17-Months Old

At 17-Months, Mason's...
...loving storytime, the library, and books in general.
...sporting 14 teeth. The top 2 canines haven't yet broken through and his molars haven't fully descended either, but this kid is drooling like crazy so it's only a matter of time before he has a full mouth.
...learning at a rapid pace. He can mimic about 10 different animal sounds {which is a big jump in his repertoire from just the bear growl and puppy bark about a month ago}
...constantly active and he wants to play with bigger kids.
...a pro at mess making.
...is now using a spoon, training fork, and can drink from a cup. He's just really messy though so I give him the sippy cup most of the time so he won't play with his cup.

Mommy Side Notes: He's a booger! His separation anxiety is fairly awful. I can't even leave him in the church nursery for 30 minutes. He can be left at home without me, it's just that I can't leave him anywhere else with anyone else. While his temper tantrums aren't quite as frequent, he's very mischevious adventurous and seems to get into new things every day. He's also afraid of bath bubbles {???} now which is out-of-character for my formerly fearless boy. And lately it's been horrible getting him down for bedtime. He wants to sleep with me every night...and it ain't happening because he's a rowdy bedfellow!

He's doing so well!!! And he just gets cuter every day, which is hard to believe, b/c he's SO FREAKING ADORABLE to start! :)

The separation anxiety is totally normal for that age. Most of the time, they outgrow is within a few months. Robinson's is definitely better, but bed time is still a struggle. Good Luck!
