Sixteen Months Today!

Today I turned 16 months old!! Mommy and Daddy keep saying they can't believe how fast I am growing. We have been so busy lately with the holidays and traveling to visit mom's childhood friends, the Murphy's in D.C. and my cousins in Ohio that we have had no time to blog. We had a great holiday and I even got a brand new kitchen set all for me. We spent the holidays with nana and poppop, Aunt Shay, Boris, Aunt B and Uncle Fred. My grandma from Ohio also flew in Christmas day to see me so it was very exciting. On New Year's day, my mom and I flew to D.C and we had a great time visiting the Murphy's. I got to see my boyfriend Carter and cousin Gabi. We had so much fun taking baths together and having lots of dance parties. Then a few days later we flew to Ohio where I got to spend the week with my cousins. We also had a fantastic time playing. I really liked the playtents they had and all of their toys. It was a special treat when I got to go in to my cousin Nate's preschool class for share day-he told his friends all about me. I really liked all of the attention. We also had fun playing in the snow together when my cousins had a snow day. I even got to be a part of my cousin Emma's baby play group one day!!!

My mom and dad are very proud of me as a 16 month old. I have a handful of words that I can say now, some of them are doggie, mommy, daddy, cat, hat, more, eat, up, book, ball, nose, mouth, egg, milk, bottle, hi, bye, baby, duck, goose, help, abby, and some more that I can't remember now. I know my mommy and daddy's favorite word that I say is please! I try to remember to use it as much as possible because it makes them smile. I am getting some of my bottom molars this week so I have had a hard time sleeping in my bed. I would much rather cuddle with mommy and daddy! I am as busy as ever and I love being chased and tickled. We are still so lucky to live in the neighborhood that we live in. We have so many good friends my age and there is always someone around to play with. My mommy and I are still doing gymnastics class, too, and I really like my teacher Miss Brenda. I would say things are going pretty well for this sixteen month old!
