16 months

I am behind on updates for James. I am just going to post a bunch of my favorite picks from the last month and give a couple of notes about new skills/behavior.

He has been a little more clingy. I don't know if he notices my belly growing or if it is just an age thing.

Here are his stats from his 15 month check up:

32 inches tall (75%)

21lbs 9oz (10%)

Head is in the 50% percentile.

He is still our long and lean little boy.

He is down to one nap these days. It is nice is many ways when he takes a 3 hour nap! But some days we might only get an hour and a half and those days are a little tougher. It is nice when we can get so much done during the day because we don't have to be home bound at two different times of the day.

We watched cousin Monte over night (it was quite the treat... he is so lovable) so the bouncer was out. James was really into the bouncer. I kept finding him in it.

I was able to take this picture before he ripped off his special KINGS beanie.

Playing with chocolate pudding. My mom gave me this idea. I remember seeing picture of me doing the same thing when I was little.

Ready to go to the "Boo at the Zoo". 

Pumpkin Patch. These places are a little out of control these days. Rides, petting zoo's the whole works!

Enjoying some cheddar crackers.

His first meeting with Mickey. He was a little nervous about meeting him at first but then warmed up and gave him a kiss on the nose before we left.

James loves: 

giving kisses

riding on anything... his zebra rocking chair, in his wagon, in toy cars, boxes, etc.
his daddy
sesame street
mickey mouse
planes
dogs
making messes by emptying drawers and cabinets
exploring
phones
climbing
books
balls
bike rides
his giant teddy
the trash can
and there is so much more.

James does not like:
going down for a nap
having his diaper changed
when mom or dad leaves
being put in the stroller when he wants to run around
when he cant push or close something any farther
It seems like there are more, but I cant think of them at the moment.
