the boy

He is the cutest, sweetest most fun boy ever. He really completes our family. He is just so fun. He is almost 16 months. He now will come get you and take you some place to show you something he finds neat, funny or wrong. He is pretty independent. Goes up and down the stairs as he pleases with the girls. Has to be right with them. If C takes off and heads upstairs you can bet your life on it he will be right behind her. He has been working on/getting 8 teeth all at once for a month. His molars and incisors. He has half of them now I think. He still kicks his legs like crazy when something makes him happy. I was carrying him on my left hip and had coffee in that hand too the other day so I could open the door and he kicked his legs so much the coffee was splashing everywhere. He climbs climbs and climbs some more. It's his fav pastime. He has figured out he can carry the girls pink stool around to help his climbing mission. He sleeps from 8 to 8 pretty much every night and takes a great afternoon nap. He still LOVES his pacis. If you ask him if he wants to go night night he will shake his head no but then if you ask if he wants to go see his pacis he runs for his room. He has to have one in his mouth and one to play with. When I get him up I ask him to put his pacis in his bed. He throws the one in bed and spits the other one in bed. He's very good about it. He NEVER cries to get out of his bed. I either am waking him to get up or he's in there happily playing and just waiting for us. He's the most laid back kid ever. He's picking up more and more words and sounds. He knows where his belly, feet, nose and hair is. He can tell you what a lion, horse and a dog say. He knows pretty much everything common you are saying to him and responds as he should. He thinks life and his sisters are very funny. When something is funny or he thinks it should be funny he throws his head back and laughs. He eats very well. Is a piggy. He still is carrying around his playdough containers with him. Not sure why he loves those but he does. Loves legos, balls, cars and the girl's pink stroller. He's not a dainty little girl with it though, if something is in his way or he wants to change directions he picks it up and places it where he wants it. He loves being with his sisters but loves when he gets mom or dad or the toys all to himself though. He is John's shadow. If J is home E is with him. He's a pretty special little boy, we are soooooo lucky to have him.
