Phoenix is 17 months old!

           Happy 17 Months Phoenix!

On the 28th September, Phoenix turned 17 months old. My little tiny baby is now a fully fledged toddler, that makes me happy and sad all at one time. 

He's growing so much and so fast, his intelligence is amazing and his physical development is brilliant. I find it hard to accept that he was once this tiny little baby in my stomach and now he's a walking, talking little person of his own.

He's learned a load of new words, and has started forming slight sentences. He understand most of what we say and ask him now too. Phoenix is a little monster at times but I would never change a single thing. 

Phoenix can now say over seventeen words, and he can connect these words to what they actually are too. He can count to five, and has started making me artwork masterpieces all over the house. So far they have appeared on walls, pillows, flooring, toys and his bed. 

Some of the words he can now say are; 

Mama

Daddy

Dad

Nan

Hiya

Bye

Morning

Yes 

No

Ta

Kitty 

Doggie

Oh dear

Oh no

Get down 

Baby

Cheers

Love you 

Hugs

(I can't think of the rest but there are also a few bad words he has said, we won't include those though!) 

His fave colour seems to be red. He loves to be outside with nature, he loves running, walking, jumping, hiding and playing chase. He's adores animals especially cats. He loves to be creative with drawing and painting etc. He loves anything that gives him adrenaline, so is often climbing and jumping off of things he shouldn't be. His fave program's are raa raa the noisy little lion, tinga tinga tales, 64 zoo lane, mr tumble and me blooms nursery. His fave movie is Despicable me. His fave foods are wotsits, roast dinners, Shepards/cottage pie, vegetables. His newest fave toybis cars, he's obsessed with them. He loves playing with all sorts of cars and toys and  his fave teddy is 'Jess' the cat. 

He's a very creative little monster, whether it be with drawing or music. He loves to dance, draw, paint, play with playdoh and so on. 

He doesn't enjoy having his nappies changed, eating fruit or not getting his own way. He isn't a huge meat eater, so he eats a lot of veg and fish instead. He doesn't like to be restricted either. 

He's not a mamas boy nor a daddy's boy, he is most definitely both. He loves to snuggle with us, giving lots of hugs an kisses. He likes 'duvet days' where we munch on anything we like and watch movies all day in our pj's. He's sleeping partly in his own room and bed, but almost always ends up with us in ours before the night is through. 

I'm forever amazed at how far he has come, how smart he really is and gorgeous my boy is. I can't believe how fast the last year and a bit have gone. I spend all day every day with him and I love every minute of it. Without him I would be absolutely no where. 

He's my sunshine no matter the weather. He makes me smile when I'm down. He makes me laugh when I'm grumpy. He makes me whole! 

Phoenix, I am always going to be there for you. I will support you in everything you do and I will follow your lead on everything you want to do. You are growing into a handsome, smart and funny gentleman and I am beyond proud of you. I love you more than you could ever imagine!

Happy 17 months baby boy!
