to the previous lego stage, where he just threw them across the room.) He picks out all the square pieces and stacks them up to make a big tower. This takes a lot of concentration for such a little guy, and there are definitely moments of frustration.

- He still grunts when he wants something. We keep thinking he will grow out of this, but I think it's not going to happen until he can actually communicate in words. I've decided that he sounds like a baby wookie.

- He "reads" books. He babbles the cutest sentences. It is a fascinating language. He's just started the stage where he brings you a book and plops in your lap so that you'll read it to him. So cute!

- He barks anytime he sees anything that could possibly resemble a dog. It's a really high-pitched, screechy bark.

- He mashes his food. He's not very hungry lately, or else maybe it's just more fun to mash it all up. It doesn't matter if it's Cheez-it's or a banana, he'll eat it for a while, and then take his thumb and mash it into a million pieces.

- He is scared of the top of the steps. He'll high-tail it up, but is petrified to get near the entrance to go down.

- He is into EVERYTHING still. Very mischevious. See picture below.

- He is nowhere near wanting to relinquish the beloved pacie.

(This is what he did while I typed. And yes, it's sharpie. I later found it all over the kitchen tile & all over one of my kitchen chairs. What does that look on his face say?)
