16 Months!

I meant to write Drew's 16 month update on Tuesday his actual 16 month birthday, but it was just a crazy day! Drew is getting so big! He now gets off furniture and beds all by himself. Our bed is so high, he tumbles to the ground every time he does it, but he doesn't mind and gets right up! He now goes down the stairs by himself too. He turns around when he gets to the top and slides down backwards on his tummy. It makes it so nice when I have a bunch of things to carry downstairs :) He loves getting coke cans out of the refrigerator and will hang out in there as long as we let him! He hasn't been loving bath time as much as he used to. Washing and rinsing his hair has become something he fights every time :( He is still sleeping like a champ! Yesterday we had to skip his afternoon nap to go visit a friend in the hospital so he was ready for bed at 6pm (about an hour earlier than normal) and he still slept till 7:30 this morning! Most days he is still taking 2 good naps, about 90 minutes each. I don't think it will be too long before he drops the AM nap though. We are still enjoying our Gymboree class and playgroup. We will for sure continue through the summer, but then once we move into the new house, we will be about 15 minutes further away. We may consider dropping the class at that point. Drew still isn't saying too many words but understands how to communicate with us and understand almost everything we say to him. I am trying to teach him how to say "hi". His friend Leyton has learned and it is OH so cute!
