Update

This might be the last update we give until after the holidays.

Our toddler turns 17 months in one week. It's so hard to believe. He certainly doesn't look like a little, snuggly baby anymore. He is all GO, GO, GO, GO!!!

He doesn't seem to like doing things in the proper developmental sequence. He didn't walk until 15 months, still doesn't clap and won't wave. But, he is beginning to count and say his ABCs. I can't believe it. He still eats baby food and has an aversion to most solid foods, but he can count to 4 and says, "A, B, C". He is so verbal! He can name many objects. He knows more words than we realize. Just today, we were at the grocery store and walked past the bakery. He pointed to the case and said, "cake". He also pointed to a Christmas tree and said, "tee".

He is quite a handful. We are worried about how much he will destroy everyone's homes over the holiday visits. He can open most drawers, cabinets, closets, etc. There is a certain kind of baby-proof lock that he has already figured out how to open!

We are so blessed!

Happy Holidays!
