Grady @ 17 months

Grady is 17 months.   If you see him, he would remind you of a ping pong ball :)
 

Climbing

He bounces from activity to activity. person to person. book display to book display at stores and libraries (gulp). and climbing opportunity to climbing opportunity.

Grady loves:
pointing out birds in the sky.
finding bugs and proudly bringing them to you (lots of box elder bugs!).
tomatoes.
brushing his teeth.
multiple baths a day.
pointing out planes.
fresh mozzarella cheese.
saying "hi."
climbing chairs. couches, etc.
dipping food.
running free.
coloring (unfortunately, not limited to paper!).
music & playing instruments.
suckers.
having his shoes on.
being chased.
touch and feel books.
anything Layla is interested in.
drinking out of a straw.


He could do without:

sitting backwards in the car seat still (It is the somewhat new recommendation to stay backwards until 2.  We may be switching before that!).
grocery shopping (He would like to try all of the food going into the cart).
being left inside when anyone is outside.

They like to brush their own teeth after we get done giving their teeth a good scrub!

 Happy 17 months, Grady!
