Newsletter Month: 16

Elliot - yesterday you turned 16-months old. We are surviving this cold, cold snap and suffering from some serious cabin fever. You have learned how to say brrr and mean it!

Christmas was so fun with you as you were into opening presents and playing with the paper and bows. It was a lot of action but you handled it like a pro - no major meltdowns until daddy's birthday...

Yes, you had your first all-out, tantrum, meltdown in a restaurant while we were out celebrating daddy's birthday. It was so bad that we had to leave. Whew - it was pretty powerful and knocked us over! We think it was a combination of being tired, hungry, being at a loud place, etc. but we really don't know and you couldn't tell us anything except to scream at the top of your lungs. It was a doozy and we know there are more to come in the future just give us a long break in between ok?

We started swim lessons this month and though when we started you were a bit leery you have since become so relaxed and chill about it. So much so, that you have no interest in paddling or kicking just laying and floating. It is quite funny to see.
New words this month are "cookie" - after eating so many Christmas cookies. You ask for them often even when we don't have any. And you are starting to drop things and say, "uh-oh".
Lastly you are really antagonizing the Wini. She usually tolerates your poking and prodding pretty well but you have begun to pull her tail. Don't say we didn't warn you about that one...

Love,

Mama
