17 Months
Well, Jacob is another month older already, and he is now starting to do something different every day! Some new things he can do include climbing up and down steps, signing the word "more," using a fork, putting his milk away in the fridge, pointing to his belly/mouth/toes, and playing "kitchen." It's so exciting to see all these new things that he can do. Jacob is also starting to try and say more words like ew (dih), good job (do da), hi, and door (doh). There are probably more words than that, but it's still hard to tell since most of his words just sound like babbling. Either way, he is working on communicating a lot more now.
Jacob is also working on more teeth- 1 molar and 2 bottom incisors. That will be 14 teeth once those come in! Unfortunately, that also means his sleep has been pretty bad lately. The good news is that Josh gets up with him when I go to sleep, and usually they both end up in our bedroom. Jacob sleeps pretty well in our bed, so I usually only have to get up with him once or not at all. It feels good to get a normal amount of sleep, but I still long for the day when Jacob sleeps in his own bed all night long. Maybe by the time he's 3 it'll happen- haha.
Jacob also finished weaning this month, which is bittersweet but also a relief at the same time. It went a lot smoother than I expected.
Finally, Jacob had his 18-month check-up today. It was early, since he wasn't able to get his shots at the last check-up. He weighs 23 lbs (50%) and is 31 inches long (15%). He's such a happy boy, and I am excited to see him keep growing this next month!
