Ethan is 16 Months!



What's New:
Ethan understands more and more everyday, though he can't quite communicate the same way he comprehends.  He's completely got our number...he knows when to cry and when to laugh.  He's verrrry dramatic.  He loves pushing buttons and switching the lights on and off.  


Wears:
Ethan's official weight is 21.4 pounds from his 15 month checkup and he's 31 inches tall...I think the walking has definitely kept his weight down and he seems to be about average height as well.  He's just growing out of his 6-12 pants and is mainly wearing all 12-18 month clothing.


Eats:
It's hit or miss.  The little guy seems to be getting more and more picky.  Some days he loves pasta...other days he wants nothing to do with it.  He consistently likes banana {sometimes I roll it in crushed graham cracker} and he LOVES these little snacks.


Teeth:
I believe he has a total of 8 now.  He has his top front four, two molars {maybe more} and his bottom two teeth...maybe more?  It's getting harder to tell.  But he LOVES brushing his teeth at the end of the night.  I'll say, it's time to brush our teeth and he'll run back to our bathroom.  Hilarious!


Talks:
Ethan is getting really good at mimicking us and is able to repeat more and more words.  He's also very expressive.  He'll try to grab for things too far above him and flail his hand in an upward motion and I'll say "You can't reach it" and he'll squeal along.  It's hard to explain but it's super cute!  He can sign please, thank you {sometimes} and more.  He also shakes his head no when he doesn't 
want something or is done.  While his vocabulary is building every day, there is no shortage of babble.  He'll walk around and babble to himself...it sounds like he's having a fully involved conversation on his own.

Loves:
Anything he can push, pull, knock over, roll, the list goes on.  And the cat {per usual}.  Oh and his blankies...he can't get out of bed without grabbing his blankey.


Hates:
Still hates his diaper changes or being told no.  Or being contained in general.


Goes:
Everywhere!  He's starting to get faster and he'll be running any day now.

  6. He's so cute!! I am so jealous that he will look at your when you're taking a picture...I usually get the back of Cameron's head or a blurred picture! :) Isn't this stage fun?? It just keeps getting better!

  8. This was just like re-reading one of Ashlynn's udpates, they would be such awesome buddies! (And they are even the same height/size) Isn't it so cool how much they understand and how they can communicate with actually using words and sentences. Ashlynn LOVED brushing her teeth up until about two weeks ago... I think teething was the culprit, hoping her love returns!! It's so cute otherwise

  10. My almost 1 year old is huge lol! I love how much Ethan is looking like a boy now! Also, did you move his car seat forward facing? I'm debating when to do it since Noah is so big and tall.

  12. Little man! Love when they babble to themselves! Just wait till he starts talking. It's hilarious. Mila is CONSTANTLY talking these days. I mean the entire world around her is editorialized. haha. "Mama...look an ant. Oh he's going reeeeeallly slowly. He's still going Mama. Maybe he's going home? There he goes..." I mean how can you talk about an ant that long? haha.

  15. Ethan is adorable! It looks like our boys are at about the same stage. Tanner is now a picky eater (?) and is into EVERYTHING-so wild, but so fun! :)

  16. Look at him all bundled up in the snow. So many fun activities you are going to get to do with him this winter!

  17. Happy 16 months!! He is such a sweetie.

    So my guy also hates diaper changes and would litereally LOSE It when I tried to change him. I've started changing him on the floor and it is much better. He still cries sometimes, but not like he used to. I think he just realized that he was lying down too far above the ground for his liking (when he was on his change table). Just a thought if you are still using your change table...

  18. He is just the sweetest little boy there ever was. I miss him! He is growing up too fast!

  19. Love this post! We just hit 16 months also and I can't believe it! The babbling is a crack-up and I will surely miss it when he becomes a full time talker.

    I'm curious, is Ethan sitting in a front facing carseat? We are still using the one he came home from the hospital in.. but I am ready to at least switch to one that has both capabilities. I'd like him to sit forward.. but is it too soon? Wondering how other Mom's are feeling about this..

  20. I just love his adorable little face! He is so cute I could just eat him UP :) Owen loves teensy fruits too -- or any kind of fruity snack. I felt cold just looking at the snow in that picture. Happy 16 months Ethan!!!

  21. First of all, he's adorable. So big and so smart. Love the baby babble. Mac has new words every day now, so I'm sure Ethan will be right behind him. This 16=18 month age is really fun. They are so silly and smart and curious. Secondly, is that SNOW?! What the what?!
