16 Months Old

Such a big boy! And so funny. He makes us laugh daily. Gulliver has an all-around sweet disposition. He is very attentive, focused, and calculated in his actions. At 16 months old, Gulliver:
  • Loves to play "chase," climb all over the furniture and anything else he can find, push trucks & trains around on the floor, play in his wagon, pet the dogs, sort laundry (aka dump all the dirty clothes out of the hamper), crawl in and out of his fort, look out the window
  • Eats three meals per day, usually with an afternoon snack. Drinks a morning and evening bottle of milk and a sippy cup of milk with lunch. Likes to eat what mom or dad is eating.
  • Stacks and unstacks rings, cups, and blocks; pulls pieces out of the puzzle; pulls apart giant jacks; crawls after the ball; removes pegs from the peg board
  • Points to the moon, the stars, and the mouse in Goodnight Moon
  • Gets on / off his bike, Rody, and rocking horse all by himself
  • Smiles whenever he hears the door open in anticipation of dad coming into the room
  • Understands signs for "done" and "eat"; can sign "milk" and "more"
  • Imitates many, many crazy faces and sounds made by mom and dad
  • Crawls up and down the stairs all by himself
  • Dances to music and tries to sing along
  • Gives lots of Hi-5's
  • Has 8 teeth (still haven't seen any molars)
  • Sometimes has good evenings of teeth-brushing and sometimes not-so-good
  • Stands for several minutes without holding on
  • Walks with his hands held
  • Has an absolutely adorable smile and laugh
  • Is loved to pieces by his mom, dad, and many others!
