My baby Mia – you are growing up so fast. Today you are 17 months old and I don’t know where the time is flying. You are at an age where you pick up new things every day.
You really understand everything of what we say – we need to be more careful now what we say around impressionable ears since you often try and repeat words.
You love to help around the house, you even help bring laundry to the couch and it’s great! You then throw the sock everywhere on the floor, but it’s a start. You probably say 20 words well, but I’m having trouble keeping count. Your newest one are: open, up, down and teeth. You repeat a lot of words now but I’m not sure you know them on your own, but you constantly surprise me. Also you talk a lot, usually at bed time you have a whole conversation with us before going to bed. (Video coming soon).
You know your head, eyes, ears, nose, feet, mouth, hair, hands, cheeks, chest, and my favorite – belly!!! She lifts her shirt, too cute.
You sleep well as long as you aren’t sick –you go to bed by 7-7:30 and you sleep until 6:00 am. Sometimes I still have to wake you up for the daycare.
You love to dress up and wear mommy’s jewelry; you love to carry purses, you are great at taking care of you dolls and stuffs animal, you like to play with them and daddy, but you don’t like when I tried to play with you two, you push me out of the circle, I guess is daddy’s time.
Mia loves to climb. She really loves to climb on the things she's not supposed to climb on, too. Like the coffee table.
Probably the best part of this age is that you are very loving – your hugs and kisses melt my heart – and you melt the hearts of others as you are very giving of your hugs. You give the best hugs. I hope you keep that spirit throughout your life.
I love you baby girl – you make my heart feel full of joy and happiness.
Love,
Momma
