16 Months Old

Noah has really gotten into his role of little brother, he loves to destroy everything of Owens! his new favourite thing is to wreck the lego towers that Owen builds and colour on Owen's pages. Anytime the markers or crayons are out Noah wants to colour. I wonder if he will be an artist someday, scribbling is his favourite thing to do right now. His other favourite activities include dancing and any outdoor play. He really likes to play at the park and will climb up and down the ladder to the slide over and over again. If someone is at the park with their dog even better! he is really in love with dogs lately and notices them everywhere. I just have to be very careful that he doesn't run off and try and chase them. Hours are spent running around the kitchen and family room and any play involving running or climbing is enjoyed. I spend lots of my time getting Noah down from high places like the picnic table. He has also been taking the cushions off of the chair and couch so that he can stand on top of the chair and leap onto the cushions. I don't like that game very much so I am constantly trying to deter him from any game that involves leaping from high objects. The boy is a risk taker for sure.

Often we find ourselves talking about how "easy" Noah is. He eats and sleeps really well, rarely waking in the night anymore (except if he is cutting a new tooth). Not sleeping well for ten months and crying with reflux issues for five months is almost a distant memory. Despite a few temper tantrums like the ones he throws when he has to return the decorative rocks to the neighbors walkway, or when he has to come inside to eat dinner, he is generally a very happy little boy. Just don't take a toy out of his hands he will get it back! he is very determind and will use whatever means necessary to get what he wants.

Noah is currently 22lbs and has two new bottom teeth. His new words this month include "boo", "woof" and "up".


Happy 16 Months Noah!
