Henry- 17 months old!

Slightly out of order but I didn't realize I hadn't published this yet.  

Eating Habits: Eats nearly everything.  Absolutely loves Rudy's BBQ extra moist brisket, he's getting pickier about his Rudy's meats.  Eats oatmeal (whole rolled oats) with mom.  Still doesn't drink much cow's milk, but we keep trying it.  Like to feed himself with a spoon but hasn't figured out scooping yet.

Motor Skills: Can go down the stairs feet first on his belly and sitting/facing foward and scooting down step by step.  Will sit down and go down the slides facing foward.  Can kick a ball.  Will spin around until he's dizzy and falls over, then will get up and do it again.  

Sleeping Habits:  Mostly sleeping through the night, though I can usually get him back to sleep by activating his mobile music remotely if he wakes up.   Goes to bed between 9:15 and 10pm after he nurses and Jason reads some nights.  Finished Lake Wobegon Days by Garrison Keillor and started Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O'Reilley.   He keeps testing out wanting to only take one nap a day and even went 12 hours without a nap one day, but it's better for everyone if he takes 2 naps.  First nap is around 11:30 about 3 hours after he wakes up the second nap around 5:30.

Speech:     Fish (ish), cheese (chiz), da, a very clear "bye bye", row row row, How I won (der what you are),  wee (going down slide), MMMMM after eating something,

When asked what a cow says he says Moo!, sheep = Baa!, cat = Meow!, dog = rururur

Signs:  Has picked up many signs this month and is putting them together. We also bought some of the Signing Time videos to watch.
Help, Milk Please, More Please, cracker, bread, cheese, Dad, fish, dog, hungry, thirsty, meat, eat, change, down, bird/chicken

Teeth :  10 teeth, another lower molar came through this month

Clothing:  wearing mostly 24month/2T size (neck is getting small to get over his head) and a few 3T shirts and shorts.

Other:   Went swimming in the Cat Hollow Pool, still taking swim lessons at AquaTots getting comfortable in the water and can climb out of the pool, but hasn't blown bubbles in the water on command. He is very excited to see Spike (Round Rock Express mascot) and has received hugs, played peek a boo with, gave a high five and had a pointing contest.  Fights getting into his carseat lately.
