17 Months!

Seanybear, I can't believe it's your month-day again! What a whirlwind this month has been. You're 17 months and you're getting bigger everyday. We got your school pictures back and I thought the photographer had to have made a mistake - there in the photos was a little boy, not a baby!

-Fall is here in full force and you love pumpkins! I can't quite decipher what your word for pumpkins is yet, but it sounds kind of like: "paypee" :-)

-Speaking of words (ha!), your top five words these days are (besides mommy and daddy): "tuck" (stuck or truck, depending on the context); "uh-oh!" (whether you did something by mistake or not); "Pah-pur" (Pepper); "gig-eeee" (piggy); and of course, "moh" (more).

-You know the names of many body parts and can point to them on yourself and other people. The same goes for clothing, too!

-You are really into "Where the Wild Things Are." We read this at least 3 times each night before bed - once with the words and taking our time, again as a condensed version just talking about the pictures, and a third time when you pick the pages you like. Your favorite page lately is the one in which Max is chasing his dog with a fork. Hmmmm....

-You love to dance and clap and sing - especially breaking into random bouts of "la la la la la"

-Toddler-hood is rapidly approaching. You've discovered the word "no" and foot-stomping and screeching. Oy.

-Eye teeth: they're coming in and you're feeling them. Last night you woke up crying and it was mommy's turn to see what was up - you were crying and gnawing on the crib railing! Poor schnookums.
