16 months and catch up!





I know it has been forever since my last blog post. I'm sorry for failing in the blogging world. You see Facebook has made it so easy to keep in contact with everyone that I kind of let this blog slip by. A good friend, started a blo,g as she is having twin,s and well, it reminded me of my blogging while I was pregnant. So, I am going to start blogging again!

Burkie, sweet, sweet, Burkie. Man, oh man, do you keep me moving! Let's see Burke is just growing and growing. He is now 25 pounds and 30 inches long. Maybe a little taller and heavier these days. He is the most adorable little boy I've ever known. He started walking at 14 months and talking! It took him a little longer to walk, but once he learned how he never looked back! He is into everything! Nothing, and I mean nothing, is safe! Burke mainly says "hi", uh oh, and Mama. He can also say ball and dog. He still signs and I have found signing to be rather neat!

Burke LOVES to be outside! He will play outside to sheer exhaustion!

Burke also LOVES older kids. You know the kids that he is way too young to play with. It makes him so mad when I bring him back to the toddler play ground as he so badly wants to play with the big kids.

Burke loves to go to our neighbors house, when they answer he says in his proud voice, "hi" and walks right in! Speaking of going to our neighbors house, Burke loves stairs. He is quite fast at them and can't get enough. We don't have stairs so they are extremely fun for Burke at other people's house.

Burke is sleeping through the night..whew! That was a hard one to figure out at our house! He usually takes one good nap a day. He wakes up at the butt crack of dawn. Literally, he wakes at 5:00 every morning. We really need to work on getting him to sleep longer! He goes to bed though at 7:30. So who knows...clearly we don't! ha!

Burke LOVES TV. He adores Imagination Movers and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I know the smart people say TV is bad for kids, but we just don't fight it.

Burke loves cheese, tortillas, puffs, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas, mandarin oranges, and pizza. He is not a fan of meat. We try at all meals, but usually he spits it out.

The sweetest thing Burke does is come give me a hug. He can be playing and having a ball. Then suddenly he will walk over to me and give me a hug. It's just a quick hug, but boy do I love it!

Burke's favorite part of the day is bath time! He could sit in the tub for hours! Speaking of water, we have gone to the pool a couple of times, and he thinks that is just the best! He loves to get in the water, but he also loves to go search every ones pool bags! haha! He's been known to take a sun block or two!

Did I mention that Burke is the sweetest, cutest, and most adorable baby I've ever known? I have no idea what I used to do before Burke. I love my life! Life with Burke is so fun! Greg and I spend a lot of time giggling at him. He can be quite fun to watch! Like when we go out to eat and he basically joins another table. It's like he has no interest in us, it's all about the table next to us. Or how when he throws something and says "uh oh" about 30 times. Life is so fun with him!

I am doing well! I absolutely love my neighborhood. I have met some of the best girlfriends! Burke has a good friend, Paige. They are so cute when they are together. Paige is just adorable!

I feel like I am forgetting so much. But with any luck I will post more soon!
