Mentally:
-knows sooo many words, I can not count them. And will attempt to "say" any word you ask him. New favorites of mine include: peease (for please), tank ew (for thank you), wa wa (for water), juice, sissy (this is super cute to hear), yo yo(for yogurt), co-mon, ayi (for ali), duto (for dustin), cacka (for cracker) and cookie! I wann baa (for I want a bath). Eat eat (when hes ready to eat)
-knows when he pees or poops and points to his diaper and says "peepee"
-after he has peed or pooped he goes to sit on the potty :) better than nothing right? but he will go on his own (I mean to sit on it)
-enjoys taking things to the trash when you are finished. if he finds something he thinks is trash, he will take it on his own.
-points to eyes, nose, ears, and says the associated words with pointing.
-goes to get in high chair when he is ready to eat
-remembers where things were when he first noticed them. For example..if a ball is stuck somewhere, and then we remove it, he will go back days later and say "ball?" He remembers and understands where the hamper is etc.
Socially:
-is pretty rough! he does not like to share unless he initiates it, and can somewhat attack in a matter of seconds. usually attacks are direct and to the point. haha.
-Only goes to close friends and family. Does not like and will not go to anyone he does not know.
-Loves to watch children playing, or people working outdoors, and is more likely to go to them if they are doing something interesting.

-Says hi and bye and waves for both to pretty much anybody
-will talk on the phone to pretty much anybody.
-loves to play "around" other kids and gets excited and runs crazy if they are
-not fond of mommy holding or showing attention to other kids while he is in the room
-will giggle at children from across the room to try and get their attention
Likes:
-Waffles! he eats them every morning for breakfast! Our routine: We put the waffle in the toaster, we get the syrup out of the pantry, he runs to get in his high chair, I put him in it, get the waffle, tear it up into approximatley 14 peices, and proceed to put one drop of syrup on every peice as we count. :)
-LOVES yogurt!
-LOVES juice!
-Still enjoying anything with a motor. Wants to plug things in and make them go!
-Sadly, still addicted to that pesky little bottle.
-Likes riding toys, and things he can climb onto to play
-Enjoys cell phones, play phone, real phones! Any kind of phone. Or anything that looks like a phone. he consistently puts them to his ear and says, "hew-wooo"
-sweets! I did my best to avoid the sweets as long as I could, and to be honest, elem really doesnt get that many, but he does get a few. As seen below, a cupcake on birthday day at my school. :)
-animals-of all kinds, mostly cats, dogs, and birds around here
-harmonicas-he is soo good at it! he can play for ever!
-open and close doors around the house
Dislikes:
-his hands being dirty or sticky
-his yogurt getting on his tummy when he is eating it
-anyone telling him no for anything at all
-when someone tries to hold him that he does not know.
--waking him up when he is not ready. He becomes super grumpy, and you will regret it for at least 30 minutes
-still scared of elevators
-frightened to death of stethoscopes
-calling it quits in the bath tub-never ready to get out
-not a fan of getting dressed. Usually a challenge to get the clothes over his head and on his legs
-HATES having his hair brushed-unless he is the one doing it
This was sort of a rush, so not too much detail in this one. But I did my best. 17 months is right around the corner, so Ill update those normally and hopefully can think of some really god new milestones he has achieved. Like ...read his first book and what not. :)
