Raleigh's 17th Mirthday

Seventeen months! Our little baby is getting to be such a big girl.

  • Likes: helping clean up toys, animals, doing big kid things, walks, shoes
  • Dislikes: Having things taken away, especially by Rowan
  • Skills: She is trying to jump but ends up standing on her toes and lifting her arms. She can sing "Caillou" (It's so sweet!) and likes to sing/hum to other songs. She is also getting to be a pretty fast runner.
  • Vocab: buh tee (brush teeth), brocka (broccoli), duh (done), kellkotter (helicopter), eee-beee (airplane), outsigh (outside), cuh-cake (cupcake), puh-cake (pancake), shoes, yuck
  • So big! shirts/dresses and pants - 18mos. shoes - size 5; The last tooth in this latest set has come in all the way making the grand total 16. Somehow I got ahead of myself with the tooth counting. We're back on track, though!
Raleigh Stories
Now that Raleigh is communicating in a way that we can better understand, she's starting to have some funny stories like big brother.

We were eating dinner at my parents' house a couple of weeks ago and the topic of conversation got a little disorderly. 
   My mom: Let's talk about something nice. What would that be?
   Raleigh: burp!

Driving to the library we were talking about why it's not a good idea for Rowan to get his cast wet. We were talking about how it would make his skin yucky and would probably start to smell pretty awful.
   Rowan: It would be like stinky cheese! Stinky cheese man!
   Me: You're probably right about that.
   Raleigh: Nas-tay! Ooooh-weeee! 

Happy belated birthday, sweet baby.
