Oh yeah! I was scratching at one last thing to put in the last post...
He's in love with cars. How the hell Dad has rubbed off so quickly with this, IDK. Anyway, he's always pointing at cars, loves our cars and going for rides in them. He likes to walk along side our cars and touch all the screws, crevices and bumps. He points at everyone's car and makes a sound like: "Are we taking that one?" and "How about that one?" I wonder if he's wondering why we don't just take the coolest looking car each time we park in a place where there seems to be so many cars to choose from.

Just Messin' With Ya
Che-che Kul: Various
Smarty pants is back at it...being too smart for his own good. There have been a few things he's done, let me see if I can remember them all.
The one that stands out foremost is fake choking. Apparently I react to that one, because he uses it a lot. It's also not out of the ordinary that he chokes (well gags, not actual Heimlich gasping) so I have reason to drop everything and watch him (besides being an over protective parent). In addition, it's a symptom of allergies, so it's important that I make sure he's doing important things like breathing when he starts making those noises. It's his "pay attention to me" sound, ya know because I'm not doing that enough already. He usually does it while I'm making him food...for him...what a goober!
Because Mommy is sooooo adament about socks not going in Stefan's mouth, they continue to go there, now along with bibs , booties and shirts. Then they are carried around, like a dog with a toy, until he tires of the game. (Sorry if that is a repeat, he looks so absurd doing this).
He's developed this hilarious fake laugh complete with gafaws and squinted up eyes. He unleashed it on the mildly annoying lady at the S&S yesterday. It sounded like he was mimicking her and he gave it to her as she was begging for a smile from him. His switched off after a couple of seconds and his face went completely dead pan. Nice.
He knows his food cabinet, "chooses" his own food (well he grabs the jar he is sure he wants, though they all look pretty much the same despite the contents), immediately directs it toward the microwave by handing it to me and pointing where I need to go next. Then points for me to get him to the spoon pail. There he selects his favorite spoon of the minute, and by then, 30 seconds has elapsed and the food is ready.
The "Happy to Be Home Dance" (imagine jazz hands and vigorous head shaking) continues (I think I've mentioned that one). I know there is one more cheeky thing he's started doing, but I can't remember it now. Aight, ff to find a song to accompany this post...though OK GO Shoot the moon, I'm lovin' hearing that one when ever I preview my posts!

These are a few of my favorite things...
...about today.
1. We returned 2 repairs, hit the pharmacy, and the bank without indecent. Also taxes are complete and I have few work worries until after spring break. But even better....
2. I finally got to take Stefan out to "garden". I planted seeds, he pulled up grass...thankfully much of it was dead.
3. A nice long walk around the whole yard with the push truck, chasing the cat. No one lost an eye, the cat makes a great escort.
4.No nap time! Which means no planning around nap time and lots of time outside and playing.
5. He's eating a ton, drinking a really healthy juice consistently, and ate a whole ton of pasta and his favorite sausage/egg plant meal, which is also adult food, so we have a lot and it's cheaper than the jars of baby food. So I'm in feeding heaven again today.
6.He's been awesome with self entertainment while I prepare things etc.(like taxes and food).
7.Lastly, he knows all sorts of cool stuff I've never made mention of...like where Q tips go, and that he uses soap when we wash hands. Lot s of little cool things he's picking up.
I said I really liked 8 months, but 16 is so much better! I can also see, with the toddler independence, why mom's get the baby itch for another small, not so opinionated little one. That's a thought for another day.
