17 Months

This past month has been a bit of a doozy!  Between a cold that just won't go away, getting molars, and weening we all have been going through a lot!  We've had plenty of really wonderful days/moments and plenty of days/moments where I wasn't sure we were all going to make it!  Despite the hard days we've had so much fun and laughter, and as always, I wouldn't change any of it!  Dylan seems to morph from my baby to my little boy and little more every day, whether it's learning something new or asserting his independence he's certainly growing up!

Facts/Accomplishments:
Stood on his own for the first time on 3/21!
He's become so shy and quiet and takes quite some time to warm up to anyone, even family and friends
He is 90% weened, but still holding strong to his night nursing
He will not nap unless we're in the car (this is my fault for always nursing him to sleep at nap time, now that we've stopped nursing he doesn't know how to fall asleep without being in the car)
He's constantly putting shoes/socks/bags/etc. on his hand and jabbering as if they are puppets
Whenever he bumps his head he says "bonk" which is often!
He has a pretty good throwing arm
He will either give you a million kisses or zero - I guess it just depends on how he's feeling that day!
It's amazing and scary how well he can navigate the iPad
He will not eat an OtterPop unless it has a dishtowel wrapped around it 
All day long we wander around the house saying "show me" and he directs us where to go with pointing and grunting

Likes:
Candy - he seriously has the worst sweet tooth!
His favorite movie is Finding Nemo - he'd watch it on repeat all day if we'd let him.  He's constantly asking for "fish??  videos??"
He loves loves loves blueberry bread
He is eating a bit better and I attribute part of that to his new love of ketchup!
Going for walks in his stroller (hurray for warmer weather!)
Playing "i'm gonna get you" he throws his hands in the air and wiggles his fingers all around
Standing in the fridge and pulling anything he can off of the shelf

Dislikes:
Being told no - I can't believe the meltdowns he's capable of!
Wearing pants
Getting in and out of the car (we have a two stop max when going places!)


 







I'm the luckiest to have you as mine!
