E is 17 months old!

E is 17 months old and a Big Sister! 

Age: 17 months 

Stats: We are still at 31" tall and 21lbs. Finally in 18 month clothes! She has 16 teeth! All 4 of her canines are finally in. 

Clothes: 18 month, everything! Size 6 shoe! 

Favorite foods: cheese, oatmeal, sweet rice, chips, gold fish, carrots, bacon. Also she loves her milk. She has to have it when she wakes up in the morning at nap time and about an hour before bed. If you don't give it to her she will definitely ask for it... Repeatedly until you hand it to her! 

Favorite words: She says anything and everything you do now! She is also starting to form sentences. Some things she says now are "I love you" (but comes out "I you"), "pound it", "dude", "read", "sissy" and many other things. The thing we probably hear most though is "Again", over and over! I'm so impressed with her vocabulary. She will repeat anything you say, so you have to watch out, that's for sure! 

Favorite activities: She has a new found love for playing outside now that its been nicer out. She loves going to the park or even a walk down the street. She has a little play set at home that she loves as well. She still loves reading. She would read all day if she could. She will sit there and just blab with a book in her hand. You can even catch a few words from the book that she remembers. Some of her favorites right now are "The Wheels on the Bud", "Go Dog, Go", "I love you so...", and "Hand, hand, fingers, thumb".

 

Least favorite activities: Getting her diaper changed is a major challenge these days. She almost always throws a fit. 

Momma's Proud Moment: I have a few. E can now distinguish letters from one another. She knows her alphabet to at least the letter D. Which is great! Another proud moment is how everyday she becomes a better big sister. At first it was a challenge for her. She was not happy about having a little sister but its definitely growing on her. I even caught her telling her sister that she loves her. It melted my heart!
