Sixteen Months!

Dear Vinny,

On Tuesday, you turned sixteen months. Unfortunately, I have been under the weather and unable to write much until now.

You've been learning a lot more words. For "milk," you hear only the final consonant and call it "k" (like you did with "light"). You know your nose, mouth, ears, and eyes pretty consistently if we ask you where they are. You think most four-legged creatures are dogs, and that they all say "oof" (that's "woof" without the w).

Last night when you and I were playing together, you peered between the handle and main body of your toy "workbench" and saw me. This was possibly the most hilarious thing ever. You then got a huge kick out of it when I poked my finger through there and beeped your nose.

You're not walking yet, but I think that you will do it soon. You enjoy jumping in your bouncy chair, cruising around the room, and dancing. You're good at walking if we hold your hand or if you're holding onto something.

You continue to be a very cheerful and happy boy. So far you have not succumbed to my illness, and I hope for your sake that you don't!

Love,
Mommy
