16months

Dear Ransom,

We're in full fledge Christmas prep around here lately, but I felt like I needed to write a few things before we head to Texas for the Holidays, because I KNOW there will be so much to share about the trip I just don't want to forget the "every day" things of being a 16 month old.

One of your favorite favorite things is looking out of windows. This does not seem to change. Today we went to story time at the library which you seem to enjoy *sidenote* ( you stand and sway and sometimes clap during the songs...but mostly you just watch everyone else), but today you spent a good amount of time before story time started, climbing onto things so that you could look of the windows of the library.
Same goes for home. In fact, I now have a little stool under your bedroom window so that you can climb and look out to your little hearts content.

Just as last month you were becoming a picky eater, this month you're eating CONSTANTLY. You go up to your highchair many times a day and ask for a snack. Luckily you're pretty good with anything I give you and have therefore become a "six small meals" rather than a "three big meals" kind of a guy. For now that seems to be working for us.

Your favorite word right now is "shoes". You say it with an exaggerated SH sound and you purse your lips together in a dramatic way SHHHHHooooes. Its pretty much the most adorable thing ever.

And speaking of adorable ( that one day may construed as "embarrassing"), you think that ALL kisses must be on the mouth and you usually have your mouth WIDE OPEN when going in for a kiss. Yes, kissing a Ransom is a full on experience. Hahaha!

You are such a fun little ball of energy and I love trying to keep up with you. It seems like every day you are learning something new and it is fun to watch you discover your world!

Your Daddy and I love you so very much,
Mommy
