Seventeen Months Old

My sweet baby is seventeen months old and will be eighteen months old soon. Time is flying by. This month has been full of progress for Caleb. He started walking! He is now steady on his feet. Unless he gets bumped or knocked over. Which frequently happens with all of us running around and Lady added to the mix. But he recovers and gets back up again.

The other wonderful thing is the amount of food that Caleb is eating these days. As long as he's not in his week of fever then he will eat as much, or more then Jakob. His favorite food right now is french toast. We cut it up and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it and he loves it. Leif and I loved to watch him eat his fill. It's comforting to know that he's finally getting as much food as his growing body needs. Life's a lot easier with those four little teeth.:)

Caleb has found a new love for reading. We frequently catch him sitting at the book shelves looking through books. He also loves to bring us the books and sit with us as we read. I LOVE to see my kids reading!

When it comes to talking, there's not a lot to say. Not that he doesn't have anything to say.:) HE just points, shakes his head, screams, or says na na na na. Very occasionally he'll say Mama. But it's usually more like MA -MA! Leif said that Caleb walked into grandma's house today and said grand - ma! So not much progress there. But I'm not worried. We've ordered the Baby Einsteins First Signs DVD. So that should be fun.

So, that's my baby. He's growing up. I still try to catch a snuggle as often as I can. That's usually just after he wakes up. I Love My Little Bright Eyes!!
