Some of my friends have been posting lately so I thought I should get in on the action too. I turned 17 months on Saturday and I thought you would like to hear my likes and dislikes from my perspective instead of my mom's.
*Lately, the stroller as been on my nerves. I'd much rather run around and hang with my mom than sit still in the stroller.
*I really love those dogs. I never knew how many there were out in the world. Big or small, drooling or dry...doesn't matter to me, I'm gonna give them a hug and a kiss!
*After my breakfast, I like to take my sippy cup and feed whichever stuffed animal I bring down with me. They gotta eat too, right?
*I've gotten a bit obsessive about things being clean. I don't even want the smallest crumb on my hand or on the table. To let my mom know, I say 'uh-oh' on repeat until she fixes the situation. Then I like to take a paper towel and finish up cleaning for her.
*I am very aware of the 'edge.' If I'm going to climb down the stairs...I get down and scoot backward towards the edge from about 5ft away. You can never be too careful!
*I think I'm getting taller. I can now reach the counter tops and pull down anything that's close. Score!
*My throwing is getting even better. I've always been good with balls, but now I know how fun it is to throw my sippy cup. Man, can that puppy fly! Food is pretty fun to throw too.
*I still love my mom to hold me and when I want her to pick me up, I hold onto her legs, stomp my feet, reach my arms up and whine.
*I have a 'staring problem.' If I'm taking a walk with my mom and I see somebody doing something cool (like kick a soccer ball, setting up for softball practice, etc) I gotta stop and watch and watch and watch. Seeing new things is quite fascinating. I like to try to figure things out.
*I've started to get very curious in the store too. There are lots of shiny and interesting items. When I see one that I HAVE TO HAVE, I scream in my highest pitch so my mom knows I want it. Sometimes I can have it, but other times she says no.
*I'm understanding everything that goes on in my world and what people say to me and you know what? Things are pretty good around here!

Happy 17 months, Gabe! You look so darn cute in your track suit. I love your update and I'm delighted to hear you love dogs. Funny you should mention your cleanliness obsession...that reminds me of someone we both know!

Gabe, I love reading your updates b/c O's sister is the same EXACT age as you! It's fun to hear what she must be up to in Korea. :)
Sounds like G and Si have A LOT in common.
I can't get over how big Gabe looks sitting in that chair. What a sweetie-pie.
Happy 17 months, Gabe! It sure was fun reading your update. Noah also likes to throw his sippy cup and food across the room. You guys know that Mommy doesn't like this, don't you? ;)
Oh Gabe... I'm so glad you are joining the group of babe's writing their updates because you are *so* funny! Now, can you please come here for a visit and explain the whole concept of the "edge" to Spencer?! He thinks it's fun to barrel right off... and this mama is going to go gray!
