17 months old!

Aubrey is 17 months old today. He has a vocabulary of about 20 words that he says and he understands alot more. He can follow simple directions. He complains about getting dressed and having his diaper changed and wants to be held by me (mommy) alot. He does say mama now most of the time when he wants me to pick him up or he's stuck in his carseat and wants to get out. He is exerting his independence and often does things he shouldn't over again to see what we will do.

He is starting to run and climb. He likes to throw and is pretty good (future pitcher/quarterback in the making) and is even trying to catch. He loves bubbles right now and requests them all the time, along with "outda" which still is outside, another favorite. He brings us books to look at all the time and would read books all night before bed, if we didn't set a limit. He also enjoys his snack after school while he watches, "Elmo" another favorite of his these days.
