HJ: 17 months

This little guy is a delight.  He wakes up sweetly calling for Mama or Dada.  He spends the day smiling and trying to do whatever his siblings are doing.  He talks and shakes his head yes or no, he is quite expressive with his eyebrows, and he has been known to let out a strong no and finger shake when he's not too happy about something.  He loves shooting, throwing, catching, and batting-anything with a ball.  He usually laughs the hardest when he's running circles with the big kids.  Or, being tickled.  He has started blowing raspberries on my neck when I'm rocking him and just giggling.  He also will point to his bed and nod his head when he's ready to lay down.
