Betcha thought this was going to be about the NCAA tournament, BYU, and Jimmer. Not so. It was a great game tonight, but I am still disappointed they tripped at the finish line. Focus, Shilo. Dylan has reached sweet 16 months. The stats/highlight reel:
*He has 5 teeth. He added his top right lateral incisor, right next to his missing top right front tooth. It looks like he has already lost a tooth. Sweet grill.
*He grabs his feet when I ask, "Where are your toes?"
*He will spontaneously say "Happy day" and start laughing.
*He loves to go "ouside" (outside) and take a "ride." He didn't say the final 'd' sound until recently. I emphasized it so much that he now does also. Kind of funny.
*When I make the bzzzzz sound he says "bee." At the Phoenix zoo he saw some cows and said "moo."
*He points to the moon and says "moon" and to his knee and says "knee."
*He says "Hi," "Hey-oh" (Hello), "Bye-Bye," "Hi, puppa" (puppy), and "Hey baby," though sometimes he has a few second delay.
*He picked up on one of idiosyncrasies. He says, "I know!" with the same tone I use. Little parrot.
*He says "heo" when he needs help and "ow" when he wants out of something.
*He has learned to say "go," "apple," "hat," "sha-ba" (shovel), "wa-tee" (water) and "yigh" (light).
*When saying good night to his family picture collage, he can say "Mommy," "Daddy," "Mimi," "Papa," "Nana," "Maggie," "DeeDee," and sometimes "Ash."
*In an act of shameless self promotion, I taught him that when I ask, "Who loves mommy?" the correct response is, "I do!" Now he will also do it sometimes for others.
*He hasn't done it many times, but he can make a tower using 4 blocks.
*When given a veggie medley, he always eats his peas, then carrots, then the corn. Not sure if it is a taste or color thing.
*We are trying to break his habit of throwing food. Also the one where he thinks it's funny to high-5 people in the face. Oh, and squealing like a little girl. Not cool.
*When music plays he stomps his feet and/or waves his arms.
*He loves any type of "bahwh" (ball) and throws them, interestingly enough many times with his left hand.
The stat I need to figure out for him is how many airplane rides he has been on since his 1st one to PA last spring break. He is quite the frequent flyer and loves the "airbahs"...especially the Southwest ones. Haha. 
I can't believe he's 16 months already! Two months til nursery!! We just made Abby pick up the food she threw on the floor. She usually ate it but we didn't really care and she stopped throwing her food fairly quickly once she had to clean it up.
