Charli Suttyn: 16 Months

*You're walking like a BOSS and sometimes in a full on sprint!  Your little bow-legged walk is so fun to watch.  You're cautious, yet sturdy.  :)

*At your 15 month check you weighed 24 lbs (67%) and you are 31.5 inches (80%). Growing strong!

*You are understanding so many things these days.  It's so interesting to see the change in behavior and your actions once the little lightbulb goes off.  :)

*Still a squealer though!  That sure hasn't changed.  Can't wait for you to be able to verbalize you're feelings! 

*Your sister knows exactly how to get you to giggle AND squeal.  There are moments that you love each other and laugh uncontrollably at one another.  Then there are times when hugs and playing together is not your thing!  You are usually the one calling the shots and your big sis takes whatever she can get.  :)   

*You're starting to be interested in TV.  You are now stopping for a few seconds to see what all the cartoon hype is all about, but only for Barney and Yo Gabba Gabba.  Then off you go to the next thing!
 
*You love granola and raisin bran cereal, grapes, raisins, apples, and you're warming up to bananas.

*Everything is "UH" or "UH HUH" and you LOVE to shake your head yes and no (yes is in slow motion and no is as fast as it can be!).  You've gotten "momma" down for sure! And we figure one of these days say all the rest. Ha!

*You are the cutest tiny dancer I've EVER seen.  The folks around town are starting to witness and hear about your adorable moves (hula/knee bend).  The word is out.

*You LOVE to be read to!  You bring us all books with the sweetest little smile on your face.  How could ANYONE say no to that?!

*You always wear your personalized little sister bracelet.  Everyday, everywhere we go. I think you're pretty proud of it. ;)

Charli, you are such a spunky little thing and we couldn't imagine our lives without you.  Your smile is contagious and you're such a little charmer!  We love you so much sweet girl!
