15 (well really 16) months old!

If you can believe it Jame is 16 months old.  We had his 15 month appointment in January and all was well!  James has grown to 31 inches and weighs in at almost 26 punds - so he has actually slimmed out a little.

He is actually sharing my roast beef sandwhich here.

So what is the monkey up to?  Well he is beyond mobile - he runs around the house and all around the playroom after the dog and away from us.  He is also LOVING going outside - it doesn't matter if it is cold or not he just loves it. 

He has about 12 teeth now and while hw can eat everything, he decides to only really eat carbs, carbs, and more carbs.  We did get him to eat peas for a couple of days and then right back to boycotting all vegetables.  He still does okay with dairy and fruit - well apples and bananas- and has been better about his proteins, but he still really likes his carbs! I guess it runs in the family. :)

Although he is getting taller - he still has some very short legs, so we are mostly in 12 month pants but 18-24 month shirts and 24 month pajamas.  And while 2 months ago, I was sure that James would never where socks or shoes, he has been asking to have socks on lately - very strange. 

Some other strange things that have been happening are his aversion to having his pants changed, changing his clothes and bathtime!  It is very frustratng because bathtime used to be a great time and now it is just screaming - but I mean he has to get clean.  We have been trying a couple different things to make him not afraid without any results.  Our next step is a fun faucet cover and water crayons.  We will see. 

All in all he is fantastic.
