Watch Milo Grow: 16.5 Months


It's been awhile since I wrote down what Milo is up to. I feel like he is turning into a little boy way too fast. I just want to write some things down so that I remember them. So here is whats happening at 16.5 months:

-Loves to dance. Bends his knees and waves his arms. He also has a new head bob move that is hilarious.
-He has gone from a kid who watched zero TV to a Yo Gabba Gabba addict. We try not to let him watch too much, but he loves it & he gets so excited when it turns on, he cheers and dances.
-Loves dogs, he will point out any dog he sees. He also says doggie and barks. 
-Loves balls. He is actually super good at kicking the soccer ball. 
-He has 8 teeth on top, 6 teeth on bottom. 
-Says quite a few words "Mama" "Dada" "Doggie" "Ball" "Bubbles" "GabbaGabba" "Banana" "Water" "Shoes" "Soft" "No" "More" also some Spanish words "Vamos" "Chau" 
-He says "sushhhhh" and puts his little finger up by his mouth
-Can identify his head, nose, knees. 
-Can unlock my iPhone. 
-Lets me know when he has gone poop, by grabbing his diaper. Maybe this means he will be easy to potty train. Let's hope! 
-Folds his arms for prayers.
-Loves to play with new packages of diapers or paper towels. He drags them up and down the hall, stands on them. It entertains him for hours.
-He loves watching the paragliders. He will sit and watch and be so content. He oooos & awwws, points, and cheers for them. I try and take him down to the park most afternoons so that he can watch them. I think its his favorite thing to do in all of Peru.
-We took Milo to his first movie, Ice Age 4. He loved it. He munched on popcorn, laughed, clapped, and danced the whole time. At the end he busted out his best dance moves to the music on the credits.
-He is pretty shy at the park, it takes him awhile to warm up to the kids. Except when there is an older kid at the park, he loves following around and copying the older kids. The other day at the park he chased a five year old around trying to do everything that he was doing and laughing with him. 
-We can't take him anywhere without everyone stopping us to say "que lindo" "muneco" etc. It is not uncommon for people to stop me, bend down to him in his stroller and kiss him.  Sometimes he is a total ham, smiling and loving the attention other times he is terrified.
