Gabe is 16 months today! Here a few fun little tidbits.*He's saying all sorts of words (about 12). Most of them, only I know what he means like 'puh' for grapes. But some are legit words that someone else could actually understand. 'Cracker' is his best word these days.
*Speaking of talking...he's saying 'mama' for real. He's said it here and there for awhile, but I was never totally convinced he was saying it about me. I know he is now. He'll look for me or at me saying "mama." It's a slightly different tone and inflection. I just melt every time I hear it.
*At his 15mos check-up he was 32inches tall (about 85th %-tile) and 25lbs, 6 oz (about 50th %-tile).
*In his world, all stuffed animals are 'bear,' all vehicles are 'car,' and all cats are 'puh' (as in Posie, our cat).
*He starting to test his limits just a bit with me now. If he wants something he can't have, he looks at me, puffs out his chest and grunts. It's quite funny, but I'm starting to learn to keep a straight face.
*He shows his excitement by yelling 'ahhhhh', vigorous clapping and spinning around. It's so cute and contagious.
Can't believe how time flies!

happy 16 months, Gabe! you're learning/doing so much!!!
Time does fly! And Gabe is getting cuter and more lovable everyday! I cracked up when I read he puffs out his chest and grunts, ha!
This new picture really makes him look like a big boy! Happy 16 months, Gabe!
Happy 16th months Gabe! Look how big you've gotten! I just love the smile on your face!
Happy 16 months, Gabe! So exciting to hear all you are doing. Love all your words, especially "mama." We've started hearing that around here much more lately...and it also means something now. LOVE IT! Love the "puff his chest" move...sounds funny...flexing his independence. Great new "stats" on growth.
happy 16 months! love the chest puffing!
What a cutie, and I love the Tea shirt he has on!!
awesome update! Yay for "mama"!
Wow, Gabe - Happy 16 Months to you!!
I, too, am fond of the word "cracker."
It just goes by so fast doesn't it? Happy 16 months Gabe!
Happy 16 months, Gabe!!! You are such a cutie patootie!!
Ahhh, testing limits. Noah does that a bit too much around here. He's such a smarty pants that while he is on his way to do something he knows he is not allowed to, he says, "Mmmm Hmmmm!" Or "Uhhh Huhhhh!" Yes, my child mocks me and imitates me. :)
Love the chest-puffing. We're gonna need video on that.
Happy 16 months Gabe!! This is a great list! We know all about testing limits here too... and I *love* that you are hearing Mama more and more! (Is it sad that I can no longer remember hearing it for the first time?!)
Happy 16th months!
I want to hear his speaking in English! :)
Happy 16 months, Gabe! Gabe looks so happy and is clearly thriving with you! I love all of his words, and have fun with the tantrum thing! :)
Such a cute picture of little Gabe. I loved reading all of the great things he is doing - especially the part of about his reaction to sheer excitement. :)
I love this update! He looks so happy. 12 words, my goodness! Yaaay for saying mama! D is at that point (like you were saying) where I think he says it, but I'm not really positive it's about me. Hopefully he'll be right behind Gabe!
Happy 16 months Gabe! You are one precious little guy.
