16 Months Old

May 3rd: 16 Months Old

I'm sure all pre-toddlers go through this phase, but when it's your own little one it just BLOWS YOUR MIND!! Blakely has hit this accelerated learning pocket! She is like a little sponge out to absorb THE WORLD!! You dance, she dances. You quack, she quacks. You sweep, she sweeps. She is learning so much, so fast and I am impressed everyday by her intellect, her imagination and her tender heart.

Dancing with Mommy. We like to listen to Bruno Mars "Marry Me" on my iPhone and then we dance all around the house. It is so much fun, and we both giggle like crazy girls! I love this Monkey so much!

Highlights from the Month:
- Current Vocab: Mama, Dada, Hi, Bye, Uh-oh, Tes ( which is yes), 'kay (which is okay), no, itty (which is kitty), ack-ack-ack (Quacking), nigh-nigh
- Loves to dance and will copy whatever move you make
- She is very clean and neat: Sweeps the floor, puts things back, fixes things that fall over, always finds mommy's phone and shoes, extremely gentle/will not knock things over, wipes her hands off, etc.
- LOVES WATER!! This month it finally got warm enough to go to the pool at Aunties... oh my gosh... you cannot keep her out of the water (no pics, keeping her from drowning is a full time job!). She will even bring me her life vest in hopes of getting taken to the pool.

Current Favorite Things:
- Babies
- Any toy that has a face
- Any toy soft enough to hug and love
- "gray" baby
- Omelets for breakfast
- "Go Baby"

Picture Highlights from the Month:

If you are at our house and something goes "missing," you should first check the green toy box. Blakely loves to "clean up," and she puts everything in the same place! The green toy box! We have found cell phones, baby, keys, shoes, etc. Such a funny little baby!

Loves to read. Books currently are her favorite toy. She will bring a book for me to read her, listen intently, then as soon as its done, she jumps to the floor with the book and starts reading it again to herself. She doesn't ACTUALLY read, she just happily turns the pages and chatters with lots of inflection. This is one of the most precious things!

Starting to spend some time alone in her room.... mainly reading.



These two are really starting to play together. If Banks could, he would run after Blakely all day long. He even gets super frustrated when he can't keep up with her! He will walk soon.


Banks LOVES Blakely, and Blakely LOVES Banks.

First Pancakes: I try to only feed Blakely healthy foods, but one morning I decided it was time to expose her to the deliciousness of pancakes!!

She LOVED them.... but really, who doesn't love pancakes. They are delicious!
