Sixteen months three weeks

Hello world!

When me and my mama go for a walk with the dog, I ride in my sling. I sometimes ride on my mama's back, and sometimes on her front. I like it either way. Then I get down and walk too. I look for sticks to pick up. Today I saw purple berries on bushes and I helped my mama count them.

When my mama said bath to me, I made the sign to her. I know lots of signs. My best signs are "want," "milk," "no," "all gone," and "more." I also sometimes do "bye-bye," "eat," "drink," "bath," "thank you," and "excuse me" (for burping).

It's easy to get a haircut. First you sit on a chair and wiggle. Then you sit on mama's lap and wiggle. Then you get down and run around in all the hair on the floor.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

I have two more new teeth. Now I have fourteen teeth. That's loads of teeth. I bite all kinds of things with them. I really like green beans from my garden. My mama picks them and I bite them.

I helped my mama when she was gardening. I took the bucket to the lawn when she was trimming roses. There were weeds on the lawn that weren't picked up yet, so I picked them all up and put them in the bucket. My mama was so surprised when she saw them.

When it's time to leave baby group, I always wave and say bye-bye to everyone. I keep waving and saying bye-bye all the way home. I also wave bye-bye to the poo in the toilet when it flushes.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

After I have dinner I'm ready for bath and bed. When my dad asks me if it's bathtime, I say "bath" and then I grab his hand and take him upstairs. We play with toys in the bath, and when I'm done I get wrapped up in a towel. Then I get jammies on and go to sleep in my big boy bed.

I remembered to do four tiny poos in the potty so far. It's tough, though. Because I don't like wet and yucky undies, I hold it for a long time. When we go out to baby group, I hold it the whole time.

I got a cool book from the library about trucks and cars. When I read it to myself I make all the truck noises. I have a dog book too; I make the dog noises when I read it. I especially like barking dog and hot dog.

This is how I dive head-first onto my mama. It's hilarious.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

I hate having wet undies. And pooey undies is the worst! But I still forget to use the potty a lot. I'm getting my own special toilet seat to try out too. I'll have to see if I like it better.

I have a toy that plays music and blows air. I stick my face in the hole where the air blows out. I like to feel it blowing in my face and hair. I got a haircut already, but my hair is long again. Maybe I should get another one.

My mama has a push lawn mower, just like my push cart. When she pushes it, it goes round and round. I run alongside, watching it.

I got to pick strawberries again this year. I went last year but I'm not sure if I remember; strawberries are tasty, though. I sat down next to my dad and helped him push away the leaves so he could find the strawberries, then I ate them.

Love,

Franklin
