16 months!!

We have such a blast with Tank at this age!! Its fun that he still has a lot of babbling going on but really has a lot to say! He loves "a bath"!! He climbs in and out of the tub himself without the water running. As soon as he sees the water running he says "a bath." He even wanted to get in with Alvin during his bath!

He is saying lots of words: yes (to everything), no (he'll rarely say and doesn't use it appropriately),Nana, mama, dada, woof, baa, tractor, a bath, byebye, waves appropriate hi and bye, lets go-pats his leg, car (a little bit), varromm, ball, bubbles, nigh nigh, more, cheese, please, book, babbla (applesauce), shoes, points to feet for socks, he knows shoes and coat go on to go bye bye, .

Thanks to the inspiration from my friend in Hong Kong (her daughter is one week older) we have taught Tank: eyes,nose, mouth, ears, and belly. He points to them appropriately. We are working on baby in belly because he'll lift up my shirt and pat my pregnant belly.

He loves my neighbor's Tonka wagon. I was surprised he stayed seated, holding onto the sides. He loves the ride around our neighborhood.

We had a great car ride to IL for Thanksgiving. He has his hands in his mouth a lot again. Four more teeth to come then he'll have a full set. He had a couple restless nights in IL where he slept with me. He likes cuddling, twirling my hair, patting my back, putting his head on my shoulder.

His new animal sound other than woof, woof, is baa. Chip was brushing Alvin this morning (11/28) and Tank pointed to Alvin and said baa! LOL He recognizes pictures of dogs as well as real dogs and says "woof" so I guess Alvin just looked like a sheep when he was bathed and brushed!
