17 Months!

GEORGE

Communication: George added the words truck, down, duck, and quack quack to his vocabulary.  Whenever he sees a clock in a book now, he imitates the sound of the clock at Grandma and Grandpa Hadjioannou's house..."dong, dong, dong." George also says "Vroomvroom" when he plays with or sees a car.
On the Go: George can walk down the stairs like a big boy holding Mommy's hand or the spindles.  He is very cautious which makes Mommy happy!  George is still a climber.  He tries to climb an anything and everything!
Number of Chompers: 12 - with a lot of fussing and cranky days all four first molars are in!  Woohoo Georgie!

 CLARA

Communication: Clara added the words truck, duck, quack quack, whoa, and wow to her vocabulary.  When she hears a plane whether she is inside or out she stops, waves her hand slowly across the sky, and says, "Voooom." She also says, "Vroom vroom" when she sees or hears a car drive by.
On the Go:  Clara is getting better at walking up and down stairs like a big girl.  She is also getting better at running.  She is a bit clumsy but I am sure there is a graceful ballerina in there somewhere.  :)
Number of Chompers: 8 - with one first year molar which I think she handled better then George!

Mommy's Favorite Moments of the Month:
-Daddy was excited that George said truck.  Daddy turned to George and said, "Give me 5!" With a huge smile on his face George gave himself five.  Silly guy!
-Clara often wakes up from her nap before her brother.  I swear it is so she can have one on one Mommy time.  After nap recently I told her we had to be quiet because George was sleeping.  We tiptoed past his room.  Spoke in low voices. Played with quiet toys.  Until an hour had passed and apparently she was done with Mommy time.  She ran right up to his door, slammed both hands on it, and screeched.  George woke up immediately but was not impressed with his nap interference.
-Clara's hair frequently falls into her eyes.  When she and George are playing together, he will reach over and brush it out of her face.  So so cute!  Clara is already getting him ready for his future wife!
