You turned 16 months back on May 23rd!
You are completely into stuffed animals. You feed them, rock them, rub their back, and love them. It's too cute. You go nuts for Elmo now. We were caught off guard when we were walking through a store one day and you said, "Elmo!" Sure enough there was a little toy Elmo. We had never introduced you to Elmo, but daycare said there are tons of Elmo books and they are your favorites.
Burrying papa.
We got you a small inflatable pool for $10 a few weeks back and you are obsessed! You will kick, splash, and even put your face in the water. Sometimes when we are inside the house you will go to the front door and say, "pool?"
You never want to come in when we go outside. You cry when it's time.

This biggest and best update this month is that you have learned how to say, "I love you." It's pretty sweet. Sometimes you say it clear as day, other times, it sounds like, "I yo-yo!"
You like to dance by just bending your knees up and down. You like to be read to, but there are times when you want to look at a book on your own. You will pick one out and go away from us to turn the pages and look at it.
You are still the best sleeper. You have even started asking to go to bed. Yup, you heard me right, asking to go to bed. You will grab your "blankie" and walk to the bottom of the stairs where the baby gate is and ask, "night night?" When we take you up to your room, you immediately ask for a book. We read Goodnight Moon a lot and then lay you down. You hardly ever cry at bedtime. You typically go to bed around 6:30-7pm and sleep until 6-6:30am. 12 hour sleeper here!

This picture cracks me up.
You're becoming a much better eater. Strawberries, mandarin oranges, apples, cheese, yogurt, applesauce, chicken, pizza, carrots, and pancakes. We are still working each day to get those veggies in you! I've started buying these squeeze things of sweet potatoes and carrots that you can feed yourself and that is helping on the quest to get you to love veggies.
You finished your 10 week program of gymnastics. You seemed to enjoy it very much. We are going to do swim lessons at the YMCA again soon. We attempted to take you to free swim over Memorial Day weekend and you screamed bloody murder. It was awful. When you took swim lessons at 4 months, you loved it!
Stats:
You wear size 18 months or 2T stuff.
You weigh about 24 pounds.
You wear size 4 shoes.
Your hair is getting so long. You've been rocking a pony tail smack dab on the top of your head.
You went to the beach for the 2nd time! Last time we went you were only 4 months old and you slept in your car seat on the beach. This time you loved the sand and played the whole time.
You've started some tantrum type behavior which isn't fun, but you do know what "no" means.
Here are your monthly pictures. It's amazing to see these pictures. I think right now is my most favorite age to date. You are such a little person now. You communicate more. You answer yes or no. You
