16 months

Sorry for the lapse in posting! Jack turned 16 months last week, and he is quickly becoming a toddler. He cruises around the coffee table, up and down the sofa, and along his pack n play. He's a fast crawler, and is pretty quick going up stairs too. He hasn't really figured out going down stairs yet though, he can go down one step, and then his inclination is to lean backwards and fall. Crazy hair - it dried this way after I washed the tomato sauce out of it from dinner. He's doing great feeding himself - not with a spoon yet, just his hands. He really likes ethnic foods - curry, black beans from Chipotle, pickled okra and crab cakes (I guess Southern isn't really ethnic!), Cajun jambalaya and spiced rice, and teriyaki salmon. He also loves kalamata olives, pasta with marinara sauce, and most fruits.
Enjoying the nice weather we had last week.


He really enjoys playing in the dirt, and right after this picture he ate some before we could stop him. Yuck. We're looking at getting him a baby pool - but there are hundreds to pick from! Inflatable or molded plastic? Any suggestions? It can't be too big - I think it will need to stay on the deck so we don't kill part of the lawn.
