17 Months

My happy, carefree toddler is 17 months old!!!! He is growing up so fast. I looked back at his baby pictures not long ago. He still looks mostly the same, but man has he changed. He is not so dependent on me anymore. In someways it's good but I sometime wish he still needed me more. He is so independent. He wants to do EVERYTHING by himself. He can now feed himself with a fork and he is so proud of himself.



He is showing interest in going to the potty. He will sit on his potty for a few seconds at a time and you can tell he is trying to go "pee pee", but no jackpot yet. He has gone "pee pee" in the floor a couple of times and the look on his face is priceless as he watches the stream. He has learned new words...too many to list them all, but I'll highlight a few of them. He is saying "tudle" - turtle, "issy" - fishy, "ub you" - love you. He tries to imitate almost everything we say. He loves being outside. I can't wait until springtime so we can go outside more. Here are a few pictures of him riding his 4 wheeler.
