Starting with, at nearly 17 months now (really???) he is still NOT walking (punk!), just started swim lessons this week, and continues to build a vocabulary of words and sentences that do NOT include "Mom."
He weighed in yesterday at 22 pounds and about 30" tall. He has been trying to break in his stinkin' molars for the past month or more... they are raised, angry, and still not cutting- NOT FUN.
Happy things originate from FOOD or music. He has absolutely been drawn to the guitar, keyboard, and other musical instruments throughout the house. Also- water- on his terms- has been a source of fun. While being submerged hasn't gone over well, he absolutely loved the latest trip to the beach, and after the first swim lesson, has been more intrigued by bathtime!
Everything is an opportunity for trouble. If it's not breaking baby food jars throughout the kitchen, or throwing in towels into the bath, or dumping a bottle of pond water dye all across the back patio, well - then he must be sleeping. I cannot even imagine what the years coming will bring us ;)
