Always going one hundred miles per hour.
With no slow down button.
He's into everything.
And loves to make messes.
He's independent.
Energetic.
All boy.
100% Wild Savage.
Every month seems to go by faster and faster. TJ's sixteenth month was no exception. We didn't take a ton of pictures, but we were able to capture some of his favorite things:
Grapes. And all other fruit that resembles a ball. They are all conveniently located in the fridge drawer at his eye level, so he always tries to sneak a handful when the fridge door is open.
Putting on other people's shoes. He thinks he is something else in a pair of shoes that are too big for him.
Putting on other people's hats.
Playing with cousins. Playing in the dirt. And he certainly loves to wear nothing but the diaper.
Reading books. He especially likes how Elaine reads them.
Balloons. The color pink. And of course Julian. I'm pretty sure those were the only things he noticed when we went to visit Ella Grace in the hospital. Yep, looking back, I don't think he even noticed Ella Grace.
His "girlfriend." Anytime we go outside he has to run over to the neighbors' front doorstep and say, "hello" to his favorite girl with a blue bonnet. The frequent hellos turned into frequent kisses, and now, Blue Bonnet is officially his "girlfriend."
Sitting on high stools. 
Eating yummy melon. Or any food for that matter.
And licking the bowl clean.
Imitating his daddy. If Daddy has a tray table then certainly TJ needs one too.
Riding in his stroller. And people watching. What better place than at a gator pregame festival?
Water. He loves to drink it, play in it, and splash himself in the face with it. We went outside to clean out the fishbowl but TJ decided it was more fun to hose himself down.
Kaeme. TJ loves when my mom comes down to visit because she gives him lots of attention.
He also loves animals-- our pet fish, looking out the window at the birds and squirrels, all of our neighbor's and friend's dogs, my mom's bunny, and especially my mom's little dog, Anna. He loves stuffed animals too. He usually has one tucked under his arm, like a little side-kick, as he runs around the house making messes. He is a handful, but he is a sweet one.
Oh TJ, thank you for making life so delicious!

It is so fun to watch him grow! What a sweetheart!
He is such a little cutie and seems like a ton of fun. Are yall living in an apartment or house in Gainsville?
Oh my gosh that picture of him in the blue hat with the orange hair sticking out is so adorable!! I love it! He is getting so big and grown up, I can't believe the last time we saw him he was only 6 months old! He looks like he is slimming down a little, so I bet he is really active! He is looking more like a toddler and less like a little baby:) That blue bonnet girl is a little creepy, but that is so funny he likes to give her kisses! Do you guys still go to all the Florida games? We almost drove down to see you guys on Jeff's bye week, but he had to take a kid to some showcase thing. Hopefully we can figure out a time to see you soon!
What a treat to see a new post!Even though I have seen most of these pictures in real life...they are so funny how you put them together to capture the real TJ. So glad you added a picture of his "blue bonnet" girl friend. That sums up what a sweet, loving little boy he is. I KNOW he makes her day as he makes everyone's day more fun and happy....and tired! Loved my weekend with him!!! Thanks for sharing him with me!
Love the pictures and commentary! You've got one sweet little guy, Amelia!
He is such a cutie! I hope his baby sister looks just like him! Two little crazy Amelias running around, wouldn't that be fun! ;)
