Jack has now surpassed the 16 month mark. He is showing his personality more and more each day. He is still pretty small in size (despite the mounds of food he eats each day) but is quite agile none the less. He is pretty skilled at feeding himself and even drinking from a cup. He is an expert walker and will break into a slight run when we chase him. He loves to walk up and down stairs and up and down hills. He likes to be very independent and do everything on his own. He likes to help get dressed and comb his hair.
His vocabulary has really exploded in the last month. Here is a sample of words he is saying: ducks, cereal, mom, dad, milk, truck, bird, dump, bus, plane, shoes, eyes, ears, hair, hat, eggs, and of course NO!
He is a really good solo player and will hang out in his room or crib and read books and play. He has also learned to throw some pretty good fits. He appears to be somewhat of a perfectionist and also gets mad when his toys don't work right and I will often hear him yelling No! at them.
He loves to play and get dirty but gets irritated when he realizes his hands are dirty. He is very observant and picks up on the smallest things which just blows me away sometimes. He loves to mimic us and will join us in doing squats when we are exercising or likes to read the kindle or play on the laptop. And probably my favorite development right now is that he loves to give me hugs and kisses. He has very little stranger anxiety at this point and will pretty much play with anyone.
