LONG time!!

guess I really need to start keeping up here. Sorry I have been slacking little man! There is just so much going on right now with you if I blink I will miss it. Let's see here....

Teeth
your four eye teeth are through the gums now. Two of them are almost all the way up and the other two are about half way there. You have all your teeth. Although I think you are working on your second set of molars cause you are drooling like crazy.

Talking
The last couple days you have learnt a few new words and are starting to say some words more often. You will say the "e" in Daddy and Mommy now. We have heard you say Auntie, arriba (spanish), water (clear too), woof (clear as day!, nana (banana)and a couple others I can't think of right this second. You are trying to put more and more words together.

Appearance
Each morning you seem to change over night. Your face looks different. You don't look like a baby anymore. You look like my toddler. It has happened so fast. You only weigh about 24lbs. But are healthy and active. You are now 17 months.

Noisy sleeper
We are staying at Grammies right now watching the house while they are on a cruise. On Saturday night you let out a terrible scream sounding like you had a bad dream or something. So against my "better" judgement I went in and picked you up and cuddled with you and let you sleep beside me on the twin bed. You put your head on the pillow and it was so sweet. Your face was facing mine and I could feel your breath on my cheek. But I was too paranoid about you suffocating with the pillow to actually fall asleep myself. Then you would still be asleep but reach over and put your arm around my neck and go "mom" and then kiss me. It was so sweet. You are such a kissable boy and you love giving people kisses although some just don't want it. But then while sleeping you move SO MUCH. I remembered why we took you out of the bassinet at three weeks and put you in your own bed. hahaha.....you are a tosser and turner. You talk in your sleep and you act restless. Once you went to your own bed at 3 weeks we all slept better. But I just enjoyed the moment and held you close. It was pretty darn special.

You are really growing so fast before my eyes. Learning so much. You are just a little sponge. You soak up everything. The talking is getting more and more. The exploring is amazing. You know how to stack blocks and build with lego. It is really sweet and neat to watch. Well you want to play so time to go. Love you little man.
