Addendum: James at 16 months

I forgot some things when I wrote up James' 16 month post! I realized this morning when he was being super cute and doing all of his tricks.


James requests the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song by putting his fingers together. If you sing it, he does all of the motions all the way through and claps at the end!  Sometimes he does all the motions really fast and just sits, sucking his thumb and waiting for you to catch up and finish the song :).

James has been picking out books to read for months, but since he's been able to walk, he will pull his chosen book from the giant basket and carry it around, following you until you sit to read it to him.  Way cuter than him sitting at the basket fussing until you go over and pick up the book he wants.


He can point out his nose, ear, mouth and teeth, and claps in between each one for himself.  I was surprised when we tried it and he could do these four without any practice!  I think he's learned from reading books and meal times.  If we ask where his eye is, he always chooses his ear. So, now we're working on that one.

He totally comprehends hot/cold.  Whether we're outside and the weather is cold, or his food is hot or cold, or he sees my coffee cup and knows that it's hot... he verbalizes it and wants everyone to know!  For hot, he says "ha" then blows.  For cold, he says "brrrrrrr."


And here's a photo after his most recent hair trim (on his 16 month birthday) - done in the bathtub with both Stuart and I holding him still.  James doesn't love it, but he looks so handsome afterward :).
