17 months old

Well Eoin is fast approaching the 1 1/2 year old mark (too fast if you ask us).

This month has seen a huge development in speech. We truly have to be careful what we say now because Eoin mimics us so well as demonstrated by him shouting 'What' whenever Andy or I shout it across the house.
Eoin has begun to put two words together of his own accord -mainly things like down please, help please, open please, oh and big bubbles, all done and get down. He has too many new words to list this month but we are definitely in for one chatty little boy.

Other changes this month include Eoin going longer between waking and napping. Eoin generally wakes up around 7am and then nap is 11.30 - 1.30 and bed is now 7pm (instead of 6pm). It has been a little adjustment for Andy and I to have a later bedtime but we are trying to use this extra hour to have family dinner more often.

Eoin is truly all boy - he loves cars, airplanes and balls. This month he also discovered Yo Gabba Gabba and often asks to watch Gabba. Problem with this is that as he only really gets to watch one show a day it's tough for him to decide between Gabba and Zoboomafoo.

One Eoin's developments that I am loving is that he will now sit still for a couple of stories. Before we were lucky if we got through a few pages but now that we have firmly built storytime into his naptime and bedtime routine we are all enjoying reading books.

Well I think that is it for this month - I'll add more if I think of it ;-)
