Leo is 17 Months Old

So.. I never did a 15 month update on Leo,  so 17 months will have to do!



Leo,

 You have become shy.  You love your mom and dad and want us around.  You're definitely  are going through your separation anxiety phase.  You love, love, love the dogs.  Rose is your favorite and you try to call every dog "Rose" now even though you say "doggy."  You've decided that 6 am is the best time to wake up, almost every single morning... You're just now getting better with your vocabulary.

You say:
Mommy
Daddy
Doggy
Ball
Maya
Hi
Bye
Eat
Drink
Up
Cheese
Rose
Tree
Help
Birdy
What's that (Dat)
Want that (dat)

You make the following animal's noises:
lion
tiger
bird
cow
elephant
owl
duck
giraffe
gorilla
monkey
snake

You throw many short silly temper tantrums where you throw yourself on the ground every day.  They are typically because I won't give you more cheese (you're favorite food, which you like to help yourself to in the fridge), I won't let your sister fill an open cup up with water and ice for you anymore because you just keep making a mess, you can't go outside, or I won't let you attack the dogs.   You love books right now.  Your favorites are Animal Opposites, Hello Baby, Brown Bear Brown Bear,  Dear Zoo and How Do Dinosaurs Love Their Dogs?.  You remain obsessed with balls and are already pretty good at riding the scooter!   Your favorite foods are cheese and beans!  You don't seem to like bread (weirdo ;) )    You, of course, want to do and be involved in everything your big sister Maya does!!  We love you so much buddy!  You're a super fun little boy!!!

Love,
Mom

At 15 months Leo weighed 20.95 lbs (20%) and was 33 inches tall (96%).

Longwood Gardens

The kids and I have been a lot of time at Longwood Gardens lately!  This past visit they had their fall pumpkin display out in the outdoor children's garden.
