Dylan at 16 Months

- Loves to read.
- His favorite books are “Noisy Farm” & “The very hungry caterpillar”.
- Loves to go to swim lessons and started to kick his legs. Will do the “kitty/doggie” arm movements every so often.
- Started to become a picky eater. Will push food away when he does not want it and say “No”. Uses the fork and is doing pretty good with it.
- Still uses “No” all the time for anything.
- Will pick a book out of his toy boxes, bring it to mommy or daddy, crawl in our lap and wants us to read to him. Melts my heart.
- Loves watching DVD’s in daddy’s car. His favorite are “Elmo” and “Thomas the train”. Will point to the ceiling when he is in the car seat and indicate that he wants to watch a movie.
- Will throw his sippy cup left or right when he is done. Little Stinker.
- Is running. Loves to be chased around the house and will run away and laugh hysterical when I tell him that I get him and tickle him.
