Lincoln- 17 Months

Weight: 33 lbs (for the first time you actually lost 0.4 lbs!)

Height: 34 inches

Clothes: Still wearing mostly 2T and size 7-8 shoes.  I have started buying you size 3t in shirt so I can start drying your clothes in the dryer.

Food: You are quite the picky eater. You love pizza, cheese puffs and babanas.  The only meat we can get you to eat right now is ribs.  You like to try new sauces.  I think it is only because Daddy lets you stick your finger in them and lick the sauce off.  You think it is so funny.

Words: DaDa, MaMa, Bye, NumNum, hi, backpack, thank you, truck, Tay Tay, Pop Pop, hi, bottle, up, choo choo, Dex, socks, sit, boom, this, yes, hop

Sleep:You usually got to bed about 9:30pm and wake up around 7:30am.  You take a nap around 11:30am and wake up between 2pm-2:30pm.

Diapers: Size 6

Things you can do: You have started eating a lot better.  You will mostly only try new things for Mommy.  You don't trust Daddy at all :)  You run all the time.  You seems to be a little clumsy too and keep a couple of bruses on you at all times.  I guess that is part of being a boy. We have started letting you use a fork and spoon.  You haven't quite figured out the spoon but you love the fork.  You want to get everything with a fork.  Jumping is your new trick.  You rarely get off the ground but it is so cute. You love giving your brother kisses and will occationally give someone else a kiss. You are a climber.  You climb on any and everything you possible can.  You can also reach the counter tops in the kitchen and open some doors.  You can open the refrigerator door and frequently like to help Mommy clean it out.

One of your favorite things to do is play in your room and dump all of your toys out.  You can entertain your self for long periods of time if we need you to.
