Our beautiful Micaela is 17 months old and like always she leaves us amazed and incredibly proud.
Over the past month more than anything, we have watched her become more physically capable and confident. Firstly, she is a climber. She climbs onto the sofa with ease, and loves slides at the parks. She also runs full-tilt with no fear, loves dancing to music, gets into her chair by herself, and has started to throw things overhand.
She is also getting better with her hands. She uses a spoon and fork (although often ditches the spoon when the meal is particularly good in order to eat at a faster rate). She loves coloring and will color certain objects in the picture when asked. She stacks small objects and makes towers of 10+ blocks.

Our little princess is definitely a child of the i-generation. She use our tablet with ease, unlocking it and finding the folder with her songs. Of course, we have to deal with occasional deleted app and random posts in our facebook pages.
We have completely lost count of how many words she now understands. She can identify most common body parts. Her ability to comprehend and understand words and instructions is amazing. She will completely surprise us almost daily with a new word we didn’t know she knew.
Micaela is very loving. She often hugs other children at the nursery. Blows us kisses. Will kiss the computer screen when she likes the video she is watching. And best of all, loves (and requests) “group” hugs from Pablo and me!
She loves her stuffed toys and baby dolls and will try to feed them and take them in turns for a "train ride" up and down the hall. And, she becomes concerned if they are “injured”.
Just this week we started talking about potty training and it made me realize just how much Micaela has grown and changed in such a short period of time. To think she use to be so small and helpless and now so cheeky and grown-up.
Happy seventeen months, sweet little monkey!
We love you even more than bears love honey (and everyone knows that’s an awful lot)!
