17 Months and this is what I know.

I won't bore you with too much more rambling on my little guy since I just wrote a post 2 weeks ago.  I am not sure how much more I could say, yeah right I could talk for DAYS!  This little guy is changing and learning things so quickly.  Kyte and I were away for just 3 days and now all of a sudden he can say "bite bite" and "bye BYE" instead of just bye. 

Here is some of what he knows at 17 months: (please note where he sits down to show me his shoes: on the block around the fireplace, this is his favorite seat in the house.  As you can see he already had the pot he was playing with placed there.  And he only sits on this left side of it, never on the other side)

I must give credit to Mimi, who so brilliantly turned what we used to refer to as his "billy goat laugh" when he was a baby into his answer to "What does the sheep say?" ha!

Due to a little bout with some dry skin patches where his diaper rubs him, we have went to bath time just every other night.  On nights without a bath, he gets a few minutes to run around naked, which may or may not have lead to several amusing incidents of him peeing in the floor.  But not only does he love it, it may be the cutest thing EVER.  As soon as his diaper comes off he runs out of his room, down the hall, away from Kyte and I...here he is whipping it around the corner.

Ah, these two are growing way too fast!! 

The kid refuses to wear a hat so we don't buy him many, we just try them on in the store.  I swear it took  us 345 pics to get this one with it on his head and his hands not in motion to take it off.

Sweet boy exhausted from an afternoon at g-mama's

He couldn't decide if he wanted dad's dress shoe or the house slipper so he brought both out of the bedroom and went for the more comfy choice.  Smart boy.  

And I will leave you with this hysterically video of him after Allie's tail.  Bless her heart, she is SOOOOO good with him. Please excuse his naked bottom, it wasn't bath night so he was airing out ha! The pure joy when he grabs her nub is just too adorable not to share.

Snow Day!!

We finally had a measurable snow at the house!!  This was the first one since Taygan was born.  So Taygan and I got a snow day!  Only problem was that Kyte hates to buy anything warm for Taygan because he swears he is ALWAYS hot so we had NO snow clothes.  I put on my mom thinking cap and came up with some layering for "snow clothes" and we headed out.  However I forgot one main part of a snow outfit.  Gloves. Right away it was way too cold on his little hands and he wanted me to get the snow off of them. 

As a result our snow fun lasted about 5 mins, ha!  But it was very pretty from the porch.

Other things happening with this crazy 16 month old:

-Pitching of fits. Yes, all out fits.  Sit in the floor and dramatically cry.

-On a bright note, he dramatically laughs too.  Complete with knee slaps.

-He loves to play hide-n-seek.

-The lid drawer is his favorite place to play.

-Being an over reactive first time mom, I made a dr appt to check some little lumps out at the base of his neck.  They are normal lymph nodes (thank goodness), and the dr said he was a perfect healthy boy (duh!)  

-All four of his molars have broken through the gums.  One is completely in.

-His first "eye" tooth (I think that's what it's called) is starting to come in.

-He wears a size 5 shoe (when Kyte will leave them on him.  The kid has the hottest feet EVER.)

-He still loves getting a haircut.

-"Shoes" is one of his favorite words.  Only becasue he knows that putting them on means he gets to go outside, which is his favorite place to be.

-I am considering trying the word "No" in a language other than English.  He does not seem to be getting it or listen to me care when I say it in English.

-Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is still his favorite show.

-His favorite book is a baby Einstein book "I See Me".  Believe me, I have read it 105002 times.

Not a day passes that Kyte and I don't put him to bed and walk out of his room saying what a cute little guy he is.  He makes our days.  His smile will light up a room and we are beyond blessed to have such a healthy, happy toddler!
