17 Months

Coloring with crayons! (8/29)

He loves to play and for us to play with him.

I've been trying to do more activities with him, like the whipped cream I posted about before. Any ideas are most welcome.

Cornering the cat at Grandma & Grandpa's (8/11)

He loves books and he's frequently bringing me books to read to him.

He loves to point!

He loves to run around and is most comfortable with this in the house. He'll run around on the deck and sidewalk too but there are a lot of outdoor surfaces that he's still getting used to.

I love to see him exploring outside. And inside.

Stacking! (8/10)

His favorite video is still Baby Einstein's My First Signs and he always gets very excited when I turn it on. He sees it maybe once a week but he'll do a little sign language now. If I ask him if he's 'all done' and if he is he'll do that sign. He signs 'milk' although I think it only usually means he wants milk.  It also means "I want that."  And I'm pretty sure he's signed 'mommy' a couple times :)

He talks all the time and I wonder what he's saying. His favorite thing to say in a loud strong voice sounds exactly like "DIE!!"

Watching TV in his new chair (he never stays in it very long now that he knows how to get out) (8/13)

He's only nursing once a day (in the morning) and I think he'd be okay if we stopped so we probably will soon.

His canine teeth are coming in.

He's growing up!
