Door knob covers

I had to put our first door knob covers on today as D figured out how to get the bathroom door open!

17 months

D was 34.25 inches tall weighing  33 lbs 6 oz. today, or at least something close to that! It's hard to stop this toddler long enough to get completely accurate measurements. :-)

He discovered that he can open our freezer and get his teething rings in and out, which quickly became something he wanted to do every few minutes. Well today, he discovered that he likes ice cubes, so that's now what he's trying to sneak out of the freezer.

He had an ice cube in his mouth for this picture.

Steps!

D walked up the three steps from the family room to the kitchen this week a few times by just having his hand on the wall - can't believe he's getting so big already!! We were talking tonight too, and his 16 month birthday is right around the corner - time is definitely flying by and he's growing fast. He's definitely a sponge to all that goes on around him.

He's really liking to use his fork and spoon and also is definitely watching the adults around the table and wants to do what they do. He watched Grandpa Garr taking a drink through his straw tonight when we were out for supper and wanted to drink that way too (instead of using his sippy cup), so I humored him and we used that in addition to his sippy cup.

He graduated from the straw sippy to a soft spout sippy a little while ago. I'm glad that he can use both as we forgot his regular sippy when we went out the other day and drank his milk from a straw in the bottle. We're still working on regular cups, but he's getting better at those too!

I put the Christmas tree up tonight after D went to bed. We're just going to go with lights on the tree and no ornaments this year. I know he won't be able to resist exploring and I don't want to get a play yard just for one year to protect the tree.

He also had his first sleigh ride inside and outside this week - pictures to come later. He really enjoyed it and did NOT want to come in.
