Happy Birthday, baby boy.
I swear you've been 16 months for a while now; this age seems to be your "forever 21" (yet it's only just begun!)
The month was full of excitement and you seemed to mature so much.
You understand about 90% of what I say to you now, which has made my life a lot easier:
"George, go get your shoes."
"where is your coat?"
"will you get me a diaper?"
It's very much working in my favor :)
Lots of new stuff going on this month:

Lots of new stuff going on this month:
- When I tell you it's time to go, you eagerly find your shoes and coat. And if Sissy is dragging herself around (as 3 year olds
stubbornlydo!), you happily get her shoes and coat too. Team work, mah man! - You're into everything: opening or climbing the oven (seriously.), turning on the TV through the cable box when I hide the remote, opening the dishwasher and taking dishes out, or trying to open doors (thank God for knobs!)... reliving this through the written word exhausts me all over again!
- You're now taking one nap a day, typically from noonish-3.
- You love sucking the juice out of oranges, but yesterday you finally started eating the whole thing. Yay fiber!
- Me: "GG, what does a bee say?" You: "pfffffffffff" (farting sound) :)
- You think feeding Millie your breakfast / lunch / dinner is hilarious. Sissy and I both yell at you, but you just look up and smile. Poor Millie is already starting to look a bit more plump!
- "Duce Due" = Curious George. Don't ask, but I guarantee it sounds eerily correct (you have to hear it to believe it!)
- You're wickedly good at finding Abigail in her I Spy picture book. It's freaky!
- You insist on reading a book while having your diaper changed. It's like an old man restroom tendency, already surfacing :)
- You've turned into quite the Daddy's Boy, clinging to him each night when he comes home.
You have such a zest for learning and love, George!
It's an honor to spend my days with you, exploring this big, amazing world by your side.
I love you.
