Wow, Makenna, you are already 17 months! You are starting to say and understand more and more everyday and its so fun to watch your little personality develop. You are still quite hooked on Elmo and I think if we let you watch it all day long you would. You are learning to say all the other characters now, too - you say "Aaaa" for Abby and are slowly learning how to say Grover, Ernie, Big Bird and Murray. You are starting to repeat much of what we say and I've lost track of how many words you now know.
You are thinking about transitioning down to just 1 nap, but neither you or mommy are quite ready yet. You either take 2 awesome 2 hour naps in a day or you go down for a long nap in the morning and then just play in your crib during your entire afternoon nap. You still sleep pretty good at night, though there were a few nights this month when you sat in your crib and screamed until I came in by you. When I picked you up, you got right on the ground and started paging through your bible. You like to point out Baby Jesus and the Sheep and say "baa" when you look through your bible. You love books and will sit so nice and just page through a stack of books.
You continue to thin out:( I miss your chubby little rolls you used to have on your arms - they are almost all gone and you are looking more and more like a toddler every day.
You LOVE to give kisses. You are the sweetest girl ever when your daddy asks you for a kiss- you run to him and plant a big one on his face. On Grandpa's birthday last week, he came over to babysit you and you ran all the way from the kitchen into the living room with your arms open wide and gave him a BIG kiss. You melted his heart:)
You love to run around the house naked. After your bath, you insist on running around with your towel over your head, draped down your body. You chase after Bugsey and scream and just keep running. Eventually your towel falls off and you just keep running around naked. You have the cutest, dimpliest little butt:)
You and daddy go to a playgroup every Monday night. Its your special time together and you LOVE it. You aren't the best at sitting still when they read stories or do art projects, but you enjoy the one on one time with daddy. You are turning into such a daddy's girl and when we pull into the driveway you constantly say da da? da da? in the hopes that he will be home.
You are down to just one or two bottles a day. When you get up in the morning, daddy will go and get you and play with you for awhile - you two squeal away in your bedroom and play and read books. You are SOOO happy to see him in the morning. After that, I usually cuddle with you while you drink your bottle, although you are getting less and less cuddly (unless Sesame Street is on, of course:))
