17 Months

On the 20th Brody was 17 months! Crazy how fast he's growing and how the months fly by!

New this month:
-Brody is getting his molars! I'm not sure if these are suppose to come in yet but he got his left top molar first and I just felt his right top molar barely popping through. These have been difficult for him and he's really getting frustrated. He now has 9 working on 10 teeth!

-He's hitting now! When he's mad or frustrated he will either hit whatever he's frustrated at or come over and hit mommy and daddy. This has required time outs and boy he does not like those! The cutest thing is when he hits and quickly realizes he's not suppose to do that so he will kiss the spot he hit, so sweet!

-He's a sponge! We have a fridge in the garage where we keep our waters and cold drinks. Anytime we go any place we always grab a bottled water. So Brody now will walk into the garage to leave and feels he needs a water as well!

He tries to plug in his play phone into our phone charger!

He LOVES momma's quilt (the extra soft but slightly tattered quilt that Nana absolutely hates:) Oh yea, the first thing he wants to snuggle up to!

-We've been trying to work with him on going to bed by himself because I realize I'm not gonna be able to do our 1-2 hour rountine that we've been doing with a new baby especially when I return to work. This has been the most difficult thing for both of us. He cries and cries for close to 45 minutes for the past week at bedtime! He will either call out for momma or dada or bed(meaning our bed!) It's so sad but I'm determined that he's ready and we can do it

- He's a monkey and will climb on anything and everything. We really have to watch him because he will find and use anything for a step to reach higher places!

-He's into helping and loves when daddy has a project that requires a hammer, screwdriver or drill. He's actually pretty good at helping and can put things in the correct spot or get you things that you might need.

Ummm...slightly tattered?? Didn't you rescue that thing from the trash like 7 years ago? :)

Nana said...

Yes she did rescue it from the trash! It was one of the first quilts I made over 25 years ago.

It wasn't the trash, Poppy was using it to cover stuff up or put underneath when he moved stuff! And it just needs a little patching and it would be good as new, you can't buy that kinda softness!

Good luck with the sleeping on his own thing! We have yet to master this, and until morning (all day) sickness subsides, it has been postponed. I am really not good at letting him cry it out :)
