Month 16

Dear Angus,

You turned 16 months old this month. Your little mind is growing so fast. You are so aware, alert and alive with curiosity.

You play, laugh, cry, hit, get angry, feel sad. You are one feisty little guy that does not stop for a second. Everything is an adventure for you.

If you see Jonas do or try something, well, there you are right behind him, getting ready to do the same. You climb on chairs, sit or stand at the table. You drink from a cup, a regular cup, not a sippy cup, and set it back on the table, like a big boy, which surprises many.

You use a fork or spoon when eating and throw it when done. You only give kisses if you feel like giving. I try to get one, but am turned down many times.

Today you let out a toot and you looked at me, I at you and we laughed together.

If you see a cookie or any snack and I offer you a piece, you throw it, because you don't just want a piece of it, you want the whole thing.

You throw yourself on the floor if you don't get your way and sometimes bang your head on the floor or wall, whatever is closest.

I can hand you something and ask you to throw it in the trash and you do. You walk over, open the lid and toss it in. ADORABLE!

"Mama" is THE word. Everything is "mama", even papa is "mama" these days or "ponbob". That is some influence your brother has on you. Every morning I hear you call for me in a sweet soft voice. There is nothing quite like it.

You make mess, after mess, after mess. It's all fine because I know you are learning about the world around you. But you know if you are doing something you are not supposed to, you walk away, with a pout in your lip. But you stop doing it. You listen.

What a difference a few months make, but I know this is the beginning. More mischief awaits and I am so ready for more.

Love,

Mom

Pasta anyone?

Month 14

Dear Angus,

You are 14-months old this month.  Your personality shines through so much.  You are a goofy little boy who loves to explore.  

You like to pick on your big brother.  If he's watching t.v., you walk up to it, press buttons or turn it off.  This makes Jonas so mad.  He has never before mentioned that he doesn't want you around, until now.  He said, "Put him back in your belly."  You like to bug him so.  You even make sure he is watching you do this, so that he can chase you, while you start running away, giggling.  

You are so rough.  You climb, jump, crawl on anything.  You try to jump on beds, climb on tricycles. You get mad if someone takes the hose from you, because you love getting wet.  

Oh, and the tantrums are here.

Oh, the tantrums, but the good thing is you get over them quickly. We distract you and then they are forgotten.  

I love this age!

You even water the plants.  You've seen us do it so many times that I've watched you stand over the lantanas, hold the hose right over them and water them.  You then walk over to the next plant in front of you.  

You dance every time you hear music, which then, makes all of us want to dance.  You love holding our phones, pressing the buttons and sticking them in your mouth.  Big NO-NO!  

Jonas has a new nickname for you, Ve-ve, like Bebe, in spanish. 

Some nights you sleep through the night, other nights are not so good.  

I love it when you snuggle up close to me when someone else is trying to talk to you.  You get a little shy and rest your head on my chest.  My sweetie!  

Oh, buddy boo, you are so cute.  I can't help but hug and kiss you every time you walk by me or while you are getting ready for nap time.  We get to cuddle after big bo goes to bed. That is our time together.

Love you,

Mom

 

Chub

I don't want this chubbiness to go away.  It is too sweet to look at.  I am pretty sure it will stick around for quite some time, because boy can he eat, and eat.  

So, I am thankful for that.  

bru-bru

Yesterday you woke up earlier than jonas and you and I were lying on "grandma's bed" when jonas walked in. I said, "good morning!" And you said, "bru-bru."

You almost said it-brother. Jonas had a big smile on his face. He was happy.

It was adorable!
