17 months

 Baby Jade is such a livewire and keeps us busy at our house. She constantly wants to be eating. She started developing an addiction to making us flip through videos on youtube every 10 seconds. She could not watch more than a few seconds before wanting to watch a different one. So she's no longer allowed on the phones for awhile so that she doesn't get addicted. She would love to grab moms phone in the morning and have her turn on a video for her to watch. Only for a few seconds before throwing the phone on moms face. Repetition was key in making sure mom is up for the day. She had the process down. We love her with all her spunk. She is getting a nice scowl expression down and likes to do it to everyone. She loves to dance to her favorite band- Panic! At the Disco. Especially "High Hopes." She also loves watching the music video. She does not like mushrooms. She likes most everything else. Here are some of the things she says now:
Mom
Dad
Done
Dog
Fishy
Drink
No
Yes
Snack
Bye
Hi
Blippi
Shoes

There might be more that I'm forgetting. She is not a fan of swimming so far for this year, but the pools are still on the cool side. She would much rather explore the yard. She does not let mom put bows in her hair anymore. She will tolerate a pony tail for short periods of time. She loves to throw toys out of the bathtub. She is still nursing just twice during the night only. She officially has her room put together and is sleeping in there full time now. She loves to steal Damon's toys and juice. She always makes sure to let mom know when she has pooped in her diaper by coming for a nice stinky cuddle. The moment mom acknowledges the issue, she runs away to avoid a diaper change. Plus I think she loves the chase. She is already wanting to go to nursery at church. The moment sacrament meeting is done, she will try to run into the nursery room. I hope that means that the transition from us not being in there will be smooth as well. She will be officially nursery age next month and mom is SO READY. She "saw" a movie (dumbo) in the theater for the first time. And by that I mean she slept the whole time. She has been taking 1 nap during the day, but has been starting the day earlier so she often wants to nap way too early and when doing so, has a long emotional evening. She hates it when mom is cooking in the kitchen. I think she doesn't realize she is hungry until I get in there and start cooking and then she wants me to help her find something to eat. She is still rear facing in the car and in her infant seat. I believe Damon was forward facing right around 12 months because he was so tall and hated the car unless he was forward. She seems to do just fine- probably because Damon is next to her, but she also is not too tall for the seat yet so that is definitely a factor. Jade loves animals so much. She is just like her momma that way. Any time there is a bird on the ground she wants to chase it. Any time there is a dog nearby, she is waving, saying hi, and running toward it. She is going to be in heaven when Poppy has her puppies.
