The Lees' Ledger: Sixteen Months

I cannot believe it is December. And, Mommy & Daddy cannot believe that I am already 16 months old - they keep trying to slow down time but they haven't figured out how to do it yet.
I now have all 4 molars. This means that I get to try to eat all sorts of new things. I still don't like raw veggies, so Mommy is still steaming those for me. Mommy is thankful that I am such a good eater. And, I really LOVE fruit. My newest favorites are oranges and blackberries. If I am really sweet, Mommy will even peel the little Mandarin Oranges (cuties) for me. This is a labor of love because I sometimes choke on the inside skin, so she not only peels off the outside skin, she then has to peel each individual piece - which is no small task with a little mandarin orange. I know she loves me when I get to munch on these. I like the big oranges too but the little ones are so much sweeter and so much more fun to watch Mommy try to peel. :)

I continue to learn lots of new things. This week I showed Daddy how I can stack rings on a pole (you know - those colorful toys with lots of rings that stack around the pole). Daddy didn't know I could do this (because just last week I would get frustrated and give up, moving on to another toy). So, I surprised him one morning this week when I stacked all of them on the pole.
I also got a new toy. Mommy was on nursery duty at church a few weeks ago and noticed that I enjoyed playing with this 3in1 bike toy. Later that day, she found one on Craigslist and we went and picked it up and cleaned it all up for me. I am enjoying learning all that it can do.

My other favorite thing is for Daddy to throw me up in the air and catch me. I just giggle with laughter. And, then when he puts me down, I pull on his pants until he picks me up to do it again. Before they know it, I will be saying, "Again, Daddy, Again!" Here's hoping Daddy's shoulder doesn't give out anytime soon.
