17 months

Wow! We are at 17 months already! 1 more month and we have a 1 an'a'half year old... when did that happen? Going by so stinking fast but we're enjoying every moment. Its been fun and is starting to get more and more fun but harder for sure.

Over the past month we've finally got her room all done and ready for her. I just love it!! She has been talking more and more... she says uh-huh, it's the cutest thing ever. She says bless you when someone sneezes, we would tell her excuse you when she burped or tooted and she then caught on and would look at is and say excuse you when she would do those those things so we decide if she does that in public people are gonna think it was us. Lol... so we have been trying to teach her excuse me instead... She's been going to bed and nap time by herself, we pray with her, tell her love you and good night and Gil tries singing to her sometimes and she tells him night night so he lays her down and tells her love you and she says I love you and night-night... It's so stinking cute! She knows how to open our doors, even the hardest one in the bathroom down stairs she figured out. She tries to unlock our cabinets under the sink. She's learning how to throw a ball and catch it. Learning animals, and colors, etc. She says pizza, but she says eizza, she knows eyes, ears, nose and says them when she points to them. We got her a little baby umbrella stroller and she LOVES it.. she pushes her baby in there for a little bit, but then she takes the baby out and she stands up in there and then sits. She thinks it's for her. She's been a stinker these last couple weeks with bed time and whinning and not going to bed so good, or sleeping really good either, might be her teeth coming in again...  She says cookies and "Oh Toodles" when they say it on Mickey Mouse, she can say Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. She says Flowers, and she loves water puddles. She will grab us our shoes and her shoes when we go somewhere. Trying to climb up everything she is becoming quite the little monkey,  she loves to try and climb up on the chairs while they are tucked in and hide under the table. She learned how to take her shirts off and sometimes she tries her pants and diaper, we've went into her room in the morning a couple times to find her topless and ready for breakfast. She loves drinking from her water bottles. She learned how to walk backwards, started dipping her food in sauces. She says non't instead if don't, I guess it's her combination of the words "no" and "don't". Like always everything she does is so stinking cute!!

Gil started his new job as the security guard at the busweiser plant. He is working overnight 10pm-6am so that he can do school this semester, he is taking a math class and a music class. I think I know which one will be his favorite...
