16 Months

We have a little outdoorsman on our hands! Branner loves playing and being outside! Whether it be at the park or our yard, he definitely prefers the great wide open. He continues to be sweet and funny, but he definitely has an independent streak and has started having tantrums sometimes when he doesn't get his way. B is DEFINITELY a toddler! He is into everything and curious, curious, curious. He loves figuring out how things work and asking, "What's that?," which is an upgrade from, "That?!" We are enjoying him so much and can't wait until our pool opens up so we can cool off and have fun playing in the water!

Likes: Playing outside, visiting Jake--the dog across the street, loving on Chloe, playing fetch with Bailey, bike rides with Daddy, trips to the park and going down the slide, Monkey Joe's, gymnastics at Gymboree, tractors (also his new favorite word), bubbles, coloring, sidewalk chalk, wagon rides, Cozy Coupe rides, riding on his scooter and Sit-n-Scoot, cars, trucks, anything with wheels, baths--he loves sticking his face in the water and blowing bubbles, real picture books, Yo Gabba Gabba, Elmo, peek-a-boo and hide-and-go-seek, puzzles, giving hugs and kisses, Gigi and Big Papa, climbing all over our furniture, his bean bag, bounce houses, sunglasses, hats, making and taking calls on his toy phone, helping pick things up and putting them away, boat rides, water bottles, building things, etc., etc., etc.

Dislikes: Cutting molars, being told "no," and not getting his way.

Food: Meatballs, hotdogs, chicken, fish sticks, popcorn shrimp, turkey, whole wheat crackers, American cheese, pickles, cupcakes, Vanilla Wafers, squeeze fruit & veggies, broccoli, peas, carrots, bananas, apples, a marinated veggie salad I make, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, pancakes, waffles, this list could go on forever...

Clothing: 12-18 months in shirts, 9-12 month in shorts, size 5 shoes. He is able to wear all of his shorts, overalls and bathing suits from last year, which I CANNOT BELIEVE!
