5 April 2009: 16 Months

When strangers, or even people I know, have asked PJ's age I've taken to saying that "He's 1.33 earth units old".  Whether or not they understand what I've said, it's fun to see how they react.

No ‘milestones’ have occurred in the last month, however, PJ continues to amaze and entertain us.  A new favorite game consists of PJ standing on our bed, and then Mommy and Daddy push him into the pillows on the count to three.  This never fails to bring laughter.  Another game has Daddy putting his chin to his chest, waving his arms, and exclaiming “What happened to my neck, what happened to my neck?”  In response, PJ doesn’t laugh but instead puts his chin to his neck and says “wah wah mah blah fah”. 

Regarding sleeping and naps, PJ now has one nap a day around 12:30 or 1 pm that lasts about 2 hours.  At night he goes into his crib around 7:30 pm after a 4 ounce bottle of milk and stays there until 7:30 am.  He is always awake when we put him in the crib but doesn’t complain at all and is asleep within a few minutes.  In the morning he usually wakes up around 7:15 am and talks to himself for awhile before letting us now he really wants to get out around 7:30 am.

I often sing “… he’s pretty much the best little guy, that ever touched the sky”.  Well, here he is doing just that.

One day I came home and found PJ like this watching the Backyardigans with his belly was hanging out of his shirt.  By the time I got the camera, however, his belly was no longer exposed.

Every day when the weather is nice, and most other days, PJ goes outside and climbs on our neighbors stairs.

And most days PJ also likes to walk up and down the street with Mommy and Daddy.  Click here for a high resolution image of this photo.

While trying to get a photo of PJ walking down the street he surprised me be turning on the jets and “running” by me.  Click here for a high resolution image of this photo.

Ooops, he should have stretched before running, I think he got a cramp.

Daddy, I don’t want to run anymore.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.

Pretty soon PJ will be larger than the bear.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.

Em and I often say that we don’t have a baby anymore but instead a little boy.  And then PJ makes a face like this and we melt like butter.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.

PJ is starting to outgrow his fleece pajamas with built in feet so Mommy bought this two-piece, no feet set.

It’s naked time and PJ is happy to be footloose and fancy free.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.

Sometimes during photos PJ likes extreme close-up shots.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.

Hooray for naked time.  Here PJ is playing with his friend “Willy”.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.

Naked time with the fish.  PJ is very good at saying the Chinese word for fish, which pronounced “eeww”.

PJ has already outgrown his infant tub and soon he’ll outgrow his Ikea tub.  Click here for a high resolution version of this photo.
