Sorry for the brief back track, but I realized I did not blog about Drew turning 17 months on April 26th. Although it may be old news to all of you, it is essential for me to write it down, so when I actually get back to scrapbooking I can just peek on hear and remember important dates and info.. So, bare with me.
17 MONTHS:
WORDS: Drew is talking more and more each day and is getting better at repeating what we say. He has also started to form sentences, crazy! Here are the words he says (you can clearly understand): Car, Bella, Daddy (not just DaDa anymore), Mommy, Ball, Balloon, Thank You, Bill (our Music Minister), Emma (our friend Courtney's 2 yr old), Bye Bye, Teddy, Cookie, Cracker, Nemo, Milk, Geese (one of his favorite words), Blue, Baby, No, keys, Knees
PHRASE: I Like/I Need... then something follows. I am trying to get this on video.
SOUNDS: (he says them at the right times): Uh Oh, Mmmmm, Ooooo, Uh Ah (will shaking his head no)
NEW FOODS (tried): I hate to admit that he loves sweet tea, corn on the cob (cut off of course), hot dog (not a fan), fruit snacks, jumbo rice crispies (a favorite), pretty much anything that is on our plates. Oh, and I can't forget sand (not a fan, LOL), dog food (not a fan of this either).
OTHER FUN INFO:
*Above you will see him in his new rocking chair, which I used when I was little. He loves this chair although he recently found out rocking on it backwards is dangerous since he fell face first on the floor and ended up with a big scrape.
*He loves to be chased by Bella
*He is a big helper not only at home, but also at church. He loves to help put things away.
*Not such a fun thing, he bangs his head on walls and the floor if he doesn't get his way...grrr...
*He has discovered his nose and is picking... sometimes blood follows. This will be a fun habit to try and break.
*He turns the TV on and asks to watch his FAVORITE movie, Cars! His favorite character is Mater.
*He drives his cars on everything... YES, he is still head over heels for cars! Although over the last month or so he has enjoyed watching airplanes in the sky, which he finds himself.
*Had his first ear infection with 103 temp.
*Had his first haircut on April 5th (this is in his 16th month)
*He loves to laugh, he even laughs on command.
*He got 4 new teeth in the month of April
*He loves books, on one of his flap books you can ask him where "9 spoons are" and he goes right to it. He gets all 10 objects right. You can also ask him where parts of a car are and he can show you: Wheels, Grill, & lights.
*He knows several body parts: Ears, Hair, Mouth, Tongue, Teeth, Ears, Knees (actually says this one), Belly, Hands, Fingers, Feet, Toes, and he can point to someone else's elbow.
I am sure I am forgetting something, but this is a good start! Thanks for going back in time with me.

I love how thorough you are w/ his milestones :) He is talking a lot and developing so much! How fun. Neat that he's in the rocking chair you used as a child too.
