17 months

It's so interesting to watch a child who really does embody 2 opposite extremes: fierce independence, confidence, and curiousity and yet also a totally and completely loving, cuddly and angelic nature. These last 3 personality traits have been present since the day he was born exactly 17 months ago, and in the last month or two, our little Lo Lo's has really come into his own as he tries to keep up with his brother and explore the world around him. He wrestles with the other 2 boys of our house, no longer walks, but RUNS, and although is a man of few words, communicates clearly (and loudly!) what he is after. I love this age because it is such a turning point. The best part is that although he is getting to be a bigger boy very quickly, the sweetness that everyone knows and loves is still ever present. And I simply can't get enough. He has a smile that makes all around him smile back, and his coyness and cuddly nature shows his sensitivity. I love seeing all the layers of this little boy, and I sure love him BIG!
