17 months

A few things from 17 months :)

- You've exploded this month with your ability to comprehend and follow directions! For example, if you have a snack and there is garbage that goes along with it, I will ask you to throw it out and you will put it in the trash. Also, the other day I wasn't feeling well and I asked you to get me some water. You went looking for your cup and brought it to me! Just this morning, I asked you to put your breakfast dishes in the sink and you DID!

- You've started being able to pick up some of your toys when done playing with them.

- More words you're saying now:

Oh no!

OK (okie)

Jesus (heard that for the first time tonight :) 7/22

Steve (dee!)

thank you
please

- In the morning it seems you have decided first things first when we go downstairs, George must be watched. You walk over to the tv and turn it toward your chair and then sit in your chair purposefully.

- Speaking of George, I think he is teaching you how to talk. Sometimes I think I'm raising a monkey when I hear all your little noises ;)

- the other day you were playing on your see saw and talking. You got up and came over to your playhouse and then turned back toward the see saw and started waving and saying, "bye! bye!" I think you must have been talking to your angel :)

- Speaking of your angels, we've been realizing lately that seems to be something that happens often. There have been several times where you will be talking to someone it seems, but we don't see anyone there. Waving, talking, clapping, making excited noises and faces. It's very very neat to see this and recognize that you have the ability to see and talk to Jesus and angels. I asked you the other night to pray Dear Jesus and you just giggled. But when I asked you again to say "Jesus" you did :)
