16 months..

Asher Riley, you are over 16 months old.  You are such a big boy and livin' life to the fullest.  Your hair is extremely long and you already need another hair cut.

You love any type of glasses.  You take your shades with you and love wearing them while outside.  You're trying to figure out how to wear them on your head like Mommy.

You have become a picky little eater.  You want to hold everything and feed yourself.  You do not like your food to be torn into small pieces.  You will eat an entire chicken strip, sometimes two or three.  One day you love chicken, the next day you hate it.  You love love love bread!  You don't always want to finish your milk but will drink your juice dry.

You love eating out at restaurants.  You are still pretty patient and do very well.  But you do have your moments when you randomly shout or want to throw your food on the floor.  

Daddy's trying to teach you early how to mow.  He thinks you will love it one day.  You do enjoy riding around with him.

You love digging in the dirt and doing all things boyish.  You would stay outside literally all day long if we would let you.  You sometimes pitch a little fit when we have to come inside.  You walk over to our shoe basket about 100 times a day and try to put your shoes on in hopes that Mommy will take you outside to play.

You rode on GJ and Papaw's little car with Josie for the first time.  You seemed to enjoy it.  Josie held on to you tight and was determined to not let you fall off.

Told you, you love your glasses.

You love swinging and playing at the park.  

You are such a trooper while Mommy walks.  I honestly think you enjoy it because we've taken walks since you were about 2-3 months old.  The stroller has always been a friend of yours.  You have it made it the shade, son!

We love taking walks and playing with sweet friends.

Your facial expressions are priceless.  You make an "o" face whenever you do something your not suppose to.  You smile just like Mommy and show all of your teeth.  You have your front teeth and all four molars.  You like to show how sharp they are by bitting Mommy.  It. isn't.pleasant.

  

You love drinking out of a straw.  Especially if it's sweet tea.

Cars, cars, cars. You love cars.  They can entertain you forever.  You even use Mommy's body as a track sometimes.

You laugh and smile all the time.  You will smile at almost anyone and love talking to other babies.  We have to tell you "easy easy" because you want to love and hug all over them.

You are still a great sleeper.  You take one nap a day, sometimes two if you get really tired.  You are in bed by 8:15 and sleep till about 8:00 every morning.  You love chillin' out in your bed and propping your legs up on the crib.

You are looking more and more like a boy and losing the baby face, I think.  You are your Daddy's twin and make so many of his faces.  You wear 18mo pants/shorts and 18-24mo shirts.  Your shoe size is 5.  Big Boy!

You love to be wild and loud!  You and Daddy have shouting competitions all the time.  You think it's funny when Mommy sings.  You dance while I sing and then clap.  You make me so happy.

You love all over Mommy and give me the best hugs.  You wrestle with Daddy and tackle him.  You have the sweetest heart and tough skin.  You fall all the time and bounce right back up like nothing.

We love you wild man!!  Keep being you.
