17 Months Old!

I'll be 17 months old this week!

I like to sit in a laundry basket...

...or in my toy box.

Sometimes I wear my princess tiara.

Within the last couple weeks, I've started
throwing and playing with balls.

I love opening and closing the
gate to our backyard.

I like reading with Daddy and Mommy.

I've learned to walk really fast.
Sometimes it looks like I'm running!

I'm learning to recognize letters.
I can point to each letter in a word.

I like talking to the dogs
and birds outside.

I love hiding and playing
peek-a-boo.

I'm really good at taking off
my shoes, but I'm still learning
how to put them on.

I've started talking during the last couple weeks!

I can say these words very clearly:
"Mommy"
"Daddy"
"Bubbles"
"Ball"
"Oh"
"Uh-oh"
"Ow"
"Buh-bye"
"Wow"

Although I can't say "hello," "outside," or "dog"
very clearly yet, Mommy and Daddy still understand
what I'm trying to say.

Mommy and Daddy love hearing the sound of my voice!
(P.S. Now I have 10 teeth--6 on top, 4 on the bottom.)
