Burkleigh Ann is 17 months old..

You are 17 months old..wow!

You weigh 23 lbs and not sure how tall you are.

You wear a size 4 diaper and 12-18 mo clothes and a size 5-6 shoe.

You were a good napper until recently.  You've decided you don't need those and you meltdown around 5 if you haven't taken one.  I'm hoping this phase will soon pass.

I will be glad when you can talk and you can tell us what you want instead of whining and fussing.

You can pitch some fits..that's for sure!

You still give me fits every time I try to change your clothes or your diaper.  Whew!  

You are a pretty good sleeper.  You are usually in bed between 8 and 9 and will sleep till around then.  Lately, you've been waking up and crying and won't go back to sleep until you are in bed with us.

You do sleep so much better when you are in the bed with  us.  You actually sleep through the night.  

You love to look at pictures on our phones or on the walls.  You really love your who loves burkleigh book.

You will point to all the people when we say their name.

You are trying to say some words and you said Chase.  

You love him.

You can do patty cake.

You can blow kisses.

You can climb up and down steps (at mimi and pop's house) and Mimi taught you how to come down backwards.  You love to play on the steps.

You can blow kisses and you give some sweet kisses too.

You love suckers and anything sweet.

You love to drink out of a real cup and you do okay as long as its not real full.

You love to play with coins and wallets.  You will empty the cards out of our wallets and carry those around and play.

You like to play with the utensils in the dishwasher too.

You are a funny girl!

You like to open and close doors and hide toys behind them.

You do not like for us to put our feet on the couch.  You like for them to be on a certain spot on the floor so you can put your toys behind them.

You love to put things inside things.

You like to play with your puzzles and your blocks.

You have the funniest, little laugh and you think your daddy is pretty funny when he reads Bingo to you.

You got sick this past month with a fever virus and then it turned into roseola and you broke out in a rash.

You threw up twice in the night..your first time to do that.

You love to dance.. you crack us up with your dance moves!

You've started spinning around in circles too.  ha

You love giving high fives.

You love to be held and I think you would let me hold you all day if I could.

You are growing up fast and learning so much. We love to watch you learn and grow.

You are going to be a great big sister.  You love to point to mommy's belly and give "sissy" kisses.  You love babies!

I am so proud to be your mommy and we are so very thankful for you.

You are the light of our lives! 

We love you sweet girl!
