17 Months

Hi Everyone,

We have had a pretty busy week here. Grammy came over on Monday and babysat, while Mommy and Daddy went to work. We had a good time. Mommy has been taking me outside everyday to play. I love being outside! We found a new place to explore. I have been in a pretty good mood and starting to say some new words.

Mommy took me outside yesterday and let me play on the deck. She was very tired from her Field Day at School, so she filled up a bucket of water and I played in that for awhile. It was hot yesterday and the water felt good on my arms. Mommy was surprised that I did not wander off. She was sitting with me, but sometimes I stray - not too far though, I can't leave my Mommy!

We have a pretty busy weekend. Baba Christine is coming over on Saturday. Mommy is going to visit Daddy for a little awhile at work. On Sunday, we may go to the Zoo. Depending on my mood. On Monday, we are going to the Amherst Memorial Day Parade and to a Pancake Breakfast. I am also going back to Little Gym on Saturday. I will try to be on my best behavior.

I did turn 17 months on May 19th. No doctor visit this month. However, when I was sick, I went to the doctor a few times and I weighed 19 pounds. I have mastered the stairs. Mommy still can't get over on how well I do the steps. I love to close doors. I am starting to say new words, but Mommy and Daddy's favorite word is SHOES. I said BUBBLES for Mommy last Sunday.

Have a good Weekend!!!! Love, Niko
