Officially a Toddler!

Well, I always knew my baby wouldn't be a baby forever, but it wasn't until I saw this picture that I thought... he's officially become a little man. The turning point could have been when he said his first sentence, "Bye bye Daddy" a few days ago, or the fact that he can open and close drawers and cupboards all by himself, or when obeys when I say, "Go throw this away for Mommy"... and he comes back beaming having done exactly what I asked, or the fact that he can go down the slide all by himself at the park, or that he insists on buckling his own car seat and feeding himself oatmeal, or that he looks over his shoulder at me with very suspicious eyes as he tiptoes into the forbidden bathroom (he knows thats a big no no), or that he gives hugs and kisses on demand and exclaims "Momma" when I come get him up from his nap, or asks for "nana's" whenever he's hungry, and put food on his head when he's done eating, or when he says, "Uh Oh" as he dumps his food off his high chair, or when he starts flapping his arms and bending his knees whenever he hears music (his unique dance moves, pretty sure he got those either from his dad, or Napoleon Dynamite!... they both have curly hair), or that he calls the plug-in air freshner "No No" because that's what I say when he pulls it out of the wall, or the fact that he'll be 16 months tomorrow... All of these things happening and I guess I just didn't want to admit that my baby is no longer a baby, but I think its time for graduation...congrats Jackers... you're officially a toddler!
