Pratt is 17 months old today and amazes me more and more each day. He is a climber! The higher the better! Unfortunately for me. At 17 months he still loves his baths or any other water for that matter. He runs runs runs everywhere. He just got his 1st molar. He loves "ishies" or goldfish, "dirdies" or birdies, and he's now copying just about everything we say. Some of his favorite words are "ba" or bath, "bo" or boat, "ca" or car, ball, daddy, mommy, see ya later, yes he really does say it all, love you, bye bye, and many more. He now knows what the cow says and what the kitty says, and he can spit like a camel. He knows where his nose, eyes, ears, hair, belly, and feet are. He dances to any kind of a beat, it doesn't matter if it's actual music or not. He gives the BEST kisses that make your heart melt. He loves to drive anything he can and he loves to sit in anything his little bottom will fit in. He is such a joy and we couldn't imagine life without him. Love you my little stinker!
We always go to Tyson's grandparents house the morning of the 4th, or the 3rd this year, and have a big breakfast with all of his extended family. It's so much fun and we love going every year.

We went to the West Point fireworks this year. Pratt loved them and actually stayed awake this time.
Me and my honey!

Our oven and dishwasher were so old and horrible that I hated cooking anything and started washing my dishes by hand. Yay for the beautiful new appliances in my home! It makes me so happy!!!
We had such a great trip to Flaming Gorge back in June. Who doesn't love 3 days of beautiful sunshine and water??? Pratt loved "driving" the boat and pushing all the fun buttons.
He didn't love the boat so much once in started moving. Nor did he love the life jacket. AT ALL!!
He cried most of the time we were on the tube :( So we only did that once.
He loved being out by the campfire. You can't tell but that's what we were doing.
His cousin Brynlee had a 4-wheeler that she let him play on. We couldn't get him off of that. He loved it and road that thing everywhere. I think we know what to get him for Christmas this year.
Sometimes Brynlee joined him. 
This was Tyson' s swimming suit from when he was Pratt's age. Tyson's mom has a picture of Tyson doing this exact same pose. Hopefully I can get it from her and do a comparison. Too cute!
Pratt's new favorite thing is to put on mom's shoes. 
Hatch absolutely HATES the water. So being the mean parents we are we made him go out there and swim back:)

Pratt likes anything he can sit in. So he'd sit in the dump truck and Ty would push him around.
He also loved making sandcastles with Grandma Chris
And our trip wouldn't be complete without a sticky blue popsicle! We had so much fun and can't wait to go back next year!!
