Bernie - 16 months old



The rumors are finally coming true! This month we have proven that Bernie weighs more than his older sister. B=27lbs A=24lbs


Marty took Bernie to his 15 month well check-up (we're only a month behind). Bernie is completely on target in every area!

We were slightly concerned that Bernie might not be where he needs to be verbally. However, our pediatrician confirmed that even though he doesn't say words in their entirety, his grunts or sounds that he is trying to make can be considered "words". And thankfully this past month, we've all noticed that Bernie's verbal skills have increased.

Bernie has still been waking up in the middle of the night to feed. Our Dr. let us know that he's not hungry, but we all wake up throughout the night and have to find a way to get back to sleep. Getting up and having milk is what has been getting him to go back to sleep. However, he's got to learn to fall back asleep on his own. As a result, we've had to resort to the "cry it out" method the past 4 nights. He's finally down to less than 10 minutes of crying before he falls asleep again. Let's hope this keeps up!

This boy is a climber. He trys to get on anything and has no regrets as he falls and bumps his head a gazillion times.

Aaaaaaand, last but not least, the past month has brought a new change to Bernie.


"Bubby, we are so blessed to be your parents. Thanks for bringing many smiles a day to our faces. We can't wait to see how much you will learn in the next few years."

Love, Mommy and Daddy.
