Memories of Us: 17 Months

17 Months

She's really growing and changing all the time. This month has been so hot we really haven't done anything too exciting at all. We usually walk/play at the park about three times a week. We get there at 8:30 and are usually home by 10 and it's already 90 outside. She seems to be transitioning from 2 to 1 naps but it's usually better for everyone if she takes two. Some days she just rests and plays in her bed for 4:30 - 5:30. It's pretty entertaining to watch on the monitor. She likes to play peek a boo with herself and her blanket. This month we stayed overnight at Papa and Grandma's house for the first time w/out daddy. She did great.

very strong willed

is just so sweet

nods no but says yes hasn't learned to say the word no yet

hard to read to b/c she's always on the go

she gets her night time stories read to her on her changing table while she getting lotion and pjs on

due to the hot hot weather we've been watching some kids shows we've tried Yo Gabba Gabba- she's not a fan, Seseame Street- kind of like, and Barney- she loves it

she doesn't really care about animation but likes singing puppets

loves music so much, it can really change her mood quickly from meltdown to happy girl

loves playing in our bathroom and closet...she is very closely monitored in both places

if she sees that our bedroom door is open she tries to run in as fast as she can

loves being in the pool

loves nonfiction and rhyming books currently: Sea Turtles What Do You Do? Tap, Tap, Tap see what hatching? and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish are her favs, also loves to hear retelling of Bad Case of Stripes and look at pictures but is not interested in actually hearing the story word for word
is into clothes and shoes and has an awesome fashion sense
