Change.Change.Change.

Dear Nubby,

There are seven months and 3 weeks till you turn 2.  Maybe its all this newness and change lately, but today I feel very unsettled by that figure.  Last week, you turned 16 months old.  In the four months since you turned 12 months old, you have totally changed.  Change. Change. Change.  Everywhere I look.  You are basically a little boy now with everyday your baby tendencies getting less and less.  You like to play with stuff that moves (because you never stop moving) and read slightly longer books.  You say SO many words with clear intention.  Today you pointed to your diaper and said icky.  WHAT!  You ask for a baba when you need one and scream mama when you need me.  You smile and laugh all day long and give the best little bear hugs.  You run after your sister on the way to the park and can officially climb up and down stairs.  You run to grandma and dad when they come through the door and whine when they leave.  Really other than the baba and the desire for me to lay with you while you fall asleep, you are mostly all little boy.  You even drank out of a straw now! 

Thankfully, your little cheeks haven't gone anywhere.  That will be most definitely be one of the hardest changes to deal with.  I am excited for the sure to be coming soon closed pucker up kisses though.
