Almost 1.5 years...crazy! I swear he gets more fun to be around everyday. The cute expressions he uses and funny things he does always leave us laughing and smiling.
At 17 months...
-Is loving tofu cubes, sweet potatoes, any fruit, fig newtons, yogurt, cheese, enchiladas, rice, beans, indian food, smoothies...
-Had another double ear infection and also got ulcers on his throat.
-Went on another airplane ride to Utah and was such a great traveler!
-Loves to hold on to your finger and take you to what he wants...so cute
-When he is looking for something/someone he will say "dada, whaaer?" and shrug his shoulders with one hand up (hard to explain but super cute) He's actually been doing it for a couple months now
-Just started Gymboree classes, since he won a free month!
- A new word he says, that we have no idea where he learned is turtle, and he actually says turtle. He was playing with his new animal magnets and when I asked him what it was he told me...crazy...
-Says a ton of words. A stranger at the playground commented to me on how much he talks...he does talk a lot and I love it!
-Is still signing a lot too. He now loves to sign hurt when he gets an ouchie, and juice when he sees it.
-He learned about juice in Utah...he doesn't get any at home.
-Is still pretty tiny...I think his enormous amount of hair makes up for it and makes him seem bigger
-Loves to read books. His favorite right now are: "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" "I Knew You Could", which is a cute train book, and a christmas book that was mine that has scratch and sniff stickers in it.
-Got a play kitchen for Christmas and loves to pretend to cook. He stirs, tastes, pretends to fill cups with water and put them in the microwave, brings us cups and tells us they're hot
-Learned how to jump on his trampoline he got for Christmas
-Ate his first courtesy cone from Arctic Circle (ssshhh don't tell dad)
-Likes to brush his own teeth and hair
-Pretends to put on makeup with my makeup brushes
-Loves to give hugs to little kids
-Loves being outside
-Really enjoys swinging
-Is still the sweetest baby boy I've ever met!

I think I may be responsible for "Turtle". There is a turtle on the Baby Einstein music thing on his crib. We were naming all of them as they swam past -- starfish, clown loach, octopus, and turtle.
Derek heard Rowan repeat 'turtle' very clearly.
My work as a Gramma is now officially done :-)
Great job! Derek doesn't remember anything...I was really wondering how on earth he new what one was!
