a few days ago you turned 17 months old. you are officially old-er. not a little baby anymore. i miss those days when you would let me hold and snuggle you all i wanted. now you are far too busy and have more important things to do (like tearing the house apart). you are getting some new teeth so you haven't been feeling too peppy lately and the other day you actually fell asleep in my arms! it was a miracle and i just held you and held you and held you while you slept. i had to take a picture because i wanted to have proof of the special treat you gave me. you are a really good napper and sometimes will sleep up to 3 hours! i don't really like when you sleep that long because i start to get lonely missing my sidekick. you always wake up happy and point to your books right when i go in to get you. you love to be read to. you're also getting more hair (yay!) and have been waking up with the most incredible bed head. your little bum fluff head makes me laugh so hard. maybe it's from sleeping like a weirdo?!
your favorite show (and basically the only show you'll watch) is meerkat manor. you get SO excited when it comes on, running around hoopin' and hollerin' all maniac like. i'm afraid you're going to ask for one when you get older. your daddy took this picture of you the other day when i was at work. guess what you were watching?
i love that you get to spend every friday with your daddy when i'm working. he usually takes you on a run, which you love, and then you go to the park and swing. you love to swing and get mad when it's time to leave. on your way home before nap you come to visit me at work. sometimes you bring me a fountain drink and i usually let you have a sip or two. you love soda, or "doda" as you call it. you rarely get to have any so it's a special treat. seeing you is my favorite part of the day.
you also have a new favorite game. it's called "chase the dogs and try to run them over with the baby doll stroller." you laugh laugh laugh and think you are so funny. and well, you are...lucky for them they are fast movers and usually manage to escape.
here are a few more pictures from the last bits of our summer...
