17 Months Old

Cason will be 17 months this week.  Hard to believe.  I didn't do a good enough recap of all the things he says and does in my last post so here is some more:

More words:

  • "Chooch" -- Choo Choo (Train)
  • Clock
  • Eyes
  • Moooo
  • No
  • Teeth
  • "Wass-ah"/"Wass-is" -- What's that/What's this -- This is a pretty constant phrase, even the things he knows, like clocks.
  • Girl -- we think he said this tonight a couple of times after he asked us "what's that" to one of the "Little People" girls
  • Ball -- this is the most recent and is normally said in repetition... "Bah, bah, bah, bah"

Thing he does:

  • Walks up the stairs using the banister spindles.  Pretty good about walking down the stairs too, just VERY SLOW and easily distracted
  • In addition to knowing what "night night" means and running to the stairs, when he gets to the top, he goes through his room right to the bathroom saying "teeth".  He knows its time to brush his teeth which to him means he gets to play with the water in the sink.
  • Is and has been for a while completely obsessed with clocks and watches.  He can find the smallest clock in any room or book.  Sometimes he'll say clock but normally its an excited "Wass-ah" with a point. 
  • Can identify his hair or your hair and then will pet your head for a while.  Cute!
  • Getting really good at throwing things... which is cute when its a soft ball or when we are outside playing with Admiral.  Not cute when its a phone, heavy toy, etc.  I guess this falls under "all boy".
  • Can almost climb into his playset himself.  Has figured out how to get in the right position to slide down the slide but with a little help getting setup, can slide by himself.
  • He likes to play peek a boo.  This has actually be something he can do for a while.  We used to say "Where's Cason" when we covered his face with a towel, shirt, blanket, etc.  Then we'd pull it down and say, in a sort of high voice, "There he is".  While we were in Jackson in July, on his own he grabbed the menu at a restaurant and started covering his face then moving the menu while making this high pitched noise in the same inflection we always say "There he is".  We did the same thing when teaching him where his belly button.  He still does this today, mainly with his belly button or covering his face and he still wont say "There he is", just makes the high pitched sound with the right inflections.  Cracks us up every time.
  • Runs, not walks, most places
  • Has a mission in life to pull every toy out of the toy cabinet before playing with anything twice. 
  • Loves technology -- computers, ipads, remote controls, phones... anything with a button.
  • Dances to the Foster the People Nissan Commercials -- When these come on the TV, he stops what he's doing and starts dancing, runs to the TV to watch.  He and Daddy listen to this CD in Daddy's car so he knows (and loves) the music.

As before, I'm sure I've missed so many things.  I wish I could just keep a video camera on him all the time.
