17 months

You had your first official haircut and it really changed your look from a baby to a little boy. You haven't seemed to grow much in the last month but you continue to amaze mommy/daddy with your new skills. You can point to every part of your body when asked, and know the sound of several different animals. You climbed to the top of a 8 foot ladder (yikes) and you have started to feed yourself with a spoon. You love to dance when you hear music and have several different moves in your repertoire. This week you learned to give daddy a "fist bump" following a high five. Very cute to watch! I think you know "tia" from her picture on the fridge. The daycare teacher at Little Smiles is going to have you join her preschool class so you can start learning how to sit in a chair by yourself, how to hold a pencil, draw & paint, and start to learn your colors and numbers. Looks like mommy/daddy aren't the only one's that think you're smart ;) One of your latest tricks is that you love to climb. You are able to climb up and down off the couch which is a little scary but you've got the hang of it. Halloween is right around the corner and m&d got you a monkey costume this year. We look forward to you showing us all the new changes the next month brings!
