Malachi is 16 months old today!

Aimi Lark was writing her numbers in a coloring book with Jake.

Malachi yelled out a very clear "BABY" when he was playing with the glow worm baby.

Mali Su was absolutely happy the entire sacrament meeting.

I thank Jake for having me pack a bag with some books, coloring supplies, and other "quiet" toys.

Pulling out a single item at a time kept them all on the pew sitting quietly.

It was a lot of work for us but it was a nice day.

While at church today I realized in 2 months Malachi can go to nursery.

I don't ever remember this feeling with my girls but he seems too young/little to go to nursery.

I'm actually a little worried about it.  I can already see them nicely telling me he is "rough" with the other kids.

He is known to push his sisters over and pounce on them while playing.

All the while the girls are laughing and so is he, I doubt other kids will be so patient.

I am excited for him though.  Us trying to keep him contained during class isn't easy and I'm sure Jake will be ready for a little break.  

He has taken him to Priesthood meeting with him since I can remember.

Malachi has started this awesome, Beau especially loves it, FAKE whine/cry.  

He is still trying to get in those back bottom molars.  His top ones came in ages ago but these bottom ones aren't cooperating.  He is still a picky eater and a lot of the time I just blame his lack of desire to eat on his swollen gums.  

He is still a wobbly looking walker.  He isn't running but he does try to get away from people from time to time and his quick wobbly walk is something to be seen.

As soon as the owie on his face heals I want to get him in for some pictures.  He is at such a cute/fun/adorable stage right now.  I just want to capture it!

I love how when he agrees with you he will say, "Da" or "huh" (both kinda high pitched) and nods his head and pretty much "nods" yes with his entire body.

He has started saying his own version of Thank-you.  We are a very THANK-YOU saying family so whenever the boys or girls say THANK-YOU he echoes with some sort of sound (that changes) that we know means THANK-YOU!

Malachi we love you.
