Ethan @ 17 months



Ethan turned 17 months last friday.....time is flying! I missed the 16 month photos, so I'm trying to do better. This is the first time I've ever seen his hair lay down for pictures....so I'm wondering if it's time for a haircut or what's going on with it! He seems to be growing daily...and just like in the pictures, he's full of joy and hollering :)
At 17 months Ethan:
-is finally learning to eat some meat...still a very picky eater. he prefers to feed himself, but he's not so good with the utensils yet. He loves bananas, string cheese, and all crackers.
-LOVES to dance....it doesn't take much to get him going, and when he gets really worked up, he can break it down! It's so fun to watch him having so much fun and the boy's got great rhythm!
-Still wants 2 naps a day, I thought with his school routine he would drop one...but he still needs 2.
-is learning to follow directions. He understands when we tell him things and it's so neat to watch him constantly learning.
-still prefers to point and make noises at you rather than talking. his doctor said since he had the ear infections constantly, it was like living underwater all that time, but we hope to have more words very soon.
-is such a joy and we are so proud of him. He is such a sweet child, and it melts my heart every time he backs up to sit in my lap and snuggle in. He thinks he's such a big boy and is really becoming more of one every day. So we are just trying to enjoy every bit of it as it's flying by.
