16months old

Okay, I am not doing very well with the traditional updates as my baby grows...somehow the fifteen month mark flew by.  I find he is growing up way to fast, and yes he is still little but in trying to keep with with his siblings he seems much older than he really is.  As with all the kids his gross motor skills are quite developed.  He has no problems throwing balls...throwing anything for that matter.  Poor Andrea gets beat up on a daily basis.  At soccer practice he spends most of his time chasing balls and dribbling, sounds crazy but he is able to run full speed with a soccer ball.  Actually he just loves to run, the silliest thing is to see him run on the tramp sticking out his big belly as he runs circles.  He continues to be the pickiest eater of the kids and would live on fruit if possible.  The Doctor said not to worry, I guess she is not the one changing his diapers. His speach is slow in coming, he babbles a ton, but spends most his time yelling...maybe he thinks we just don't hear him??   James thankfully sleeps through the night, MOST of the time.  He is not the sound sleeper like Andrea and does his share of crying when going to bed.  Brayden told me tonight that I should go to bed early with James (as James is currently sleeping in our room till we go to bed-musical beds at the haveman house.) and see how it feels having a crying baby in your room.  I told him I did that with him, so get over it!  But best of all is James' laugh and smiles.  Not matter how crabby he is or mad give him one good wrestle or zerbert kiss under his chin and he just about dies with giggles-we find that urge to tickle him hard to resist!  Well, that's enough on my baby-yes he is getting older but he is still sweet baby James to me!
