So once again I have been absent for a bit. A walking, learning to talk little boy keeps me busy. Tons of teeth and running all over the place. Starting to say more words every day. His favorite thing at 17 months is brushing his teeth and watching Elmo. Or EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE as he likes to screech. So can you say tons of Elmo shit is in this house. But he is a great little boy. Getting so big. Taller than other kids his age. Not that there are many around here. Just one and they have fun when they get together. Loves animals. We have found some parks/zoos/farms to take him to on occasion. He loves to pet the animals. Well his idea of petting. You know the slamming of hands down on the back/side/head of whatever animal is closest. We are working on this. He also loves to throw anything that he isn't supposed to at anything he isn't supposed to. Working on that as well.

Here are just a few recent shots of the boy. I am amazed more and more each day with him. The ones with the animals are from the reston zoo and frying pan farm park. The one with the monkey is from the living room. It gets harder and harder to get shots of him. He doesn't really stand still any longer. But sometimes we can get a good shot.

Hope everyone is well and well see you soon!
