17 Months

Abram turned 17 months old today - time is flying by.  I thought I'd share some of things that he's up to these days.

  • Abram's absolute favorite word and location is 'ousigh' which translates to outside.  He's been waking up around 5 a.m. and he will go straight for his shoes and start saying ousigh, ousigh.  He doesn't give in until we go outside.  Once we do go out, usually  no earlier than 7 he is usually so shocked he'll just stand in the doorway taking in the awesomeness of being ousigh.

  • Since his favorite place is outside, his favorite article of clothing is shoes.  He loves shoes in all forms, his, ours, random kids shoes he's found outside.
  • Abram is also an animal lover.  He especially loves dogs which he calls 'woof woofs.'  Abram can spot a dog a half a mile away.  As soon as a dog gets close Abram gets so excited he starts shaking and laughing.  
  • Independence is also very important to Abram.  He loves eating with a spoon or fork and will go so far as to use his hands to stick something on his fork and then eat it rather than eat it with his hands.  He also wants to be the one to push his stroller rather than ride in it.   This is somewhat of a problem since he can't see over his stroller.  We are also starting to have problems taking him to the grocery store since he wants to push the cart.  He also loves to pick up really heavy items and lug them around.
  • Another one of Abram's favorite things is taking a bath.  I've had to start spelling b-a-t-h because if I say the word out lout he'll jump down and run into the bathroom and try to crawl in the bathtub.  When we stayed at a hotel a few weeks ago the first thing he did was figure out how to turn on the water and get in the tub.
  •  Abram's also become quite the little helper.  He likes to 'help' do whatever we're doing, raking leaves, sweeping the floor, folding clothes.

  • And finally, if there is anything that is a constant it is that Abram LOVES to dance.  Anytime he hears music he'll bust a move.  There is pretty much nothing cuter than seeing my baby dance.





Have a great week!
