16 months and Something Presidential...

Goofball

It's been awhile, I know.  I've been a total slacker at posting even the easiest of postings like "Watching Wednesday", but I'm here now and here's the latest.

16 MONTHS:

Weight: 25.2 lbs (59th percentile)

Length: 32 inches (74th percentile)

Nap Time: Little Man continues to take 1 nap a day. Typically from 1-3pm.

Night Time:  7:30 is still bedtime following a story and prayers. Bath time is getting more and more fun as C is discovering that various toys (and fingers and hands) fit in other toys or cups.  He loves splashing but HATES getting his hair washed.  He hasn't caught on yet, that if he keeps his chin up the water won't go in his eyes...oh well, consider it a work in progress

Food: Munchkin eats everything we do and seems to like spicy (like PaPa's guacamole) and sour flavors.  He has a good appetite but gets distracted easily by the doggies or other things going on around him so he doesn't eat as much as he used to.

Story time

Motor Skills: Little dude can officially feed himself with mini silverware!  And like his daddy, runs everywhere he goes.  I guess walking is for the weak.  He loves to put bendy straws into paper towel rolls.  Lately he's been catching on to beats in music, by clapping or shaking his maraca eggs.  I credit the music class for that-it's truly amazing

Language & Fun Facts: Speaking of music class our maestro has also picked up on inflection.  He doesn't have much of a vocabulary yet (Boss, dada, mama (occasionally), hi, ball, banana, blue and just started saying hat) but he'll say words with different accents points!  He has also started using the letter "L"!  C is in size 5 diapers, and wears 12-18 month clothes he's tall and thin (hmm wonder who he gets that from). He adores the park and is total boy.  His favorite is walking up the slides.  We've also recently been attending a play group in our squadron and he seems to really like that, too! He seems to change almost daily and his personality is really beginning to shine.

Massive bedhead

I'm stuck!

"HELP"

SOMETHING PRESIDENTIAL:
 Last week B went on a job interview.  To say he was nervous would have been and extreme understatement because as he put it, "I haven't been on an interview since high school."  The interview was for a place with the Presidential Advance Agents (PAA).  Basically what this group does is handle all the ground activities for AIR FORCE 1!  Pretty awesome if you ask me.  Anyway we spent the week leading up to the week-long interview by getting B some snazzy duds (for when he would be in civies) and all the info (weaknesses and strengths) about himself we could think of.  Sunday came and he left for the Pentagon.  After two days of interviews he found out Wednesday afternoon that he was one of 11 selected!  I couldn't have been prouder of him and I'm sure he'll have some amazing stories to tell C when he gets older.
