17 Months

Best. baby. ever.

Should I call him a toddler?  He does toddle and it's REALLY CUTE.  But no.  I'm going to call him my baby for a while longer, I think.  He is growing up fast though.

He's so sweet and mellow.  He is AMAZING in public.  Quiet and content and super easy at stores or restaurants.  At home, he likes to throw balls and carry around Cooper's toy saw.  He likes the hammer too.  He's enjoyed being outside this past week, though walking on the bumpy grass is a lot more work!

He likes saying "ah oh" and I never tire of his "mama, mom".  He is constantly gabbering and he sure acts like he knows exactly what he's talking about.  He copies what we say a lot too, but you have to be paying attention.

He really likes looking in the oven when something is cooking.  He always perks up when he hears the garage door opening when Dad gets home.  And he has a knack for finding all the things he's not supposed to have.  Like pens and crayons and my phone and iPad chargers and dvds and rolls of toilet paper.   He likes opening the craft cupboard and banging the blinds and being chased by Dad.  He loves dancing whenever music begins (either from a toy or the piano being played by a sibling) and he always pretends he talking on the phone.

Oliver still takes two naps.  We tried switching to one and it didn't go over very well.   His favorite thing to eat is grapes.  But he loves cheese and strawberries and peaches.  He likes pizza and cheese sandwiches and quesadillas and noodles, and tolerates chicken nuggets.  His favorite breakfast is toast.

Basically he is really cute and lots of fun and I love him to pieces.
