16 Months Old

It has been a tough month. The days are getting both shorter and colder and Jonathan hasn't been able to play outside very much. He has been sick. He's had a fever, congestion and a cough for most of the past week. His new and incoming teeth also seem to be bothering him. All in all, he's been pretty cranky and has had trouble sleeping.

But he is also having a lot of fun. He's very steady on his feet and he trots all around the house. He climbs on chairs and tables. He picks up the telephone, or Daddy's cell phone, or anything that looks like a phone, and holds it up to his ear and says, 'llo, 'llo. He shakes his head side to side and sometimes waves his arms when he wants to say no. He plays with trucks and goes vroom, vroom, vroom. He loves to chase his sisters around. And at night, he gets in his warm pajamas and picks up Goodnight Moon and climbs on Daddy's lap and smiles while we read it. He is a good boy.
