17 Months Old
My baby Amelia – you are growing up so fast. Christmas Eve marked 17 months old and I don’t know where the time is flying. You are at an age where you pick up new things every day.
You really understand quite a bit of what we say – we need to be more careful now what we say around impressionable ears since you often try and repeat words. My favorite thing right now is I can tell you ‘go give this to daddy’ or substitute another name or couch and you will bring it to that person – it makes a great way to get you on the go back and forth, and you love the game. You even help bring laundry to the couch, its great! You then throw the socks everywhere on the floor but its a start.
I already wrote about all the cute things you were doing lately. Its hard to remember to capture it all for one monthly post, so I am going to try and write more throughout the month.
We learned that you knew who elmo was – I have never shown you, so it was kind of funny! We pointed to a book he was in and you just said ‘Elmo’ – so we asked Nonni to get you an Elmo for Christmas and she got you two – one for bath and one for play. Thanks Nonni! You probably say 20 words well but I’m having trouble keeping count. You repeat a lot of words now but I’m not sure you know them on your own, but you constantly surprise me.
You eat well still – except when not feeling well. You love your oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast – we still have to bring you right down to eat from the crib or else you get upset. I want you to hopefully have snuggle time in bed with us on weekends, so hopefully you outgrow that soon. Peas are still the best thing in the world and the only meat that hasn’t gone over well was pepperoni – probably a little spicy. I can’t figure out how to get you to eat real fruit – you’ll only eat fruit from fruit cups – with the exception of maybe some melon or berries but now that they are out of season and its been awhile, you may not eat that anymore either.
You sleep well as long as you aren’t sick – we had to go back to 7pm from 7:30… and you sleep until 6:30. Sometimes I still have to wake you up for daycare but not as much as when you went to bed at 7:30.
One of our favorite games, you know your head, eyes (sometimes confused with ears), nose, feet, mouth and my favorite – belly!!! She lifts her shirt, too cute.
Probably the best part is that you are very loving – your hugs and kisses melt my heart – and you melt the hearts of others as you are very giving of your hugs. You hug Ms. Heather, Mr. Chris, Ms. Ginger, the teachers at daycare… you love to hug! And you give the best hugs. I hope you keep that spirit throughout your life.
I love you baby girl – you make my heart feel full of joy and happiness.
Love,
Momma

What a cutie! She’s growing up! She and Caden are doing exactly the same things right now! I mean, exactly! Caden has 20+ words, copies everything we say, learns about one new word a day it seems, loves to take stuff or bring stuff, and he knows all the same body parts AND confuses eyes and ears all the time too! He points to his ears when we say it, but if we say ‘eyes’ he will someitmes point to his eyes, sometimes ears. Isn’t this age just the best!!! I’m really looking forward to getting to meet up with you guys in ATL when i return… maybe a spring trip to the zoo or something!
