What a busy time it's been with David! He has been walking and running all over the place. He's a serious handful. Looking back on the last update at 13 months, one major change is that for many months he stopped waving, while starting and continuing to walk/run at about 14 months. He finally has resumed waving at about 16 months and does the cute funny hand-wag and "buh bye!" and "huwwo."
He still gets super excited whenever the phone rings and yells "DADA! DADDY!" He loves being with Daddy so much. Daddy takes him and the girls to the park and the store a lot, and David always does very well with Daddy. He puts up less of a challenge than he does with Mommy. With Mommy, he will try to climb out of the shopping cart; with Daddy, he sits very well.
David likes to watch for birds from the windows (and call out "buh!") and chase them if he can, outside. He loves to see dogs when we are outside, which is often, because he LOVES being "ahhhside." He could stay outside endlessly! It's fitting that his baby-talk for outside was one of his first real words!!! That and hummus. He says "humma" or "hummy." Let this be a record that he is an outdoorsy baby who likes hummus, like his family!
David (or "Lub Dub" or "Dubby" for nicknames) loves his sisters so much. Sometimes while driving to pick them up from school he starts calling out "Deedee! Neni!" One of the sweetest things he does is go to them for comfort- if Mommy isn't nearby, or if I scold him for excessive screeching/screaming, pulling hair, etc. Adira is able to watch him quite effectively either inside or outside, for short times. Nesi is really good at bringing him from his bed to Mommy in the morning to nurse (and requires exclusive rights to this job!)
He is beyond cute. He has his top two and bottom two front teeth and sometimes gives a big cheesy grin. He is very ticklish and loves having his feet kissed. Nes loves to "blob" him which is making a big loud noise with her mouth on his tummy. He sits with the big girls sometimes when they watch a video with Daddy- usually not paying attention to the screen, but sitting nicely.
David likes to eat these main foods: tomato sauce with baby cereal, applesauce and cinnamon, avocado, banana, mandarin oranges (he peels them himself), frozen fruit-cream, hummus, veggie straws, and baked goods. He loves drinking water and frequently grabs the faucet and leans in to drink extra. He nurses 4-5 times a day. He is still taking two excellent naps a day (YAY for Mommy!) and usually doesn't wake up at night. But when he does, Daddy takes pity on him and freely delivers him to nurse and then returns him to his crib. After all, he is so busy growing, he needs the fuel!
David overall looks a lot like Adira as a toddler. His hair is mostly curly. He refuses to wear a sunhat, but he likes to take other people's kippas. He loves going to music class and down slides (he figured out all by himself how to go down on his tummy.) He dances when he hears music by running in place/stomping his feet alternately. You can't hold this boy back, he is on the go! We love David SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!! Sweetest little guy we know. Thank you Hashem for the beautiful, amazing child!
