Memories & Milestones: 17 Months Old-18Months Old

-we are well overdue in cutting you off from the bottle but you truly LOVE it so much and cry for it that we have caved another month because of our upcoming Disney trip...you take 4 bottles a day (4 oz each) and still won't drink it if it's not warmed up and given by Mommy in the "position" you like, ha!

-this month has probably been your pickiest eating month to date-you're not a fan of hardly anything these days and throw half your food on the floor-only consistent things you love are yogurt and most fruits! All else is hit or miss depending on the day and your toddler spirit =)

-Still excellent control feeding yourself with a spoon and fork and new this month if your new found joy in dipping your food in ketchup, syrup, hummus, etc.

-When any music comes, you start bouncing up and down and bobbing your head back and forth

-You still love to play with the brook (prob fav toy, ha!) and your favorite spot in the house is still daddy's computer chair!

-New entertainment this month has been climbing in and out of your high chair and playing with the buckles on it-has kept you very occupied!

-You thoroughly enjoy pushing things around such as your lawn mower, a grocery cart, the Fisher Price popper toy, and a baby stroller!

-Most of your days are spent playing with cars, trains, and begging to be taken outside! (where you are most content!)

-When we think of you at 18 months old here are some things that come to mind: you're honestly a tough little munchkin right now and do a LOT of screaming & fussing-it's difficult to keep you content and happy and mommy ends up toting you around in the ergo entirely too much, you are still VERY jealous if mommy reads to or holds anyone other than you, you've made drastic improvement in the nursery and now only shed a few tears when dropped off but can be calmed down quickly, you love to copy and imitate what we do such as coughing or sneezing and then belly laugh when you finish, you give the best bear hugs around our neck on command (17.5mo), you're a stubborn little fellow and pitch a fit if you don't get what you want, you're still a HUGE mama's boy, you're full speed ahead most days and keep us on our toes watching you like a hawk, you love animals (esp dogs) and love visiting a pet store! Most of all, we love you more than you could ever imagine G-bug!

Memories & Milestones: 16 Months Old-17 Months Old

-you are the biggest handful these days, but oh so precious!

-so thankful you are such a good sleeper and a great napper! You sleep from 7:30pm-7:30am give or take and then you take a 3 hour nap usually from 12-3pm each day!

-you are officially toddling/walking all over the place and you also do a lot of squatting down to play-love to see your ability to balance and come back up to a standing position without toppling over!

-also pretty proficient at climbing into chairs and turning your body around to face forward in the chair

-you love to be 'on the go' and we can barely keep up with you-you move from one thing to the next at rapid speed and we truly can't take our eyes off of you or you will be on top of the kitchen table, kitchen counter, computer chair/desk, up the stairs, train table, or bar stools-you love, love to climb!

-You also have officially entered the wreck havoc on everything stage-lots of time is spent following behind you cleaning up all the things you have pulled off a shelf, out of a drawer, or out of a basket-you make messes faster than we can clean up that's for sure!

-if you hear the word OUTSIDE, you make a beeline to the door to leave-truly your favorite place still. You love to take walks, be pushed in your riding car, blow bubbles, and play on your little slide/climber-you never ever want to come back inside!

-you love to wave at everyone you see and yell gye/dye which is your version of bye bye!

-just this month, you have decided that you are rather independent and don't need our help for things, ha! You especially like to feed yourself cereal and yogurt with a spoon ALL BY YOURSELF. =)

-speaking of meal time, we can't get the food on your tray fast enough for you-you are rather impatient until you are fed and have had your bottle! You also love to throw things over the side of your high chair and see the effect-all fun and games until it's spaghetti or a bowl full of cereal!

-still addicted to your paci and honestly we let you have it far more than we should because you are a fussy baby during the day! (don't worry, we won't let you go off to Kindergarten with it!)

-we love your little scrunched up nose smile you've mastered =)

-you give the best hugs and wrap your chubby little arms around our necks-can never get enough of those and your slobbery kisses are simply the best too!

-you aren't a big fan when mommy holds anyone besides you and you get rather jealous and cry/try to push your sisters off my lap

-you light up when your sisters come home from school or wake up in the morning-just so long as they don't steal your mommy, ha! You need reminding often that you are one of four children =)

-When we think of you at 17 months old here are some things that come to mind: you still are uber attached to your bottle and since you're the last baby, we'll let you have it a smidge longer. You are a creature of habit and want it warmed up, sound machine on, in the rocking chair, reclined in our arms, and lights off at night =) Still obsessed with dogs and go crazy when you spot one, have started copying and mimicking others (coughing or blowing your nose), still spend a lot of your days hanging and crying on mommy's legs, still not a fan of the nursery, car/train lover, and love the outdoors! We're pretty smitten over you and we're sure you know it! =)

-You had your 1st Bruster's vanilla ice cream cone this month 7/22/18

Memories & Milestones: 15 Months Old-16 Months Old:

-Little particular pants still wants his bottle of warmed up milk every day at the same temperature with the same nipple, in the same spot on the couch or rocking chair in the same position. Oh, and only mommy is capable of giving him said bottle! =)

-finally, finally started drinking out of a sippy cup if desperate! (6/26/18)

-still loving your food-you seem to be a bottomless pit these days! Your favorites lately: blueberries, bananas, strawberries, watermelon, muffins, spaghetti)

-you're still a big mama's boy and cling to my legs all day, every day! Really and truly, you are right by my side and often times I cook dinner with you on the my back in the ergo...it's how we eat dinner at night =)

-cry huge crocodile tears when dropped at any nursery-as in hysterical screaming and we get called to come get you often (we know you'll outgrow it, but it's no fun!)

-your favorite place to be is still outside-you truly wake up wanting to be outside as soon as possible and will stand at the door and whine until we go...it's your happy place for sure!

-your attention span is still rather short to say the least-you move from one thing to the next and you definitely will not sit still to listen to even one book being read to you, hopefully one day soon!

-favorite toys: your blue car, the car race track, your trains/train table, water table, and your riding toys outside

-sweetest sounds these days are your car and train noises you now make when driving them around =)

-climbing things still ranks pretty high on your list of things you enjoy!

-you love to play at a park and climb up and down everything!

-your fan club of sisters is still going strong-their love for you only keeps growing!

-right at 16mo you officially stopped crawling places and moved into full on walking mode!

-also right at 16mo you started saying uh-A instead of uh-oh and it's rather adorable!

-you finally overcame your fear of bath time and pool and now you LOVE it! So thankful for this because now you don't want to get out and it's a lot more fun than all the tears you shed for several months!

-words you say at 16mo: mama, dada, ugh-A, dye dye (bye bye), di (HI!!!)

-You got your first haircut at a salon this month 7/13/18
