16 months

No, the toaster is not plugged in. The other day I went to use my toaster and it wasn't working...now I know why!

George is starting to take more interest in Joe...real soon, they will be best buds.

Oooo, camera!

Joe turned 16 months on Thursday. I know its such a cliche, but he is growing so fast. He is REALLY in to books these days. One day this week, he woke up from his nap and it was around lunch time. So I proceeded to take him to his highchair and attempt to feed him lunch. He was crying with every bite and then started refusing food. This isn't like him and I knew he took a long enough nap (2 1/2 hours!), so I started down the list of what could be wrong...starting with his diaper, so we changed that...still crying. As we are walking out of his room, he tries to lunge out of my arms towards his bookshelf. I grab a book and he goes from crying to laughing in 1/2 second. I read him his book...he's happy, we can continue eating lunch. I mean, I like to read a good book, but I would much rather eat! Needless to say, we are reading the same 3 books over and over and over. He has more books, but there are only 3 he wants right now. Its so cute though...I love my little boy!

He is walking more and more, but would still rather crawl. He might be crawling down the aisle for his high school graduation at the rate we are going. My cousin told me her little girl was 17 months before she decided to walk...hopefully he will be completely walking by Halloween as his costume will be much cuter with him walking in it, rather than crawling. He looks so CUTE in his costume. I can't wait to post pictures!
