Mr. John M. will be 16 months old tomorrow. The original purpose of this blog was to serve as a diary to record memories and have a 'snapshot' of various points in time. So, I figured I'd make a little list of John's favorite things at 16 months. Here goes. John, this one is for you:Your favorite foods:
1.) Chocolate! (any way, any shape, any form). You'll even take candy bars with nuts and store the nuts in your chipmunk cheeks only to spew them out later without a lick of chocolate to be seen on them.
2.) Bananas - I can't keep bananas in the house for more than a couple of days.
3.) Corn - you love it, for any meal. Only it shows up in your diaper daily. Yuck.
Your favorite words (well, your ONLY words):
1.) M-maw (maw-maw) - you are really cute when you say this because for some reason, you try to say it and move your lips as little as possible. And you puff out your mouth a little like a blowfish.
2.) Uh-oh - this has been a favorite for a while after you toss things across the room.
3.) Da-da
You also like to moo and such.
Your favorite things to do:
1.) Play outside. Any minute of any day, rain, sleet, or snow, you'll go outside. you love it!
2.) Dance. Boy, you just have the music and me and sometimes, you have to let it out.
3.) Take a bath! This is a new one. In the past month or two, you've developed a liking for playing in the water. Look out, Blue Bayou Water Park, here we come this summer!
4.) Ride the Kawasaki mule with Daddy and look at the cows and the horses.
Your biggest talent:
1.) Wrapping everyone around your finger in no time flat. John M., you have us all wrapped, every single person that knows you. You have such a sweetness about you and you're always willing to give us a hug and a kiss (which for you, is leaning your little head right into ours). If someone is upset, you're the first one to walk up and comfort them. There's nothing we like better than that.
You're my boy. And Daddy's boy. And Anna and Emma's boy too. We've been waiting for you all along. We just didn't know it.

That is an awefully cute picture of John M!! Happy 16 months!
What a cutie!! Love the cheeks! Great hair too!
I have a 14 month old and he loves chocolate too. Its amazing how they know what candy looks like at that age. We can blame the older kids, they'll never know.
If I don't get the wrapper off quick, he starts chewing on it trying to get the chocolate out of it. Wrapper and all.
Yay sixteen months! :) What a sweet post and a great record of his "here and now" at this age. You know yourself how fast they change.
He's so cute you could just spread him on a cracker...
What a beautiful post for a beautiful boy. He'll love it someday.
He's a very lucky little boy!
btw - I love the giraffe, lol!!
Such a beautiful little boy, Renee!
A year and a third!
I thought for sure you's say his talent was for filling up his diaper with corn!

What a lovely idea (and, it goes without saying, what an adorable little boy!) Please be advised that I might have to steal this idea for Simon's 2nd b-day next week. My lawyers will be in touch...
