16 months! a few days late

Well 16 months have come and gone since Jayden entered our lives. Hard to believe. I didn't take any pictures on his 16 month birthday that were specifically for that purpose although the pictures with Grandma Gayle were that day. There's not a whole lot of new news around here but here are the cool things he is doing.

*he has started running now and can get places FAST
*is sleeping 12-13 hours a night and taking one long nap everyday (Mommy is LOVING one nap life)
*wearing mostly 18 month clothing like a big boy!
*talking up a storm still. his words include: ball, kittie, trash truck, off, on, daddy, papa, ba-PA, mama, mommy, baby, Eli, outside, car, hot dog, banana (nana), Stephanie (nef-nee), uh-oh...that's all I can think of for now. he is coming up with new ones everyday!!
*eating like crazy all the time. recently his favorites are hot dogs and chocolate chip pancakes!
*still just 6 teeth. he keeps acting like more are coming, we think see them on the way but NOTHING. so we're waiting.
*so so so so active. i would be exhausted if I just had him to keep up with! he is into everything all the time. phew, we're tired!!!

Basically, he's doing great. Growing like a weed and filling our lives with smiles.
