A bit more about Little Ol' Me: Grey's World: 16 Months

I said that I was going to blog more often, and I've "failed". More than a month has passed since my last post. Life just happens, you know?

As life was "just happening", this little guy turned 16 Months! Can you believe it?! I did post a proper 15 months update, so I'll catch you up. I just absolutely adore watching this little guy's personality develop. He's so funny! And that belly laugh!!!! It's contagious!!

If I could pick one word to describe Grey at this point, it would be "cautious". He's cautious in most of his actions, who he interacts with, etc. He didn't take his first steps on his own until he was 14 3/4 months. It wasn't because he couldn't. He had been walking while holding onto our hand for some time and was quite balanced with it. I think he was being cautious. He needed to have more confidence in himself. He finally started walking on his own (without much coaxing from us) right at 16 months.

I must admit at first I was a little concerned that he was such a late walker. The other babies in the neighborhood are several months younger and literally "running" circles around him. I wasn't concerned that he couldn't do it, as I could see him making little bits of progress. I just didn't understand why he wouldn't do it. I just needed to learn that Grey was going to do it in his own time. #patience

He didn't any other milestones during the last month. I guess he was using all his energy for walking...as he should have. He's been racking them up since though, but those are stories for the next month's post.

I'll leave you with some fun pics for now...
