17 months!



  Mom's trying to influence my musical tastes from an early age!
I'm 17 months old today!    Here are some of my updates for this month:

1.  I'm a month away from going to nursery at church.   Mom is counting the days, and not because she doesn't like to hang with me.   She says my schenanigans at church will be much more welcome in a class with other wee people like myself.    Adult Sunday School, not so much.

2.  I'm all boy.   I love anything resembling a vehicle, and will drive it appropriately.   I've discovered the joy of Hot Wheels, and like to lay on the floor and drive them- sound effects and all.

3. In case you didn't think it was possible, I've become even more particular about my diet.   I like all fruit, but beyond that, you're going to struggle to get anything healthy into me.  Mom's been lacing my milk with Special K shakes just to get some protein on board.  I don't see what the big deal is, I have energy to spare!

4. I'm getting ready to vay-cay at Grandma Barnes' house next week for a few days.   Mom and Dad have something called a "10 year" anniversary coming up, which is sort of a big deal for grownups.   All I know is that I get to hang with Grandma and Grandpa on the farm, and do farm boy things.   All the fresh peaches and watermelon I can eat!

5. I had an accident the other day, and cut my foot and finger.   I pulled a mirror down on top of myself at the sitter's house, and cut myself.   I didn't understand the bleeding, and kept trying to rub the hurting places.   Mom bandaged me several times, but I kept pulling the bandages off 'cause they felt weird.   I wasn't hurt badly, but it did make sleeping that night uncomfortable.   Tylenol and lots of Mom love got me through.

6.  I'm a little imp!  I like to play peek a boo games, and try naughty things to see if you're watching me.   I don't usually follow through, but I do like to test my limits.   I'm the funniest guy I know, with the dog being the second funniest.   Nobody can make me laugh like the dog can!

7. I still only need two words to get attention (mom and dad-dad), but I've learned how to shake my head "No."   I'm not really interested in talking beyond this for now.

8.  The pantry is my personal play-ground.   If the door is cracked even a little bit, I'm in there rustling up a snack for myself.  Most of my snacks are eye-level, and I'm not shy about showing you what I'm hungry for.  I'll take all the guess work out of it by pointing to exactly what I want.

9. I'm signed up for swim lessons!   I might be a little young, but the new aquatic center is opening up next to my neighborhood, and I want in on that action!   I love the water, but its getting hard to swim in my wading pool.   The mosquitos treat me like a grand buffet every time I'm out there.  I think I actually heard them laughing the other day when Mom broke out the bug spray bottle.

10.  I'm going to DisneyWorld!!!    One month from today, I'll be hanging with Mickey and the gang, and watching Mom lose her lunch on the TeaCups.   My life is hectic, and a week in sunny Florida is just what the doctor ordered.

  1. I love that picture! We drove around the aquatic center when we were there the other day and wondered when it opened.
