17 months

Adelyn is 17 months old today. She is definitely a chatterbox and is talking all of the time. She is pretty good at repeating most words that you say. She knows most of the parts of the body, a lot of different animal sounds and basic commands like go upstairs, wash hands, drink milk, brush teeth and sit down. She is obsessed with shoes right now. She loves to carry them, pick them up, find mom and dad's shoes, make us put them on, anything to do with shoes and she's interested. She is still a very good eater but there actually are a few things she won't eat. She's not a fan of squash, zucchini or beets but she is obsessed with bananas, pasta and bread. She is finally showing some signs of attachment to something other than her nook, she has a little blanket doll that we've been putting in her crib for months and she just now is starting to pay attention to it. She still loves her nook the best, but she only gets it when she's in her crib. Here she is trying to sneak it out of the crib and then ignoring me while I tell her no.
