16 Months

Our big boy is 16 months today. He is more and more fun everyday. I love being his mom......best job in the whole wide world. I'm not even going to take a guess at what he's weighing in at these days....we'll just say "a lot" and leave it at that. He is a jabber box these days and giggles and laughs at lots of things. There are several challenges lately with him biting and not sharing and just being a typical kid....but we're working through those :) I just love him to pieces and think he is the best that there is!!!!

Here's our little "Linus". Mimi bought him this shirt while she was here and it's pretty much perfect in describing him. He loves his "night night" or whatever you want to call it. But I will say he doesn't care what it is....could be a burp cloth, t-shirt, soft blanket, or whatever he can find.....he thankfully isn't particular in what it is as long as he has something. He gets that in his hand and then the thumb goes right in......that's what we call a happy Weston.

These are some tools that Aunt Melody gave him for his birthday. It's like he's rediscovered them in the last week because they are definitely his favorite toys lately. Interesting use of the pliers wouldn't you say?? I think his dad taught him how to use them :)


He is mastering the art of the spoon and fork these days. It is quite a bit messier at meals times but it's so cute to see those fat lips sucking down whatever is on that spoon. But for some reason he'll eat more vegetables when they're on the spoon! Whatever works!

Here's a video of Weston and some applesauce....

This is dad's lunchbox....also know as a small ice chest. Weston loves playing it in when dad gets home from work....as you can see the trouble is that he doesn't really fit in it. Imagine that :) But he still tries to squeeze all those fat rolls down inside. He has gotten stuck several times. He likes it when his dad pushes him around the living room in it. Just to give you an idea of the size of his belly, he IS wearing a diaper.

Those ice chest pictures are HILARIOUS! He's such a cutie! I'm impressed that he's eating with a spoon- I need to work on that with Austin. I can tell he wants to, I think I'm just afraid of the mess :)
