Milestone Minutes - 16 Months

Alright, so it is only the second Milestone Minutes ever published but really...this is getting tough. I mean each second there is something new and funny that they learn or do. Milestone Minutes number 2 was really a challenge...I mean what should I include and what should I not in the interest of saving real estate? Anyway here's my best shot:
New Words:
Juice, Obama (did not teach him…he saw him on the news and started saying his name:)), Tiger (as in Tiger Woods…said this clearly a couple of times…recently we cannot reproduce:(), Bubbles, Uh Oh

New Signs:
Baby, please, touchdown, bright

New Sounds:
Choo Choo (Train), gobble gobble (Turkey), cluck cluck (Chicken)

New Favorite Foods:
Dim Sum (always liked this), Chicken Strips, Apple Juice in the Juice Box, Raisins (as always), Pomegranate, Persimmons, Edamame (as always), Flax Seed Waffles with Peanut Butter, Ham, Grapes (we are in trouble if they are not in stock!)

Rascal Traits:
- He hates his diaper changed so he now makes us chase him, tackle him, and the wrestle with him while we clean him up…all while he kicks and screams! Often times he will pee on the floor between diapers...YIKES:(
- He has started to hit us and pinch us when he is frustrated…the biting has slowed down a bit but he still does it when he is tired or hungry…ugh
- He fights us and purses his lips when we brush his teeth…short of pinning him down it is virtually impossible to brush them effectively:(
- He is still a finicky eater
- He throws his toys when he is mad or frustrated
- He always needs his puppy (from Black Dog Restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard…given to him by Aunt Lex and Uncle John). He calls puppy “woof woof”. We ended up ordering 2 more from their online store because we can’t be caught without puppy!

Other Notables this Month:
- He cracks himself up when he toots
- He takes a bath by himself now (I used to always get in with him:))
- He turned 16 months and all of the sudden he loves TV…would not watch for more than 2 minutes before now. Not sure I like this. He loves Thomas the Train! Points the remote at the TV and says “Choo Choooo”. So now we have one episode each day usually at breakfast time
- He now hides when he poos:)
- He now tries to open doors:(
- He now LOVES school…Yippy!
- He saw the Rockettes with Babs and now does the Rockettes high kick…HA!
- He scrunches his nose when something is stinky
- He voted in his first election (well I voted and he stood in line with me for 1.5 hours entertaining those in line with us)
- He started to pretend play…usually uses his food and pretends it is a car:)
- He gets excited when he sees pictures of his friends from playgroup and school
- He now sits at the table and uses a plate (thanks to BB)
- He can run fast now…I love the sound of his little feet pitter pattering on the floor!
- He sings Led Zeppelin…screeches on the high pitch parts!
