Foosa at (Almost) 17 months

Things I keep meaning to write down but never quite get around to...

*Foosa loves to play in the dishwasher. Pulls it open if left ajar and climbs in.
*Favorite toy at my office is a feather duster. Used to act as a parade marshal (better than the plunger he used to use), and to dust his favorite sitting cabinet. Also likes tubes and greeting cards that feature cats. .
*Gets very frustrated due to his inability to communicate his desires. Got to start using actual words, kid.
*Current 'words' he does use: Up, Aht (Cat), Ot (Hot), Dada (used to mean 'person who loves me,' beginning to understand that when I say it I'm referring to his father - sidenote: I try and get him to talk to his dad when he calls, and he has no interest. The minute I hang up he says 'Dada!'), Baa-Baa (when seeing a picture of a sheep), At (That, said while emphatically pointing), Dupa-Dup (Humpty Dumpty), Ball, Owl, Car
*If asked, he can point to his ears, nose, chin, and knees with 100% accuracy. Working on cheeks and teeth.
*Knows where the bananas live and will head straight for them if asked if he wants one.
*Also knows that graham crackers can be found in my diaper bag whenever he wants a snack.
*All buttons exist to be pushed, and all switches to be flipped.
*Loves to be read to.
*If given Yogurt Burst Cheerios, will systematically pick out and eat all the yogurt ones before eating any of the plain ones. (I think he gets this from me.)
*Doesn't care for TV. At all. Likes the remote, doesn't care about the actual TV in the slightest. People with similarly aged kids start throwing around phrases like Daniel Tiger, and I feel like they are speaking another language.
*Is very good at sharing.
*Insists on taking all of his clothes (still 9-12 month sized, by the way) off the changing table and throwing them on the floor. Also yanks books off of the shelf, usually one by one.
*Skin is showing some improvement thanks to sea salt baths and coconut oil rubs. Would be better if he stopped picking his scabs.
*Goes to bed between 7 and 8, wakes for a snack around 10 or 11 about half the time, then usually goes back to sleep until at least 9:30 if not woken by us earlier than that.
*Hates being told no, or stop.
*Understands how time outs work. If he pitches a fit for no good reason when we are at work, I put him in his pack and play in my office. He figured out really quickly that if he settles down he can come right back out.
*Claps when seeing a picture of clapping or hearing the word. Same with seeing pictures of waving, though he will not do the latter on command all the time.
*Moving away from the everything in the mouth stage.
*Starting to grasp the concept of shape sorting.
*Is a very good eater. Likes almost all foods, even spicy ones.
