17 months is a fun age for Hunter. He's full of new things and loves to play outside and will pull your hand to make you come with him. He loves his car and will "let you" drive him around in the heat of the day for as long as you want. He's hilarious with shoes and demands that everyone wear them. Knowing what a barefoot person I am makes it even funnier. He will not allow anyone to go without shoes. He's very interested in cars and trucks and will announce "guck" whenever he sees a truck pass by. We have to be careful with that one if he shouts it out in a public place. :) I read somewhere recently that children who play with blocks score 15% higher with their language skills. Well, a trip to Toys R Us assured me that we had some blocks. A lot of blocks. So far, my little scholar ain't seeming too interested! Hmmm, I wonder why? Just want those SAT scores to be up there. We'll have to figure out a way to get him interested in the blocks before too long! A fun part about this stage is that Hunter can understand everything we say. As soon as Hunter senses that we are leaving someplace, he will announce to EVERYONE, "Bye Bye" and wave. It's hilarious and people always laugh. It's especially endearing as we leave the grocery store. For some reason, he really puts on an act as we leave HEB.

All in all, Hunter is in the midst of such a precious stage. We're having the time of our lives just keeping up with him!
