| She has begun to insist on sitting on the couch just like her brothers to watch a TV show |
 |
| She has this absolutely adorable "princess" dress that her Aunt Kara got her and I had her all dolled up and ready for church one day. There is even a matching bow in her hair, but she wouldn't pose for me at all. She was being a big grump! |
 |
| One afternoon I was sitting on the floor with my phone and she crawled into my lap and started to cuddle with me. I turned on the camera to take a selfie and she said "Cheeese!" too! |
 |
| One day when we said "Amen" to the prayer I looked up to catch Bree "unfolding" her arms. So the next time we said I prayer I peeked and saw that she had developed her own arm folding technique. Any time some says the word "prayer" she puts her hands like this and is ready to go. |

| 17 months old!! |
At 17 months old she weighs about 17.5 pounds. She has a good 15 to 20 words (although that has changed in the last week since she turned 17 months old) and she has finally found some foods that she consistently likes. She likes chicken nuggets, pancakes, cheese, scrambled eggs, ice cream (sometimes...and sometimes it's too cold for her), Boost Breeze (we call it "juice" here), pizza, mandarin oranges (from a can), most fruits (she'll at least put them in her mouth and chew for a bit.....she still struggles to swallow some things), peanut butter and jelly (sometimes), many cereals, teddy grahams, and I'm sure there is more. I finally don't feel helpless to feed her anymore, which is fantastic. It was so hard in the past to know that she was hungry but yet have no idea what to get her to eat. Now I can generally find something that I know she will eat. Yippee! She takes one two to three hour nap a day and sleeps through the night most nights (as long as she isn't cutting a molar...those have been awful!) She has 9 teeth (two are molars and the other 7 are the front ones....4 on top, three on bottom), and dare I say that I'm about ready to dub her eyes "hazel". But don't quote me on that one just yet!
