17 months

Update on the Hartz-man and life. 17 months of fun... a little late.

Halloween: Hartz told us he wanted to be Captain America (Chris says he really wanted to be Swamp Thing, but that was way too hard to make happen) .. we got to go to a super fun party at a friend's house in our Musikgarten class a few days before Halloween. On Halloween, we headed out to the McGraths and had yummy chili and tons of fun with all the babies trick or treating. 

Captain America!
Sam taking a snooze
Hat swap with Peyton
House for sale: We put our wonderful home on the market. We will see what happens! 



Smores: Hartz had his first bonfire and taste of the goodness of smores. Of course, the mosquitos LOVE him and attacked his forehead while we were outside.



Aunt Katie Visit: Aunt Katie came down to visit us while Uncle Robert went for a boys weekend. We had SO much fun. Play time with Hartz, wine with just us girls, yummy breakfast, and house hunting. Katie took some amazing pictures of Hartz while she was here. I am always so thankful for her capturing the beauty of my kid. 

Reading books

New "sweet" face, right?!

    

Loving watering plants!

Sweet Boy

Picking oranges with daddy
Daddy's Birthday: We went over to the Leavitts for some wings and other yummy food to celebrate Chris' birth. Our small group can always have a good time together. Was super low key.. girl talk, while boys watch football. Perfection :) 




Hartz Update

Hartz has been loving to dance! Runs to the stereo and says "dans" .. once the music starts he starts waving his arms and spinning. Pretty funny. Yo Gabba Gabba CD is the jam (thanks to the Pearsons!)

He is signing "more" for more or please. Just seemed to happen overnight. I had given up on signing, but I have to say it is way cute.

He has moved up to size 6 shoes.

He can say ouch, uh oh, dance, trash, meows for cat still, dog is "da"... he is really trying hard to repeat what we say. I can feel the non-stop toddler talking approaching.

Tooth #12 is popping out. On bottom front right.

We moved to ONE nap! Ah. He stayed awake a few days through his afternoon nap and was CRANKY by 5pm. Wise friends told me it was the time to push him to one nap. So, we play and stay awake until noon. He goes 2-3 hours as far as sleeping. Has been an adjustment for me... our schedule has really changed, but this is where we stay until he goes to Kindergarten I hear.

He is running everywhere.

Loves climbing up into his chair in his room to read books.

He kept straddling his tow truck toy and the cat... decided it was time to buy him a truck he could ride. Loves the thing. Maybe I will get a picture for next month.

Gives real kisses. Mouth shut.

Wrestles with daddy... while I holler to make sure he stays sweet and snuggly.

That sums it up. We have an almost 1 1/2 year old. Yikes.
