17 months

Today our little Bella is 17 months old. It has been 17 months of pure love. You are such a busy busy girl and at 17 months you:

1. Never stop talking....you are saying a few sentences and phrases and pretty much repeating EVERYTHING! You love learning new words and ask what things are by pointing and repeat anything we tell you.

2. You love copying and following your big "sissy" all over.

3. You love music and love dancing to the music. You tell us to turn on the "mon guy" which means music :)

4. You love mangos and every morning you ask daddy to cut you up some mango....you say "Mongo daddy!"

5. You still love mama to hold you a lot! If I don't pick you up right when you ask you cry and pull on to my leg and say "up mama, up!" until I pick you up.

6. You love walking everywhere we go...and you make sure to tell us "walkie walkie!"

7. You are so outgoing and friendly and often greet strangers at the store with a smile and a big "Hi!"

8. You still love your "baba" and have one first thing when you wake up every morning.

9. You love to color. As soon as you see a pen, pencil, marker, or crayon you say "coloring!!! coloring!!!"

You love to laugh!
