17 Months!

Seventeen months!  My babies will be a year and a half next month.  They get sweeter and more beautiful every day.

 

 

 

 

At 17 months:

• The girls are little climbers.  They climb on furniture, the swingset, and their cribs.  Thankfully they haven't figured out how to climb out of their cribs yet.
• They love their stride and ride dinosaur, mega blocks, books, dirt, the slide, and their blankets.
• They wave and blow kisses at every person and car they see from a distance, but they get shy when confronted with new people up close.
• They love to point to dogs and birds and loudly proclaim, "da".  They can say "mama", "dada", "nana" (banana), and "quack".
• They know that ducks say "quack", cows say "moo", and tigers say "roar".
• We're still dealing with major tantrums on a regular basis.  We also have biting issues pretty frequently.  I'm looking forward to them having a few more words.
• They love macaroni and cheese, any pasta, and pretty much all fruit.  They also love Asian food, and they're getting better about eating meat.
• They drink about three sippy cups of milk per day.
• They wear size 12-18 month or 18 month clothes, size 4 diapers, and size 5 shoes.
• They love to "help". They like to throw their diapers away, and we've been working with them to pick up their books and blocks.
• They love to dump their mega blocks on the floor.
• They love to stand on their chairs and look out the window.
• They give fantastic hugs and are getting better at closing their mouths for kisses.
• They sleep from around 7:30 or 8 until about 8:30 am. 
• As of last week, Harper no longer uses a pacifier.  The first bedtime and nap were a little rough, but we've had no problems since then.  Tannah sucks her fingers, and I have a feeling she might be doing that for a while.
