17 Months and never been this busy!

Burke is 17 months! Where is the time going? It is just flying by. I can't believe my baby boy is already 17 months! I get teary eyed thinking how quickly he is growing.

So what are you up to these days Burke?

-You are a little social butterfly. You love people and you don't know a stranger. You say hi to everyone! You definately got my gift to gab!

-You love to wave to people! You do it to everyone!

-You love to go to the pool! Not because you love to swim, you do like to swim, but you LOVE seeing the kids, walking around checking out others drinks, throwing shoes in the pool, checking out what is in others bags. I so wish you would just sit in the pool and splash, but not you! You are on the go! The other day we had a pool party with some friends. We were all eating our pizza and Burke was walking around with Paige (who is 15 months). Someone said, "Alicia did you bring a Sonic drink?" To my horror there was Burke drinking a Sonic drink that he had just found sitting by the pool. EWW!!

-You are on a schedule! Well, almost! You are 17 months and I am embarassed to admit I never conquered the schedule! I have a friend and her daughter is on a great schedule. Burke and I, well we fly by the seat of our pants! No really, you go to sleep around 8:00, wake up at 5:00, yes, that would be 5:00 a.m.! You take one nap a day. I'm calling that a successful schedule!

-You love to walk to our neighbor's house. You expect every time we go outside to get to go to their house. You walk right up to the door and knock. Adorable!

-You still aren't a very good eater. You still love fruit, blueberries being your favorite, cheese (you could eat cheese and blueberries until you are sick), cookies, cheeseburgers, french fries, pizza, and yogurt. Not much else though. Maybe an occasional PB&J or grilled cheese. But you are quite finicky.

-You go into the pantry several times a day to get the cookie container. YOu bring it to me very proudly and demand a cookie! I think it is just the cutest thing! YOU are a mess!

-You scream when you don't get your way. We are working on this one! I don't care for it one bit.

-You love your Crocs and know when we put them on we are going somewhere! You also know we don't wear them in the house!

- You like to help me do laundry. You will pull the laundry out of the washing/dryer machine and hand them to me or just put on the floor!

- Every night before bath time, Daddy gets you nude. Once you are naked you run to me just to show me you are ready for your bath. It is so stinking cute! I love it!

-This month you had a scary moment with the vacuum cleaner. You unplugged it while I was vacuuming. When I went to plug it back in you took off towards the vacuum and were standing right by it. When I plugged it back in it immeditely came back on. It scared the poop out of you and you took off running. I hated to laugh but it was funny. You also tripped so you couldn't get away. I know it sounds horrible but it was too funny!

-When you see Paige you go up to her and say, "Hi" like you've missed her. It is so cute!

-Whatever Paige is drinking even if you have your own tippy cup you both will swap cups just like that's how it is supposed to be. Very funny!

-You like to sit in things. Unfortunatley you are getting bigger and you can't understand why you can't fit.

- You love clutter! I will organize everything and you will notice that your toys are organized and you will just trash it all.

- You are in love with your pacifier. Lord help me when we take it away. I am so dreading that day!


You are the love of my life. Each day is different. You are a mess and I love you being that way! You keep Momma on her toes! I can't imagine not having you. I can't imagine how boring my life must have been. You are the little man of my dreams and I thank God for you daily!
