17 MONTHS

Lou turned 17 months back in March.  This girl is really starting to show a cute personality.  She loves to say "CHEESE" when she smiles for a picture.  She has few more teeth in that smile too.  She got two more up on top...and three on the bottom.  One next to her bottom middle teeth and two surprise molars.  She is up to a grand total of nine teeth.

She continues to wear 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers.  I just moved her up to size 5 shoes.  She is not so little anymore...and she is trying to be just as big as her siblings.  She loves to climb up into this little rocking chair as Phin and Millie practice piano.

 Sometimes Phin even lets her sit on his lap while he plays.

Here she is trying to get away with one of the kid's music bags around her neck.


She can climb just about anything. She climbed up on the little kid table in our front room to watch her siblings playing in the snow. 

 

She was thrilled when they came close to the window to say hello.


 

She loved the ice cream cone from Dairy Queen.  


 

We got out the little potty because Lou has been waking up in the morning dry.  She refuses to sit on the big potty...but is happy to test out the kid potty (fully clothed of course.)



 

She has been climbing up on our kitchen table...which as been driving me crazy.  One of the kids left a chocolate pudding that she was delighted to find.


 

She has been loving school.  She is on the toddler side of her room now and does tons of activities as a result.  They learned about Mexico and she got to dress up.

Lou loves writing utensils.  Here she is watching Millie like a hawk...hoping she will leave a pencil within reach. 


She tries to sit in this little cupboard under the TV in our basement.


 

She loves to do whatever her siblings are doing.

 

She still LOVES her binky...we are trying to limit it to naps and bedtime.


 

She also LOVES books.  She raids Silas' bookshelf daily.



Although I wasn't thrilled about snow in March...she didn't seem to mind playing with her siblings in the snow.








Happy 17 months Lou!
