17 month update

Here's what Miss B (Bella or Busy or Beautiful - whatever you like - we like them all) has been up to lately.

1. Climbing! Climbing! Climbing! She can now hoist her leg up on the couch, but can't fully get up yet - give her time - maybe hours. She wants to climb on the TV stand, the chairs, the fireplace. Mike found her in the kitchen climbing in the drawers! Yes, we are babyproofing things we didn't know needed to be babyproofed.


2. She is 20.11 pounds and 31.5-32 inches long.

3. She loves to dance - she's always loved to dance. But, now she is turning around in a circle. Adorable! How do they learn these things?

4. She enjoys the outside - she is my daughter - so hopefully she got the "I-love-the-Earth-and-hug-trees" genes.

5. When I sing "The wheels on the bus" she'll sing "oh oh oh" like she's saying "round and round". She loves that book!

6. One of my personal favorite things is when she'll back herself up into us. She'll turn around to make sure she's going in the right direction and then back up to sit down. She'll stick her cute bottom out and keep backing up before she'll finally land in our lap. And usually she's carrying a book or a toy - which adds to the cuteness.

7. She is getting an attitude! She is still well behaved but she is definitely testing her limits. And, she is starting to throw tantrums when she doesn't get her way. Some of the tantrums include throwing herself on the floor - and, if we walk away she stops, finds where we are and do it again. Drama?

8. She is hugging and kissing all over - little sweetie pie.

9. She has 4 more teeth - molars. yikes! Those things are big and hard to come through too.

10. She has her first ear infection and is on her second round of antibiotics to get rid of a double ear infection. yucky!

11. She still like to push the laundry basket and collect anything and everything around the house.



We hope you enjoy the updated giraffe pictures. My parents came to visit so i'll post that visit this week - maybe in two installments since we had LOTS of cute pictures. Thanks mom!
