We've enjoyed our recent snow days. Cullen went sledding for the first time and loved it! He also loved dragging his red saucer through the snow even though it was twice his size. He continues to be a happy, laid back 17 month old. He has begun talking more and more each day. His favorite words are football and ba-ball. Cullen loves to point out balls that he sees around him. We were at the grocery store and he kept pointing at the cantaloupe and saying "ba-ball." He was right- the cantaloupe was shaped like a ba-ball!! He has also made it a ritual to knock the knocker on the front door as we enter. This drives Ritz nuts! Some of his latest words...buh buy, please, and more. We are learning parts of the body now. He knows belly, mouth, hair, and feet. It's so amazing to see him learning more every day. His teeth have finally begun to come through. It seemed like he only had 2 teeth for the longest time. He's up to 6 teeth now! We will go in next month for his 18 month check-up. It's hard to believe that he's almost 1 1/2!
