16 Months

I am One Cool Dude!

-Loves his bikes, he has 3 and still wants every one that he sees in the neighborhood
-Harlow loves wearing and playing with hats

-Playing in the dirt is awesome, especially when you can dump it right onto your head
-I can no longer garden when he's awake.  He either eats the dirt (this kid does not stop with one handful) or he pulls up my plants (poor poor cucumber plant...if only I could teach him to pull weeds already, now that would be great)

New Words are: poo poo, hot, hat, Dada, Flower, shoes, socks, dog and barking

-Aunt Ellie taught him how to stick his tongue out

-Is a singing boy.  Sings while we're out on our walks, as he's going to bed, playing with toys

-dances whenever he hears music

-Is already going to nursery, thanks to good friends who are okay with him going a few months earlier.  He loves nursery! "Mom and Dad? who are they?"

-Loves sidewalk chalk, especially eating it

-Goes down with little or no fuss, he's usually more ready for it and I am.

-Is a milk montser

-He'll go put himself in the stroller and wait for me to come find him.  "It's time for our walk Mom"

-Loves brushing his teeth

He's learning to work:

-He puts his dirty clothes away in the laundry shoot everyday

-Helps Mommy load the washing machine and dryer

-Knows the "clean up song" and helps clean up his toys, even sings the song with us

Harlow's growing up so fast!  He fills everyday with laughter, excitement and learning.  I love watching him learn new things and the look of accomplishment on his face makes me proud.  He'll come up and play games with and jokes on me.  I love seeing his little personality emerge and how he knows when he's being funny.  I feel so blessed and happy to be his Mommy!

I love my little boy
