17 Months...Busy girl!

They have kept me really busy around here! I took my first trip to the zoo with Heather, Sean, and Ashley. I got to pet the goats and see some of my favorite animals-monkeys, tigers, and "shish" (translated as "fish")! I also took my first out of state vacation to Beaver Lake, Arkansas. I loved swimming in the lake and riding on the boats. I got to meet a lot of daddy's family there too. I was a stinker though, and didn't want to sleep. I got up at 6:30, then 5:30, then 4:30 and woke the whole house up. I'm catching up on sleep now though. I got my first boo-boo too when I fell down trying to run to daddy. I got to meet a couple of new babies this month too, and had some play dates. We celebrated mommy's birthday too and she got a new phone. That means I get to play with her old one! I now sing and dance along to several kids songs, including The Wheels on the Bus and the Hokey Pokey. I think I said my first appropriate sentence too: daddy monkey hat. (OK, daddy was wearing a monkey mask, but they didn't teach me that word!) Some new words: "its" (hands-when I want to hold hands), hot, stairs, papa, nana, cold, "back" (vacuum), clothes, dock, lake, stickers, tickle, cards, boo-boo, rock, bed, stars. Getting a hug from my pal Ashley Petting a goat at the zoo Where did the shish go? Pointing to the "horses" (zebras) Sometimes I just can't go any more! Go, go, go Cardinals! Daddy, can I borrow the car tonight? Touching mommy's friend's baby Lauren Jaxson was so nice to share his toys with me! Reading a book with Jaxson before bed Jaxson taught me how to dance to a song on the computer Mommy and me, Yvonne and Julianna at the Lake Reading my texts early in the morning In mommy's hat at the Lake I tried to share monkey with "Anna", but didn't want to give him up! Paul with Anna and me Todd and I liked to belly up to the breakfast bar early in the morning Mommy, Daddy, and me on the boat at Beaver Lake-so much fun! Daddy and me on the boat-we were going FAST!
