My Silly Little Man

Turner is 16 months old and a handful! He is so full of energy and fun. He loves his "yuck" (paci), which we are soon going to be getting rid of, and is Maddie's biggest fan. He isn't a big talker but does say "momma, daddy, nonna, mimi, boo boo, ney ney, snack, all gone, come on, bye bye, night night, Mae Mae (Maddie), milk, more, bowl, please, feet, stinky, thank you, go go, bath, spoon, and probably a few others. Did you notice that most of those revolve around food?? He loves to eat and usually eats well. He is a great milk drinker and big kisser. He thinks it is hilarious to run around naked, and we are often chasing him trying to put his diaper on.

He loves taking a bath. You say the word and he is running down the hall trying to jump in the tub. He still loves playing kitchen. He is always cooking up something. He can point to his nose, eyes, ears, mouth and feet. He will smell your feet and scrunch up his nose. He thinks it is so funny to have "stinky feet". He always wants whatever Maddie has at the moment. I can't believe I thought we could buy one guitar in Gatlinburg. Maddie wanted the guitar, and we got Turner a dog that barks and walks. He liked it in the store. He hasn't looked at it since we have been home. He always wants the guitar. I see duplicate purchases in our future. He loves being held...all the time...by me. He claps a lot, does little jigs around the room, and likes to play patty cake. He is such a blessing to us and keeps us entertained.

Swats on the bottom aren't very effective. Most of the time he laughs. He is very mischevious. At least 10 times a day, he turns the tv off and gets in trouble. He doesn't care if we spank him, minutes later he is doing it again. He loves turning his milk upside down and getting the couch and furniture sopping wet. I am so glad our couches are old and not real valuable to us. I can guarantee they will be ruined before Turner gets out of toddlerhood. I was afraid we were going to have another biter on our hands. He has done it on occasion, but I am crossing my fingers it won't be habit forming. He has already gotten hot sauces-he wasn't such a big fan:) I think he has twelve teeth. For the longest time he only had four. Well they are now popping in left and right. For the biting purposes, we rarely stick our fingers in his mouth to check. But he does have a mouthful:)

He loves to feed himself and if we aren't about to go anywhere, I usually let him (I posted a picture from lunch today-as you can see it gets messy) He loves playing in clothes and "helping with laundry"-again I posted another picture. He is our sweet little man that is growing way too fast. He learns a lot from his big sister and keeps us on our toes! We love our little Turner man!!!
