Grant- 16 Months

(originally written December 2nd)
These days Grant learns new words and does new things every day. It's hard to keep track of everything but here are some highlights.

Old favorites...we learned early on that Grant loves animals. One of his first words was dog and he gets SO excited about any animal or bird that's around. He says duck, dog, eep (sheep), seeee (geese)

Climbing...couches, chairs, and stairs are no match for Grant. He basically goes wherever he wants now and I have a lot more confidence in his abilities. He has recently started trying to walk down the stairs too, which is a little unnerving but he hasn't fallen and I don't think it's possible/fair to try and stop him from doing it.

New skills...he's just become interested in what happens on the kitchen counter so this past month we've started letting him stand up on a kitchen chair to watch like Tyler does.
Jumping...he can sort of get off the ground already! He's been trying for months so that's not much of a surprise except that Tyler didn't jump until he was 2 I think.
Haircut! Grant had his first haircut this month. He did great and he looks so cute (and old) with short hair.

Basic stats...
Weight- (I don't know) but he's still riding in style in the baby bucket car seat at 16mo. Tyler moved out of it at 11mo but Grant's just so much smaller he still fits comfortably and is safer anyway. I keep thinking we should switch him, and I'm sure we will soon, but I'm not in a rush either!

Height- (I don't know) but he needs longer pants these days even though his waist is still tiny.

Clothes- 9/12 month pants but sometimes 18 month,, 18 month shirts
Diaper- size 3 or 4 overnight
Sleeping- 7pm bedtime, 7am wake up (or whenever Tyler does) with only 1 2-hour nap most days
