17 months

Here are our pictures at 17 months old. It is more impossible than ever to get us to sit still at the same time. And be looking in the same direction. Without one or both of us hurting one another or ourselves. Mom still tries…

We can be attracted by the light in the dryer, however.

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

We somehow keep getting cuter and our hair is getting longer! Aurelia’s hair has grown a lot (you just can’t tell because she is so blonde). Mom can almost put a clip in her hair!

We love getting books from the library!

We have been trying out our new plates from Omi. So far, one night we kept them on our high chair tray, one night we dumped them off. We’ll see how things go tonight…

This is us on our first snow day of the season… we were supposed to go to Omi’s but had to turn around because of the snow. Don’t we look disappointed?

We love our baths!

Aside from this being a funny hair picture, Avery was a *little* frustrated that his bath pirate wouldn’t fit in his life raft…

Playing at Omi and Papa’s on a Saturday.

Aurelia loves to take selfies (aka looking at herself in the camera). Avery either runs away or tries to take the camera from mom.

All of that playing with stickers has him tuckered out!

Painting. We both like to splash in the water just as much (if not more) than we like to paint.

One night we decided to make dinner for mommy and daddy. We put cheerios and raisins in our pot, and Avery liked to “taste” it, as you can see. He even makes a slurping sound as he does it.

Mommy has noticed that Aurelia is getting really into her artwork (notice the tongue sticking out in the middle picture- a sign of intense concentration).
