17 months old

Noah is 17 months old today. He now weighs an even 27 pounds, and I have started making him walk more often since he is so heavy (and such a good walker!). The doctor had said at his last checkup that he is in the 90% percentile for height and 60% for weight. Sounds like tall and skinny like daddy! Noah is entirely in 2T and 24 month clothing (which he seems to try to destroy rather quickly by staining them...good thing Shout is so awesome!)



Noah loves reading books every day, and he calls every animal a "dog." He is talking a little more now, and he definitely understands more too. Noah understands conversation like, "Go get your shoes" and "Where is your milk?" He will help pick up his food off the floor if I ask him to help me, and he loves pushing the laundry basket to wash the clothes. During the day if I ask him "Where's Daddy?" he runs to the window looking for Jason on the motorcycle. He also points to many parts of his face/body when we ask him to find them. He just started saying "please" using baby sign language, and I hope to teach him "thank you" and "more" in the next week or so. Jason and I both feel like Noah is a learning "sponge" right now....just soaking up new words and information.

Favorite foods are hot dogs, balogna, chicken nuggets, cheese slices, pasta, bananas, tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, watermelon, apples, cereal bars, french fries (uh-oh), ice cream (double uh-oh). He won't have much to do with some vegetables, but we are working on that.
