16 Months

Jonah rolled himself to the door to watch Jarrett and Uncle Kirk work on the laundry room addition. He tried chewing on Jarrett's shoe while he watched.
In therapy, Jonah practices walking using this walker. This kind of walker is better than something that you push and walk behind because here he is doing all the work. He is making progress and desperately wants to walk, he just has to get his mind and feet doing the same thing at the same time :)
Jonah is now trying to drink by himself. He isn't always successful but he is trying. He will put the cup up towards his mouth but doesn't always make it in. Oh well, at least he has the right idea!
Jonah is expanding his vocabulary all the time. He seems to know a good amount of words but he doesn't always say them. I had him looking at himself in the mirror and I asked who it was and he told me "gonah." He pointed to a stroller going by the house and said baby. He regularly says more, usually in reference to food and in a slightly demanding way. He also has been saying go and yeah.
Jarrett was eating a pear on Saturday and Jonah started licking his lips. He loves pears but has never had one right on the core, so we let him try biting it. He did pretty well and kept wanting another bite. He has been eating all "people" food for about a month now. He loves grilled cheese, applesauce, oatmeal, pizza, and just about anything. He always eats really well and is not picky at all.
