16 months.

Oh.my.word.

I cant believe that whittaker

is 16 months old,

oh how time flies.

Whitt- you my child are a light. You keep me on my toes all day long. You might look like me but sweet son you have energy like your dad. It is never ending. You constantly want to be outside running around or pretending you are big enough to ride your tricycle (even though it is really me pushing you... I will still let you think you are doing all the work). You are talking non-stop and are very independent. Son, you have become sweeter and sweeter- you will now just walk up to me and want to cuddle or plant a big kiss on my cheek- it melts my heart every time and I dread the day you stop. You have also developed a little but of a temper, you would never know it with how sweet you can be but little man when you are mad you let everyone know about it. I will just call you strong willed for now. Son, thank you for keeping me on my toes. I look forward to everyday I get to chase you around!

Things I dont want to forget:

*You "breaking" into the laundry room everyday, multiple times,

to get a coke even though you know you cant have it.

*You now only take one 3 hour nap a day

*You climb in and out of the bathtub even

though it does not have water in it.

*You love shoes

*You are still sleeping 12 hours a night

*Your favorite foods are grapes, beans, rice, strawberries, hot sauce and veggie nuggets

*You can say mommy, dada,thank you, moo, duck, NieNie

(what you call your Aunt Whitney), shoes, dog, deer

*How you break down the baby gate to play chase

*You hate having your diaper changed

*You love to play in your crib

*You love for me to read to you

*you start to shimmy or clapping after doing something wrong in hopes that I will think that you are too cute for consequences.

*You push your trucks around and say, "vroom"

Happy 16 months Mr. Whittaker Overstreet,

your mom and Dad

love you to the moon!
