16 months old

Our Dukie is 16 months old! Where does the time go? And then there's the time that goes really slooooowww, like that last half hour before dinner, or Daddy get home, or bedtime, haha. Every mom knows what I'm talking about here. But Luke, since maybe someday you'll read this, (that is why I'm keeping it, for you kids someday!), we love you very much :-)
Really hardly anything has changed since last month's update. Mom was too lazy to take him for a 15 month check up (I mean why? I don't see the point in it), so we don't have updated size. Schedule is the same, skills are the same pretty much, though of course he is walking better. He is using more words now, but no sentences yet. That's our biggest frustration is the difficulty in communication. Frustrated screaming is not uncommon, sigh.

Luke is saying a lot more words, and even combining 2 words! He now says, all done, and let's go. He also says diaper, book, sock, drink, dog, cow, tractor, and more that I can't think of now. 

At family worship the kids always get asked their catechism questions. Luke's question is, Who made you? He's very proud to answer, God! When Caroline's first catechism question comes up, the last word in the answer is, forever. Luke knows and will answer, ever! It's so cute and funny. 

Ever since Luke was tiny his song I sing to him is,"If you have a chubby Dukie, stop and kiss him right away!" Sung to the Daniel tiger potty song tune. Now if I start singing he joins in and sings, "right away," with a big grin on his face.

Recently Luke has decided baths are terrifying and he must scream the whole time. Fun. So tub playing is over for now!
