16 Months Old

Yesterday Ashton was officially 16 months old. He is changing a lot these days; still a high energy and spirited little boy, but some new things include:
  • He has a new found passion for books! We could read all day and he would be completely content.
  • Some of his new words include: 'night-night", "cracker" and "bug". He makes a great effort to mimic things we say and some words come out clearer than others, but all is understood.
  • He has started his very first 'baby class'. I finally found a program that fits into our schedule where I can spend a bit of time exclusively with Asthon. The class is 30 mins of reading and singing and 30 mins of gym time. He is a bit shy in the group setting and regularly signs to me that he is 'all done!', but during the gym time he is all smiles and a ball full of energy! I am hoping he becomes most accustomed to playing with kids his own age.
  • For the last week he has shown more interest in eating fruits and veggies than meat or bread. Some nights *all* he eats for supper is carrots...or broccoli. Handfuls and nothing else. I find this rather rare....and I am sure it won't stick around!
