Big brother, Connor, is now 17 months old! He is definitely one busy little boy and adjusting to being a big brother. I put him on the scale and it has been between 24.4 pounds and 25 pounds. I guess it depends on what time of day I weigh him and if he will stand still long enough. He's still in size 18 month shirts and 9 month shorts. I've just recently put away his size 6 month shorts. I think he is growing because he is looking pretty stocky these days.
He now has a new wake time. It was between 10 and 11, but now it's between 8:30 and 9. I thought I wouldn't really like this new wake time, but he is now back to taking two naps a day. His first nap is usually around 10:30-11 and lasts for about an hour and a half. His second nap is around 3:30 and lasts at least two hours. He is going to bed between 9 and 9:30 and has no problem falling asleep.
He is still eating about the same and drinking two cups full of whole milk. His new favorite snack is fruit snacks. As much as I don't like him eating "junk food," I don't mind giving these to him. I buy the 100% fruit juice ones and they are super easy.
He now has 12 teeth! His bottom two molars finally popped through. He's had moments of irritability during the day and one extremely runny nose, so I was expecting them soon. My mom was brushing his teeth and noticed that they had finally popped through. He responds well to orajel and ibuprofen, and zyrtec cleared up his runny nose.
He now says a lot of words. The list continues to grow each and every day. My favorite word that Connor says is flower. He pronounces it like "wow-wah" and it is absolutely precious. Cameron really likes it when he says "uh-oh" and "please." We are still trying to string words together and "thank you." He does sometimes say "down, please," but other than that, he doesn't trying to put anything else together.
Connor's favorite toys are still his shape sorter and puzzles. He also has this leap frog thing that he can put letters in and it will say the letter and the sound it makes. He like to fit the letters into it. I know he doesn't necessarily know what the letters are or what sound they make, but it doesn't hurt that he plays with it now. He likes to fit things into places. Our shoes are still his favorite place to put toys.
Below are some pictures of Connor. He's one busy little boy, so a good picture is hard to come by.
