16 Months Old!

How is Finley 16 months old?!  We set up a lemonade stand at Grandma's house for pictures....they came out great!  She loved drinking the lemonade:)

Weight: 21 lbs 10 oz

Height: 29.75 inches

Teeth: Two bottom teeth, four top teeth!

I love to: 

• Go for "woks"  in the morning.  If it is time for a walk, I will make sure to bring you the dog leashes. I like to point out trees, the letters on signs, rocks, bunnies, etc. 
• MUSIC!  I say "music" and point to the remote or TV to turn on Pandora.  Country music is still my favorite.  
• I love when Grandma shows me the Old MacDonald song on her phone.  
• I love to go out in the front yard and walk around after dinner.  I am getting pretty fast!  We look at the bees on the flowers and sometimes play with bubbles.  
• I still love playing in the pantry.  I like to chew on bars that I find and point out what I want to eat.  
• Play with Marley and Jack.  My favorite is getting inside my inflatable flamingo pool toy and pushing it around while chasing Marley.  I get mad when Marley won't play with me and scream his name.  
• READ.  I now point to the couch and put the books that I want to read on it and yell "Read" over and over until someone sits down to read to me.  I also spend time pulling books out and reading them to myself. 
• Getting out all of the workout bands and slides when Mama turns on Beachbody to do her workout. 
• For Dada to hold me in the flying position and fly towards Marley!  I throw a tantrum when he stops! haha

I can: 

• Said my first "sentence"- "Mar Mar night night" when Marley laid down on his bed. 
• Climb stairs. 
• Give hugs and kisses. 
• Get down off of the couch by myself. 
• Put things away where they belong and throw trash away when asked. 
• Say and point out the letters - A, B, C, S, O 
• Use remotes to turn the lights on and off. 
• Help Mama put laundry in the dryer. 
• Wipe off my face and hands. 
• Pretend play with my baby - feed her a bottle and pretend play with my tea set at Grandma's house.
