17 Months Old!

We are in full blown toddler mode over here! (Well, we have been for months now I guess!) I'm pretty sure we are hitting the terrible two's early. Does every parent say that? Ha! Probably.
Jack has always been a stubborn booger but MY GOODNESS he can throw a fit with the best of them these days. And sometimes for the most ridiculous of reasons. Let's face it... to the parents, it's always ridiculous. For instance, he had a cup with a little bit of pop (gasp!) in it. I'd asked him to sit on the floor if he was going to drink it and he did. But he tried to get up and was going to spill it since he didnt want to put it down to stand up and as soon as he started to move I grabbed his hand to help him. Oh MY mistake dude. Full on toddler meltdown. Complete with running around in circles screaming and crying. Kicking things. You just have to laugh. Whew. I've been meaning to do a post about "Why Jack Cries". I started one morning taking pictures of everytime he cried over something. But it started right as he got out of his crib and had to get is diaper change. End of the world. Followed by me giving him water. My bad. Then I think I blinked. Whoops. Haha! I didnt get very far with that. :)

Anyway, back to what I really wanted to talk about. My 17 month old little boy! Despite toddler destructive mode- he is quite the little charmer, completely utterly adorable, and my heart.
