17 Months Old

Wow...it is hard to believe Beau turned 17 months old on Sunday. He is growing up so fast, it makes me sad! He also has 16 teeth. Wow! Only 4 more to go!! Beau loves to talk, most of it sounds like "drdle doo gbggara", but he can say some words. He loves to watch Clifford the Big Red Dog cartoon. He actually just loves to watch the intro with the theme song. We have to play it over and over and over and then we say that Clifford has to go "night night". Then, Beau will say "ni ni cl" (of course, night night clifford is what he is saying:o)) He also loves to play and climb on everything. He is getting better about playing by himself, which is nice so I can fold laundry, make lunch, etc. while he is playing. Here are a few of Beau's current favorite things:


The first 2 pictures are of Beau with books. He loves to look at the pictures and have people read to them. He likes to sit in chairs or in peoples laps to have reading time.
Reading with Aunt Betty.
"Reading" (looking at the book) in his chair...he is posing for the picture, but he was reading when I went to get the camera.



Beau also loves to be outside. He goes to the front door or side door in our house often and says "doe" for door because he wants to go outside and play. These 2 pictures were taken at his friend, Austin's, 2nd birthday party at the park. Beau is playing with Austin's new toys.



Beau loves to "color" and "draw"....he really likes to try to eat the crayons, paint, markers, etc.


The last favorite thing for right now are his Elmo slippers....As soon as he wakes up in the morning, he will get these off his bookshelf and point for us to put them on his feet.
