This is you at 17 months.

On October 28th, we went to the pumpkin patch and you picked out your own pumpkin.

You and Daddy carved it together.

You thought the guts were a very weird texture.

You didn't sit still the whole time, but a lot longer than what we thought.

You were a cupcake for Halloween 2012.

You went to Grandma Kimmy's house and to Papa & Gramma Karla's house to trick or treat.

On November 2nd, we had a play/dinner date at the EP mall with the Drankas that were in town.

You love playing with friends and Mommy loves to see you and Ellie together.

You love playing at the mall. Now that it is cold outside, it is a great place to burn some energy.

You still love your Minnesota Vikings!

You make the funniest faces!

You still love to cuddle with Daddy in the mornings.

You enjoyed our annual Stager Christmas on November 10th at the Wright's house.

You love your Papa (Grandpa) so much!

You love to give kisses.

You are still climbing up on everything and being so adventurous.

Your favorite snack right now are cereal bars.

You got to meet Philip Phillips at Daddy's work on November 13th.

You got another hair cut on November 18th.

You are just so beautiful. I can't get over it.

Before that though I liked putting your hair in a little pony on the top of your head.

You still love to wear Mommy's shoes around the house.

 

You still enjoy bath time.

You sit like such a big girl on a regular chair now when you eat.

Your puppy Bella, loves to sit by you still and catches everything that you feed her drop.

We will often find her or one of your other puppies laying outside your bedroom door at night.

You sometimes like to play in their kennels.

You sometimes will just sit and watch a show in Mommy's chair, but it usually doesn't last for that long.

For Thanksgiving we went to Papa and Gramma Karla's house like we do every year. We saw Great Grandma Kleene, Great Auntie Laurie and other cousins. It was a great family day.

You went with Mommy & Daddy to go visit Grandpa Todd at the cemetary.

You have the best smile and dimple in the whole world and I love to smooch your cheeks!

You are getting to be such a big girl.

I love our little family and you so much!!

You are just so funny and goofy all the time.

You still love to play outside. Especially at school. They have all sorts of neat toys and a big jungle gym.

You love to climb.

You still love to swing.

You would stay outside ALL day if we let you.

You also love to go to the mall and play. I can see us doing this regularly this winter.

You went to a Lynx playoff game on October 14, 2012.

You still sit in the cart pretty good, as long as you are holding something.

You love to make a mess with your toys.

You don't like cleaning them up though.

You love to dig in the cereal containers at Papa's house.

You are so adorable in your new winter peacoat that I got at Old Navy. 

We get so many compliments on it.

You are wearing mostly 18 month clothes.

You are wearing size 4 diapers.

You love to sit in your princess chair and watch cartoons.

You love to give your puppies kisses. Bella is the only one that will actually let you.

You love your Daddy to pieces.

You think he is so funny, which he truly is.

You love to be the center of attention. I wonder where you got that from.

You started on a real bedtime routine this month. We watch Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood in the living room as quiet time with a sippy cup of milk. Then we head into your room and sit in your chair and read a few books. Then we lay you down in your crib for "Night Night."

You do not take the bottle anymore before bed. We got rid of that cold turkey and did the cry it out method. It took a few nights, but you caught on fast.

You have the cutest little smile!

You are just so precious to us and we love you so very much!!
