Helmet Head

My little T is now 17 months and growing up so fast, I can hardly keep up! He is of course his big brother's shadow and wants to do everything just like him.  He is starting to say so many more words, usually he'll try a word once if you ask him, than he makes a silly face and starts his babble again! But he's trying and before we know it, we'll be wishing he was quiet again:) He loves animals just like Talan so animal sounds are high on the list of our life soundtrack these days. His favorites animals to play with, of which we have a massive bin of them thanks to Talan, seem to be giraffe(do they even have a sound?!), macaws, cow, reindeer, and hippo(he says "Bippo").  He climbed up the stair on Talan's loft bed the other day,  Jason and I were playing on the floor next to the bed and we look up at a baby with the proudest grin on his face! So there's no turning back in the climbing department, although he has yet to discover how to climb out of his crib, and for that I am thankful.  Talan figured that out at 13 months old which landed him in a toddler bed far too soon than I was ready for! For a baby he seems to be eating us out of house and home! He can eat nearly anything you present him, including ribs which for having still just 4 teeth is quite a challenge. He LOVES fruit, anything with lots of sauce and flavorings, and will try whatever we offer him.  He adores looking at birds, reading about birds, and making bird sounds! And now that Big T is back in school, we have more one-on-one time together and I look forward to beach trips and play dates just the two of us!

Here are some photos of the little man wearing his brother's bike helmet...
