17 months old

our little man is almost a year and a half old! he really is moving from the baby stage into a toddler! He is all over the place and into everything all the time! Sometimes I feel like all I do is follow him cleaning up his destruction - but I absolutely love it :)
-
. he is absolutely hilarious and loves to make us laugh!
. but he is also SUCH a sweetheart and doesn't hesitate when we ask him for loves
. his new thing is laying on his stomach on the ground and kicking his legs - he just laughs and laughs!
. now that football season has officially started he can't get enough of it . He LOVES to sit with daddy and watch the games, screaming and pointing at the TV. Sometimes he just can't contain himself and has to run up to the TV and hit it!
. he just got a basketball hoop, and from the moment he wakes up he is dunking and yelling "ball"
. we started Little Gym again a few weeks ago and he is crazy about it!
. he just runs wild while the rest of the kids sit in their mom's laps singing, etc.

LOVING daddy! Teag usually gets him out of bed in the morning and brings him in to me. The other day Teag left early for work so I was woken up to "dada! dada!" coming from his room. I love it! such a happy boy :)

slam dunk!

we went to one of our neighbors b-day parties and he LOVED going down the slide over and over and over...
and he spent the rest of the time in the bounce house, even if he was just in there by himself with Teag and I laughing from the outside
he is the best little helper and can't get enough of the broom. he has his own spot for it between the fridge and the cabinets.
he just got his first pair of 'crocs' and is OBSESSED with them! he has a basketball on one and a football on the other and he loves to show them to EVERYONE...his doctor, my doctor, my friends, people at the store, etc. And when he is in his stroller he loves to take them off and throw them.
I think we may have a future dentist on our hands. He is crazy about toothbrushes! We had to hide our toothbrushes from his because he was always taking them and they always seem to end up on the floor.
and he LOVES to brush his teeth when he wakes up and before bed, and usually a few times in between!

He is so cute Ash. I don't know what is with crocs but we are now on our 3rd pair...OBSESSED!!! If only I could have invented an ugly shoe. He really is darling. Glad to see you're doing so well.
