At 17 months, we
are seeing more personality and spunk out of Amelia than any other time to
date. She is fun and silly with a side
of sass. She adores her brother and has
been enjoying spending time with Grandma Cheryl during her visit.
Growth
Weight: 23.4 lbs
Height: 32" (Maybe?)
She is in 18 month items and occasionally mixing in a 24 month or 2T item but most of those are still a little big on her. Diapers are size 4 and shoes are size 5.
Mobility/Coordination: Amelia loves trying to do a somersault. She now knows how to fly down the stairs on her tummy and likes taking our hands to lead us places. Her favorite game is ring around the rosie.
Language/Communication: One of Amelia’s favorite new words is “truck” which actually sounds pretty close to truck. She says “mush” repeatedly which usually means milk. Other than that, there is a lot of babble and trying to talk but most of it is babble that she insists should make sense to everyone. She can now identify her ears, feet, eyes, and hair.
Personality/Amelia-isms: We’ve recently noticed that when we have Amelia one on one with no other distractions she is a completely different little girl. She isn’t nearly as busy or sassy and is an absolute blast. Not saying she isn’t fun when others are around she is just different and thrives with the one on one attention.
As I mentioned already, she is still full of sass and if she doesn’t want to do something she will let you know by blowing raspberries and shaking her head no incessantly. Biting has still been on the down swing thankfully but boy does she scream when she isn’t happy about what you’ve done to her. I’m talking blood curdling squeal if she isn’t happy!

Sleep: Amelia likes playing with and rubbing a blanket as
she falls asleep sucking her thumb. At
daycare, she has pretty much dropped her morning nap but at home still prefers
to take two.
Eating: No change here… Amelia’s appetite is still about the
same lately. It’s hit and miss with
meals but milk is usually chugged or whined for before she will eat a bite. We are working on this right now because we
really want to encourage eating full meals instead of snacking and drinking
mainly milk.
Teeth: No new teeth this month but her four incisors
are very close. You can see them just
below the surface and I think they are giving her a bit of a hard time.
Illnesses/Owies: None
Brother/Sister Moment(s): Amelia loves to grab Grant’s hand to play ring around the rosie. And I know I say it month after month but she is his little shadow. It is so adorable. She adores him and wants to do everything he does… or try to at least. Grant is becoming much more tolerant and actually enjoys playing with her and asks if she wants to play with him.
Firsts/Adventures: This month Amelia was the flower girl in her first ever wedding, her Aunt Kelli and Uncle Ben’s. She did surprisingly well with no nap but was zonked by 6:30. We also had my best friend Jenni’s wedding in which she held up like a champ before crashing.

We took our first family trip to the zoo this
month. Amelia enjoyed it but I would say
overall it left something to be desired for her at this age.
Likes: ketchup or dip of any kind (she dips, licks it
off, and dips again) ~ putting lotion on ~ playing with my hair ~ ring around
the rosie ~ washing her hands ~ sucking her thumb ~ snuggling with a blankie ~
getting her oils on (as soon as I grab them, she lays down and sticks her feet
up in the air)
Dislikes: eating a full meal ~ being told no
Toddler Moment(s): Amelia is slowly mastering the limp noodle. She is also a master of shaking her head no,
blowing raspberries and screaming when she doesn’t get her way.
