Santiago turned seventeen months on July 4th! Here is what he is up to lately:
- wearing 2T clothes, size 5 diapers, size 8 shoes
- weighs 30 pounds and is 34.5 inches tall
- says "jesh" for yes and shakes his head for no
- LOVES to eat popsicles and will ask you for a "bop bop"
- has two different types of waves and will repeatedly wave at you from across the room
- when I ask him how much he loves me he either holds out his arms or crosses his arms against his chest and tries to say "this much!"
- loves to clean - will take a paper towel and wipe a table or the floor with it
- hates when things are out of place
- notices the smallest of bugs outside and will squat down, point at it with a look of disgust
- he is a very good eater

- loves to dance
- asks for us to put his classical music on by going to the CD player
- can stack his foam blocks and knock them down
- loves to push his train car around the house or ride on it
- follows any direction we give him like go get something for us, put something up, go ask daddy for something, etc.
- if you are holding him and he doesn't want to be put down he holds his legs up so you can't stand him up
- finally likes to wear hats and loves pointing them out when he sees someone else wearing one - even in pictures or books
- likes to watch Sesame Street and loves Mr. Noodle on Elmo's World and Elmo too
- tries to repeat every word we ask him to say and is definitely experimenting with language
