Dayton - 16 Months

Here’s our big little guy! He’s 16 months old now, (and that means only two months until nursery!!!!) He definitely loves his mama these days! It doesn’t matter who comes close to him. - It could be Jordan, or it could be a stranger. - But he’ll point at me and say “Mama.”

He has started sleeping in the mornings until 7am or later, which is nice. He has also started taking only one nap a day, which is nice when it’s a long nap, but it’s no fun when it’s only an hour and a half.

He loves to climb, play, eat fruit and bread, and drink milk. He loves balls, and he loves to throw things - ball or not. He likes to look at books, but he rarely sits still long enough to look at one entire book. He loves the whale that he sleeps with, and he likes to throw it in his bed for next time. He loves to play peek-a-boo. If a word starts with m or b or d, he’ll say a syllable that begins with that letter to mean that word. - So he says ball, bib, banana, etc. in similar ways. He tries to say baby by saying “ba-ba.” He says mom, milk, moo, and more in similar ways. He says dad, Desitin, and maybe other d words that aren’t coming to mind right now.

I do still love to see the brotherly-sisterly love between these two kiddos! Dayton is big, and I love every bit of him!
