Porter--16 months

Porter is almost 16 months so it's time for a little update on what he's doing now!

• He is 33" and 23.2 pounds--75th and 25th percentile respectively--so he's tall & skinny!! Not something I would use to describe neither Ryan nor I!
• Eats EVERYTHING and loves to "dip" his food (see below)
• loves ice, but after two choking episodes he's not allowed to have any anymore!
• still sleeps ALOT...though I've almost got him down to just one mid-day nap (we're working on it)
• says alot of words and is starting to add more every day: ball, mama, dada, dog, goo (juice), kitty cat, up, down, shoe, piggies (wewere at Regina's the other night and they have guinea pigs and she was telling Porter to say "hi" to the piggies and he kept saying piggies over and over all night and even woke up saying it the next morning! He loved the guinea pigs!) no and some others that he says sometimes!
• speaking of saying "NO"--he's heard me say it so much that he will now say "mama, NO, NO, NO!" when he's not happy with me! Usually after I've told him no about something!
• loves to play outside (we are really enjoying the cooler weather) and loves to go see the ducks down at the lake and usually throws a screaming fit when we have to leave
• still loves to dance to any music =)
• is very busy all of the time and climbs up and down on everything
• loves to see Ryan when he comes home and gets to excited! and when Ryan is here, he wants his daddy to himself--he pushes me away and says "no, mama"!
• we just found out that he doesn't like to share his toys! Lane was over the other day and Porter was very possessive of his toys--it didn't bother him at all when I was holding or playing with her, but he didn't want her to touch any of his stuff (we're going to have to work on this)
• Loves all balls and can spot one a mile away! Will also call anything round "ball" usually
• has associated "night-night" with getting his paci and will usually say "night-night" before he's ready for bedtime or a nap just to go up to get his paci
• very attached to his green blanket and cannot sleep without it
• says "wooffff" when you ask him what a dog says (we're working on some other animal sounds now)
• if you ask him where his nose/eye/mouth are he points them out on you!
• will show you his teeth though when you ask and usually laughs about it!
• if you ask "how old are you, porter?" will hold up one finger and says "one"
• starting to sign a little and can do the sign for "more" pretty good
• really really needs a haircut (getting one next week finally) to get rid of the "mullet"!

That's all I can think of now! It's time for the MSU/LSU game so I've got to go watch it!! Go DAWGS!!
