17 months

Another month has come and gone and with this month came even more entertainment and amazement as we watched Aubrey grow. She is becoming such a ham and loves to show off her new found tricks...repeatedly. So when she does something new there is no denying if she did it because she will usually repeat it again many many times. But, it's so cute that its hard to get bored with it.

17 month milestones
*Says about 18 words now, with the best one at this point being "whoa" ---gets me giggling every single time
*Loves to bring a book and sit in your lap while she "reads"
*She is getting better at drinking more milk
*She loves being outside more than anything
*Her feet have finally started growing- she is now in a size 3 in most shoes and a 4 in her Crocs-- I was beginning to think she'd never move out of the 2's
*She has starting waving hey and bye again
*She has discovered that squealing gets a major reaction out of us--so she does it A LOT
*She is starting to transition to the toddle 2 room at day care
*She really understands a lot more now--when we say go night-night or let's take a bath she walks to the baby gate because she knows we are going stairs
*She knows what sit down, lie down, and get up mean and is usually pretty good at following the commands
*And speaking of bath, she goes completely nuts when we say the word bath. The girl loves a bath more than anything
*She gives mouth wide open kisses and hugs and knows how to high five
*She is still working with a spoon and making a bit of progress
*Her top 2 canine teeth broke the skin on 6.24.10, only 6 more teeth to go
*She's still mostly wearing 12 month clothes, but because of her Buddha belly, a few 18 month shirts fit pretty well

Since we haven't had any tongue sticking out pictures in a while, here is an outtake.
