At seventeen months, Jonas is:  continuing to add words to his vocabulary (his own versions of:  ice, water, drink, cold, blueberry, strawberry, grape, purple, cross, Jesus, key, heater, bicycle, truck, trash, gross, stop, no touch, slide, flower, pretty, sure, good dog, pat pat, pull, zipper, push, and vacuum); doing the sign for “please”; cutting teeth…left and right and bottom and top; enjoying helping MaMa with her work around the house (putting things in the trash and in the dryer, picking up/wiping up messes on the floor, and unloading the dishwasher); saying what a horse, a lion, a pig, and a dog say; champing out on his full transition to drinking only from a sippy cup (the bottle helped us out for a few months during the weaning process) and to taking an afternoon nap in a room that’s not pitch black, and passionately speaking his favorite word countless times a day…”more”.
