17 months!

It is so hard to believe that my little one is almost 1 1/2 years old!  I realized too that I have done a horrible job of keeping track of what he has been doing lately.  I guess I have just been enjoying it too much!  Here are some of his memorable characteristics at this age:

*  He continues to expand his vocabulary.  There are times when he jabbers away and none of it makes sense and there are other times that you can understand everything.  Ball is still his favorite word by far! He also has added bubble, ducky, treat, cookie (for cracker), drink, shoe, bankie (blanket), swing, bath, Scotty, Kirk, book, nana (banana), milk, fishy… that is all I can think of right now.  He also likes to say, Ready, Set, Go!  We also count together.  I will say one and he will say two!

*  I am amazed at everything he is picking up; he is staring to make connections! To name a few when I ask Wally if he needs to go potty, or outside Landon immediately heads to the back door.  He then loves giving Wally treats when he is done.  The latest thing is when I grab my computer he automatically goes, "Scotty" as he knows that is where we Skype with my brother.  He loves it!

*  Landon loves dancing!  There is one show called Bubble Guppies that he LOVES to dance to.  He also loves dancing to Mickey Mouse's Clubhouses song called Hot Dog!

*  He loves putting his blankies over his head and walks around like a ghost.  Often times he runs into things!  When he wakes up from his naps he will even hand me every blanket and his binky.  He doesn't want them left in his bed.

* Landon loves babies!  Several of our friends have had babies lately and he has loved every single one of them.  We went to the hospital recently to visit Delaney and he was in awwwwww of her.  Then we went to visit baby Addison and loved tickling her toes.  More little girlfriends to add to his list!

*  Summer has gotten the best of his separation anxiety.  Landon has definitely became a mommy's boy.  He keeps his eye on me and whenever I start to leave he grabs ahold of my leg.  Going back to school will be hard.

  1. I think all of us mommies will have separation anxiety in a couple weeks! Lily always loved the "Hot Dog" dance too! :)
