17 months: First 'words', Christmas, and Sleep!

Here are my first words: more (it kind of sounds like 'mahr'), ball, and woof (okay, not a word, but you get the point). I like to eat, play, and see animals. And I continue to sign different words, like signing for help if I need it.

I am getting more adventurous. Like sliding down the little slide in my room on my own. I also like to ride on the back of Anna's tricycle. And I like to play in the snow.

We went swimming as a family, and I can float around on my own with inflatable wings! Amma thinks is is super cute.  

This month we worked on sleep a whole lot. I moved to my crib in my own room, which is a big thing. This means that we are beginning to wean me from nursing at night. Unfortunately I still wake up a whole LOT (sorry Amma) and need comforting still. And usually Amma breaks down in the wee hours of the night and brings me into her bed or lies down with me.

Christmas was a lovely time. Seeing colorful lights at the Botanical Gardens. Opening presents. Making cookies. Eating with family.

This month we also had a party at Appa's house with friends and we hung out in Denver with uncle Chris (he even shared his peanut butter cookie with me). And I have a lot more teeth, including incisors and molars.

Thank you God for Christmas, lights, rides with brothers, and cute outfits.
