Mason 16 Months

Weight: We are still growing and according to the home scale that Mason likes to get on daily he weighs 26lbs.

Height: I feel like he is getting taller by the minute. I need to get one of those big rulers to measure how tall Mason is getting. Some days, I think he looks huge.

Eats: Mason has slowed way down on food. Maybe because he isn’t growing as much or something. He loves rice and noodles. He loves fish more than chicken. His favorite food right now are blackberries. The kid could eat a entire container of blackberries.

What he is enjoying: He is such a happy baby. The weather has been a lot nicer and we have been spending a lot more time outside. He loves to wander the yard and pick up Gabby’s toys and throw them for her.

Teeth: 12 teeth total. He is cutting a canine tooth right now. I swear this tooth is causing more problems than the molars caused. We are waking up early and being just a little extra fussy. Please Please come in already. I can see the white just mocking us through the gums.

Talking: Mason is just jibber jabbering a ton lately! Not making much sense. He will try and repeat everything we say. Time to be very aware what comes out of our mouths. While I was gone last week, Michael told me he said walrus and airplane. Haha. Repeater!

What’s new this month? We have had a big month. Mason is running everywhere and is into everything. This is causing so much fun for him. The only problem is that when we redirect him or have to tell him no, we turn into an emotional basket case. I feel like we are turning into terrible 2s. I can imagine it is very frustrating not being able to communicate and not understanding. Mason’s favorite no no thing to do is play in the dog water. He like to step his foot/shoe into it every chance he gets. We have started time out and he gets so mad when we talk to him about why. Tears galore. This phase hopefully passes soon.  

Playing at the dinner table. He loves to push the chair out. Makes me nervous that he is going to tip over. Mason is wearing 24 months clothing here. 24 months at 16 months old!! WHAT WHAT!
