Sixteen Months

Big, busy, babbling.

At 16 months, you continue to be so fun and such a blessing.

You look like a little man.  Strong, stable, and sturdy.

You are always on the move.  So busy.  You move with a purpose.

Stacking, throwing, chasing, playing.

You have so much to say though pointing and grunting

often ends in frustration for all parties involved.

"Double day" is a favorite phrase though the meaning is unclear,

but you have taught the three of us to say it, many times throughout the day.

You've turned into a Daddy's boy this last month, 

and while that makes Mama's heart a little sad,

Daddy's heart soars with pride.

You're pretty fearless, really funny, and perfectly you.

Happy 16 months, Anderson!
