Today you are 17 months old. I swear, I just wrote your 16 month blog. You are growing so fast! You are also learning so many new things. You are really starting to become your own little person. We love just sitting back and watching you do what you do each day.
We're not sure what you weigh since you haven't been back to the doctor (thankfully!) since your last well baby check up. I don't think you've gained much, if anything.
You wear mainly 18 month clothing, except for shorts, which you can wear anywhere from 24 months to 2T.
You wear a size 5 shoe.
You wear a size 5 diaper during the day and a size 6 overnight diaper during the night.
You still go to bed at 7pm and usually get up anywhere from 7am to 8am. You are still taking two naps a day, ranging from 1 to 2 hours each.
You are still a very good eater, but you don't eat as much as you used to. Steamed broccoli and cauliflower and carrots are some of your favorite vegetables. Strawberries are by far your absolute favorite food. I'm a little worried what we will do this winter when they won't be available! You absolutely refuse to eat mashed potatoes; this is the only thing I've ever been disappointed in! I can't BELIEVE my child doesn't like mashed potatoes! You also really enjoy spaghetti, tacos, and lots of other casseroles.
You mainly drink milk and water. Every once in awhile I will give you watered down apple juice.
You can say a lot of words now. You can say several animal sounds: Moo (which you still put a "B" in front of, which is adorable!) Boch, boch (chicken), Sssss (snake), Meow (kitty), and you move your nose and mouth for a bunny rabbit. This little list is gone over several times a day. Sometimes you just shake your head "no" when you get tired of answering.
Some new words you've recently added are: done, no, grandma, no, and no. It's so cute when you say no because you have a strange little accent you put on it. It sounds like meow, but with an "n" instead an "m". It makes it hard not to laugh when I'm explaining why you have to obey mommy.
You are really into books right now. You still love to bring us books and have us read to you, but you also like sitting down with them yourself and "read" at the top of your lungs. You turn a page and jabber and jabber and then turn another page and start over. You especially like doing this is the car. You are very loud...
You also carry your baby doll around and push it in the stroller and wrap it in a blanket. You hold it and rock back and forth, patting its back. I just know you will be a wonderful mommy yourself one day.
Outside is still your favorite. You love swinging and digging in the dirt. You also love swimming. If you see your swimsuit you point at it and cry. Several times a day you will bring me your shoes and go stand by the backdoor. It's been so hot out lately (record highs with most days around 105) that we rarely stay out long.
You have a great sense of humor and you are usually the one that makes you laugh! You will jabber and jabber and then just crack up laughing. You also smile and laugh when you let toots. It's too cute!
You've really started wanting only mommy, daddy and grandmas. I'm not sure why this started all the sudden, but you used to go to anyone who held out their arms and now you hardly go to anyone. I'm hoping this is a short phase.
As always, we love you and are so blessed to be your mommy and daddy!
