17 months old

Yay, 17 months old!

Gogo is changing so quickly!  His vocabulary has grown to include words like: zebra, no more, school bus, bee, bad, and juice.  He loves most foods, but his recent favorites have been coconut water and meat, sushi, rice, broccoli, and apples.

He still loves to go for bike rides, walks and runs, but he'll do almost anything to get to go for a ride (up front) in the truck.  He asks at least once a day to swing in his swing.  He never misses an opportunity to race toys around the deck, and he'll even push me around on his elephant.

One of the funnier things he's started doing has been to yell out "BAD" whenever a loud motorbike or truck drives past our house.  He's become quite the artist - he must've gotten a creative gene from me because Todd is pretty sure that he doesn't have any in his body.

He had his first photo shoot for a kid's clothing company and he did a great job!  While his little girl partner cried the whole time, Gordy showed off his muscles, played ukulele, and did everything but smile for the camera.

He talks/babbles up a storm. He will attempt a shaka if asked.

His daddy taught him how to jump by bending his knees and throwing his arms in the air.  So far, Gordy's feet haven't actually left the ground, but he's pretty sure he's doing it just like daddy.  And, he's become such a little cuddle bug.
