17 Months Old

We have been enjoying the cooler fall weather this week, and thought we should spend as much time as possible outside before it's too cold and I get cabin fever. Here are some pictures of Tiernan playing:

He is really starting to enjoy throwing the ball, chasing after it, picking it up, and throwing it again. He is so proud that he can pick up things off the ground without having to hold on to anything for balance.

It was a proud day for Ethan that Tiernan is finally playing with dirt. Before Tiernan thought it was yucky and didn't like his hands getting dirty. For some reason this day he decided it was fun to pick up the dirt clods and throw them across our deck. However, after finishing playing in the dirt, he also decided that the flowers were just as fun...I failed to mention that to Ethan. :)

He liked to roll the ball between the flower pots and have me roll it back to him.

Can't quite reach the ball...

All smiles

Here is the one lone picture I took of him with Jacob when we visited GJ last week.

On another note, I am officially 16 weeks pregnant. We've had two Dr.'s appts. and at both she was able to detect a strong heartbeat, and I was measuring right on schedule (in fact, a little big!) So we might be receiving our little peanut a little earlier than expected. :)
