King of the Castle! : 16 Months!!

Sounds a bit proud, but Jameson is seriously learning, growing and changing so fast, so I know I am not getting everything in writing. I try my hardest because it escapes me so fast, but I know there are things that I miss documenting. Good thing I take 5000 pictures/videos a month to supplement! Onto the good stuff...

You will shiver and say "burrrr" when you are cold now (in the bathtub mostly).
Your Dad LOVES this one...you noticed my tattoo on my toe (again), but this time you tried rubbing it off. Like Father, like son since he's been doing that for 9 years!
Teeth galore!! One of your top molars has broken through the gums and one on the bottom has as well. Then two more, one on the bottom and another on top, are almost there. Your top canines look like they are trying to come through too.
Whenever someone comes into a room or something, you say "hiiiii" in a really high voice and get really excited. I think it's because we all have been doing that to you since you were itty bitty. It's freaking adorable!
You laugh and/or get super excited when you see the Weather Bear come on the TV or when you see the polar bear on ice machines.
You LOVE watching Little Einsteins and get beyond excited when you hear the first note of the song.
You also love watching the Baby Einsteins Da Vinci video at Gma Debbie and Ray's. Holy cow, you get the most excited I have ever seen you when that DVD is on. It is quite possibly one of the funniest things ever!! I will definitely have to get better video, but here is a subdued version! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTLHYcA1ITY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I have been working on getting you to "show me your muscles". You mostly just laugh when I do it, but you definietly lift your arms up like you are trying to show me your guns. So cute.
You really like to brush your teeth. So much so that when you are at Gma Debbie and Ray's, you push the stool up to the bathroom counter and try to get your toothbrush yourself. You also make the gesture with your finger like you are brushing your teeth when you want your toothbrush. You are a smart little cookie!! I know you are like that when you are out at Gma Kim and Pawpaw's too!
You have said a few new words clear as day, some of which are super impressive

Peach: have to show the video because it sounds like you are saying, "eatin' a peach". I laugh every time I watch this. You can say it clear as a bell though.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzLW1fQhyBs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Potato: it's more like ohh-tay-toe.
Nack: snacks. You will squeal this and then run to the "snack" drawer!
Uncle: sounds like Uncho, but you know to look at Jeremy, Derek or Scott when we say it!
Scott (as in Uncle Scott): your Dad thinks you got this one down because of your Scout dog.
Pretzel and freckle: I am lumping them together because they sound very similar when coming out of your mouth.
Bib: you are quite hooked on saying bib and trying to put on your own bibs now. When you see it in your diaper bag, you get really excited too and have to grab it.
Owl: courtesy of Baby Einstein video
Hippo: also courtesy of Baby Einstein and your little baby pool with hippos on it!
Not words, but you now have the monkey sound down to a tee. Whenever you see a monkey, it's "ooohh ooohh ahh ahh" or sometimes "eeh eeh eeh". Too funny.
You will throw a pillow down, say nigh-nigh and then fake snore!! Not sure how to write that sound out phonetically, but we all know that sound!
Tick tock. I was saying it one night while giving you a bath and you started repeating it and smiling.
You say "weeeeee" when you go down your slide.

You also try to sing now and it is absolutely heart melting! I love it.
Whenever you see a baby on TV or in a book, you squeal "behbee" and get so excited. You love your cousin Madison and your friend Will and are very gentle with them. You like to study them and softly brush their faces. It's seriously adorable.
You also seem to think all Panda Bears are "behbees" because I started calling your favorite one your baby when you were about 9 months old. You love carrying them around and giving them hugs and kisses. We were at the mall and when we walked by Panda Express, you walked by the Panda bear and yelled "behbee" really loudly with a huge smile on your face!
In the morning on the way to Nicole's or Gma Debbie and Ray's, you will shut the straw on your milk and then say "MaMa" and want me to open it. You giggle and then I say "ready?" before I hand it back and you answer with "ready!". So cute!! You also play this game with Daddy and really anyone driving!
You have a puzzle that makes animal sounds and when it does, you move your mouth like you are mimicking them. You learned this from Braden, but it seriously makes me fall on the floor laughing.
You are obsessed with your belly button again. You like to show it off and then you like to show off mine and your Daddy's...fun stuff!
We always look at our family wedding pictures because you like to identify everyone in them. We will spend forever doing it - you point to someone, I say the name. You think it's hilarious. You then repeat or I point and you say the name. You also get really excited when you see people in person and can identify them by name!
When you bump your head or get a boo-boo, I will ask if you want the boo bunny and you immediately run to the freezer and grab the boo bunny and put it on your head (even if that's not where your boo-boo is!). It is so funny and cute! Then you will put it on my head or Daddy's head just in case we have a boo boo too. You also like me to kiss your boo boos now!
You are SO good about helping us get you dressed (unless you are in a mood!). But, when we say the article of clothing, you know where it goes and will help us put it on you/take it off.
Whenever we give you a kleenex, you know to blow your nose. I am not sure you are really blowing anything into the tissue, but you put it up to your nose and make the noise :). When I ask you if you need a tissue, you run to the bathroom and grab one!
Same with napkins/paper towels...you understand that they are to wipe your face/hands!
You found the velcro in the back of your Mickey doll and Scout and always try to figure out how everything works in there. Daddy's little engineer!
Grandma Kim is very good about getting you to pick up your toys, so we are trying to do that more at home too!
You really like to push things. Kitchen chairs, patio furniture, your slide, toys, etc. Baby Hulk!
You had a few more sleepovers with both sets of Grandparents. I was super sick one night when Daddy was out of town, so Gma Debbie and Ray took you. You also got to stay with Gma Kim and PawPaw!
You have kind of become a hoarder! Not really a hoarder, but you take your things and you hide them places and then we find them later (sometimes!). It's really awesome when you hide your milk!
You are one lucky little dude. Not only do your Dad and I adore everything about you, but your grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins love you to pieces too! You make us smile and laugh on a daily basis and for that, we are thankful!! Guess that means we are even more lucky!!
