Sweet Sixteen

SIXTEEN months old,

and we are loving every minute of this sweet boy!

A little about your 15th month (April 11 - May 11):

you weigh a whopping 27 lbs 8 oz and are a little over 33 inches tall.

you wear size 24 month clothing, and even a few 2T.  And your foot, well, its measures a 6 1/2  (w), but 7 (w)'s are fitting you because you have the sweetest chubby feet e.v.e.r:)

you are in size 5 diapers.

you are consistently sleeping through the night after falling asleep on your own.  Each morning, you just hang out in your crib after you wake up.  No crying, no yelling.  Can you say - content!?
You take one nap in the afternoon for about 3 hours, but sometimes you still need a short morning nap...depending on what time you wake up.

you now have you two top molars, which totals 10 teeth!  :) 

you love: milk, blueberries, carrots, tomatoes, and lately, powered donuts!  you dislike: mac & cheese! (too funny!)

you are wanting to use a fork and spoon all the time!  Pretty good at it too! 

love pointing to your body parts, but your favorite is "toes!".  You'll say "toe", point and just giggle. 

you understand all directions (stand up, sit down, come here, go get ____) and shake your head yes or no, depending on whether you want to do it or not:)

your personality has become your own, much different from your brother.  I love how the Lord has made both of you so unique...from your hair color to your silly expressions.  Layton is a talker (seriously, my ears ache sometime because there is no quiet) who is head strong, determined, caring, and a bit of a whiner.  (Blake would say that he is just like me! ha!)  While you, Luke, are very content, contagiously affectionate, easy going, quiet, but so fun and lovable.  (Blake would say that Luke is just like him! - and...I have to agree:)

you...

had your 1st ER visit after you busted your lip in the driveway.  NO stitches were needed, and you were such a tough little boy:)

love to be outside.  Constantly.  

also love Barney and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  You favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear. 

will play for the longest time by yourself, putting things together and taking them apart again.  

love to find and come sit wherever Mommy is.  You sit down and look up at me like, "hey mommy, just wanted to be near  you."

are completely obsessed with basketball, you would shoot the ball all day long.  

are just so EASY.  I say it all the time..."The second baby has not been a "life disruptor" like everyone said it was going to be.  He melted right into our family and its been such a smooth transition.  We are blessed." 

love music!  Your favorite song, "God Made Me" - you start clapping and dancing immediately when it comes on! (and you love your music class-I love seeing you interact, follow directions, and play with the instruments...Thanks Grammie!)

are beginning to wrestle with your brother, and are doing a great job at keeping up with him.  I have a feeling in a few years....he won't mess with you:)

your favorite animal sound is the "ssssss" for snake.....we ask you to do it a thousand times a day.

have become Daddy, Granddaddy's and Pop's "boy", lately.  You gravitate toward them more and more.  I love seeing you with them, it's a special bond.

we have noticed that your hair wants to curl, just a little, especially in the humidity. And Mommy has still resisted getting your first officially hair cut! 

you steal everyone's heart immediately with your sweet grin.

We love you, Luke Davidson, and feel so blessed to be watching you grow each and every day:)
