16 months

 As I write this, our little boy is 16 months...but just a few days shy of 17 months!

 One of his absolute favorite things to do is be outside...it immediately calms him down and makes him so happy! Even if we are just throwing a ball, he is content. He especially loves being at Nana and Papa's farm where he can run around, pet the horses, and play with the cat.

 He also loves to eat! Spaghetti is one of his favorite meals...which is why he is stuffing his face below.

 Troy has always loved dogs, and still does. However, he's not so fond of his aunt and uncle's new puppy, Berkley. Berkley loves him, but he just runs away from her. I think it's because she tugs on him and is a little much for him. :)

 Friday nights look different now that we have our little man with us. Last Friday, we went to Jordan Creek and ate at Chick-fil-A....which was a first and he loved it.

 The play area was WAY too busy, so we decided to introduce him to the escalator at Scheels...it was a huge hit! 

 He did not want to stop! :)

Troy is learning so much! He is expanding his vocabulary and understanding so much.
