16 Months

Gwyneth turned 16 months on the 7th!  She is really growing up fast and is not so much a baby anymore.  She is like a sponge learning new things everyday.

At 16 month's Gwyneth...

....is 25 lbs.

....loves pancakes, yogurt, and avocados.

....has a boyfriend (a boy toddler that she plays with) at day care and they are so sweet together!  He greets her every morning when we arrive and he helps guide her into the room.  When it's time to go play outside the teacher said that he corrals her towards the hallway so they can walk out together. :)

....has learned to take off her diaper (I see now why mom's that cloth diaper prefer snaps to velcro).  Luckily, I have been a witness of each diaper removal so there have been no messy incidents but I am sure they will come with time.

....can identify all the animals on her safari blanket.

....still loves reading books and can point at objects in the book when you ask her to find them.

....has 12 teeth (6 on top and 6 on bottom).

....is constantly on the go!  She isn't wasting anytime trying to learn to run.

....is very ticklish like her mommy. :)

....still loves her favorite show "melmo" aka Sesame Street.

....can say milk, food, more, and please in baby sign language.

....throws her arms in the air when you say "Touchdown!"

....can say "Roll", but we are still working on "Tide." :)

This past Saturday was the wing picnic.  It was the biggest picnic I have been to since Brandon has been in the Air Force, complete with a stage and band.  The Riverside community actually put on the picnic and not the wing itself.  Albertson's, a local grocery store, was a big sponsor and they provided the standard picnic fare of hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, and baked beans.  After scarfing down our hot dogs, we got popsicles which were a welcomed treat in the 100 degree weather.  Gwyneth had her first popsicle which she insisted on holding herself...total mess.

And once it was gone she cried for more. :(

There were bounce houses set up for the children and a big blow up slide that they were spraying with water.  Gwyneth really wanted to play with the big kids and was staring and pointing at the water slide.  Maybe next year baby. :)
