Eliza 17 Months


At 17 months Eliza is...
1. really becoming her own self. She is developing a real sense of humor. She loves to grab Gretta's blanket and run away and tease her. She is sneaky too.
2. loves to wave hello and good bye to people.
3. is trying to communicate more. She is very, very smart! I don't doubt that she is going to be us a run for our money and also Gretta.
4. understands everything you say to her.
6. Is still really, really clingy. She cries when I leave her for work. It makes me so sad to leave her crying.
7. Has 16 teeth. Eight on top and eight on the bottom.
8. weighs around 25 lbs.
9. rocks out to the beat! Loves the music in the car and jamming in her car seat. She also like to lead the music at church and at home. It is cute to see her wave her arm.
10. is using more words everyday. Some of her words are doggy, duck, stinky, go, thank you, binkie, more and Gretta. Of course they don't all sound that clear, but she still knows what they mean and how to use them.
11. She LOVES CHOCOLATE and will beg for it. But that isn't to unusual because she is my child.
12. likes to play duck duck goose with you. Or I think she just likes to bonk you on the head and say "duck"
13. is pretty good at feeding herself with a fork and a spoon.
14. Eliza has been sick for about 3 weeks. She is finally getting better, but it has been sad to see her so sick.
We love you Eliza!
Love,
Mom & Dad


The pictures are getting harder to take now that she is so mobile.




Gretta had to get in on the action.
