16 Months Old

Griffin is 16 months old. The best way to describe him is curious and happy. He is into everything these days and is really into cause & effect. For instance hearing Mommy scream when she turns around to see her shoes floating in the toilet. He laughs and loves a reaction. It's hard to get mad when you see his cute smile. He is so quick that you can't even blink before he is into the next thing.

He is suddenly picking up lots of new words. He loves pointing at something and saying the word. Griffin's favorites are duck (quack quack), truck (he points and says this every time he see one when we're driving), cow (mmmm) and bye (he says it loudly in a high-pitched voice and waves). One of his favorite activities is pointing to body parts and saying their names. He's learned nose, toes and belly button. 

Griffin also loves his new kitchen. He loves playing with pots and pans and cooking Mom and Dad lots of food to eat. Besides cooking, Griffin loves being outside. He could stay outside for hours and he loves to play in puddles after it rains. He runs and splashes through the puddles. He is definitely all boy!

Dinnertime is becoming more challenging because Griffin's definitely developing an opinion about what he wants to eat. He's becoming more picky, which is keeping Mom on her toes. We are constantly switching the food to have a good variety and coming up with new ideas. We've also started playing games to make eating more fun. 

Griffin is such a sweet boy. He loves giving hugs and kisses and I can't get enough of them. He understands "give Mommy & Daddy a kiss" and when he hears it he leans over and kisses our cheeks.
