Mitchell is 17 months old today!
Gran bought Mitchell a cute little outfit while she was visiting. It quickly became our Memorial day outfit and will likely resurface for 4th of July :)
Mitchell is SOOOO much fun these days - talking up a storm! Just yesterday I heard him say probably 5 words that I'd never heard before including some of my new favorites "hot dog" and "stinky".
He's still fairly fond of his mommy (can you blame the kid? ha!) One of his newer things is to show Mommy where he wants her to be. He'll do his best to push me up out of a chair saying "up" and then proceed to lead me to whatever it is that he needs....usually I'm needed to rescue a trapped toy.
I think Mitchell has begun to associate taking pictures with his little chair above. The other day we were playing in the room where we keep the chair and Mitchell sat down in the chair, turned towards me, smiled and said "cheese". Ha! I had no camera in hand to capture the picture - but it's created a mental picture that I hope I never forget :)
He's still on a good sleep schedule; agreeding it's time for bed around 8:30 and not waking until after 7am these days! Woo hoo!
He LOVES the water. We took him to the 'big' pool for the first time last weekend and the water was surprisingly warm already! He had a blast splashing in the water with all of the other kids. Jacob took him down a few slides, which he loved and we had a hard time talking him into leaving when we were done! I think it's going to be one of our favorite summer activities!
He has recently invented his own little game of crochet, using a wooden mallot and his various balls around the house. It entertains him for hours...okay, at least multiple minutes at a time! Jacob bought him a new little train which he calls "choo choo" at a garage sale last week and it has quickly become of his favorites!
We are headed to Minneapolis this weekend to visit my family. Jacob is teaching training downtown MN next week, so we tagged this trip on to the beginning of it. Mitchell is excited to see Grandma, Grandpa and his Aunt Kel!

His outfit is adorable! But how did he get to be 17 months old already?! I love his "sneaky Katie Holmes" smile. He looks like he's about to unveil a very clever plot to get something that he wants. . .
Oh, so much sleep! This is about the time you think it is a good idea to have another!
He looks so cute--and so happy! His expressions are like Jacob's at that age.
