Declan at 17 Months

Declan: 1 year and 5 Months

You weigh 22.2 pounds!!
You are wearing 12-18 month shirts, 6-9 and 9-12 month paints, size 3 diapers but size 4 over night diapers, and size 4 shoes.
You sleep from 6:30pm-6:30am during the week and 1 nap from 11-1 sometimes until 2; on the weekends we are usually running errands and eating dinner late and visiting friends and family so you don't get to be until 7 or 8 but you usually sleep 11-15 hours and still take a 2 or 3 hour nap.
You can say dada, momma, milk, more, nite nite, nana(banana), all done, no no, thank you, bubbles, down, TA-DA, duck, bye bye, dat (Mickey), ball, my ball, book. I love to hear you talk and can't wait to hear more words!!
You can build towers with your mega blocks.
You can point to your nose and hair/head and you just recently started pointed to your toes and ears when we say 'Where is your ears or toes'! We are still working on eyes and tummy.
You can climb up the 'rock wall' to your slide without help!! You have figured out how to sit down and then slide down the slide. You get up and do it again.
You love your swing and you love your play house. We have to let you tell us when you are ready to come in because you love the outside so much that you don't want to come in.
You can climb up the stairs up to the porch and then you walk to the back door.
You still LOVE books! You will bring us books to read and then take the books from us and then go sit by yourself and read the books.
You have a basketball goal and you love making baskets and showing off.

Declan you are getting so smart! You have been learning so much so fast its kinda scary!! I can tell you to go to the bathtub and you know where to go anywhere in the house. I tell you go find dada and you find dada. I can tell you to go your highchair and you go to your high chair. We took you to the Gentry Safari this month and you seemed to really enjoy it! You growled at the animals in the drive thru and you just stared at the giraffe when we fed it. You have really started enjoying ketchup. You love dipping chicken and hamburger and even your fingers and then licking it off! We have given you some ranch, it was funny to see your face but you seemed to like it!
