Oh Boy...Oh Boy!: 17 Months!

17 Months Old! Gavin and Graysen have accomplished so much this last month! They can identify their nose, mouth, ears, head, feet, legs, and hands. They have also stared to sign milk, more, eat, and hear. They are saying a few words like duck, Dada, ball, truck and sometimes it sounds like they are saying each others name, but maybe not! They love to run and climb on things. They are attempting to jump and it is adorable to watch! Below are LOTS of pics of this past month - Enjoy!

Gavin being very helpful!

Unfortunately, the boys were sick this month for about 3 weeks! Gavin loves to sleep normally, but when he was sick he need lots more, however, Graysen didn't want to give it to him! In the picture below I had carried Gavin in from the car where he had fallen asleep and stayed asleep in my arms and on the floor!

We had a Garage Sale this month and in preparing, I found these scarves in my closet that don't go well with sweat pants! What a great toy they have turned out to be!!!!!!

Gavin & Graysen

Graysen LOVES the scarves!

(He slipped in the tub and got his first black eye)

Gavin was so proud of himself for this accomplishment

and just stood in the same position for about 5 minutes smiling!

Gavin stuck under the table!

With our colds, came breathing treatments. Gavin tolerated them much better than Graysen, but they both loved getting to watch cartoons during their treatments - a first for them!

Climbing has become a favorite past time for the boys, so moving things has become a necessity for Mom and Dad!

Graysen - this took all of about 3 seconds!

We took the boys to their first parade and had a fun time!

They loved to see the silly cars and all the people!

I took the boys to a Nature Center, it didn't go as well as planned;

Graysen was scared of the animals...

Outside play worked out much better.

Graysen & Gavin check out the large turtle!

We have been working with a speech therapist who suggested these silly sound microphones, at first the boys didn't really get the concept, but now they LOVE them!

We went to Deanne Rose Farm with some friends and unfortunately, Graysen was still scared of the animals! Gavin loved them and even helped Dad feed the goats!
