16 months and 100% BOY!

Griffin Patrick -

another month has somehow managed to sneak by. and with the month came more words, broader understanding, and many more falls! you continue to be 100% boy: running everywhere you go; climbing on everything in sight; throwing sand; banging sticks. this morning i came back from taking avery to the bathroom and found you kneeling ON the kitchen table, tossing the fruit out of the basket piece by piece!! AHHHH!

Your vocabulary is slowly increasing - you will pat the couch and say "sit" when you want on it. you call balloons "ball;" sometime you actually say "milk;" and you can say quack quack, moo, and woof to the correct animals. you do sign language for more/eat, all done, please, thank you, and milk.

you enjoy sitting on my lap and pointing to eye, nose, mouth, ear when i say them. you're really good and pointing them out on my face but can't always find your own.

avery continues to be the highlight of you life! you are thrilled to see her every morning and every day after nap. i'm pretty sure you get more excited for her than for mommy or daddy! you like to harass her by stealing her stuff and running away with it. you also love to pull the bows or barrettes out of her hair. but all is fair in love and war because she still rips thing out of your hands when she wants it!

we are down to 1 nap a day on most days. now if we could just make that nap long enough to keep you from being grumpy tired by 6 PM we'd be set!

we love you griffy!!
