I’m 20 months old today! I’ve always had a big personality, but it only seems to be getting larger with age. This month I’ve discovered how to fold my arms across my chest to communicate my attitude when I’m displeased about something. I’m not always grumpy, though. In fact, one of my favorite things to do is to enthusiastically agree with people, yelling “yeaaahhhh,” and nodding my head to whatever’s just been stated.
I’m increasingly communicative, and I’ve added words like “airplane,” “empty,” “owl,” “moon,” “monkey,” and “flower,” to my vocabulary – putting me at just under 50 words that my parents have counted. I can also identify three colors correctly almost all the time (blue, purple, and yellow). I’ve also learned how to communicate that I have a dirty diaper, although I’m only right about 50% of the time I announce it.
Unlike my cautious brother, I’m a bit of a daredevil. I love nothing more than when Jack-Jack pushes me very fast on our riding tractor toy, and I’m fearless with regard to heights. I don’t love being left alone, however, and for the first time ever I’ve exhibited some hesitance over being left at daycare. I also absolutely demand that someone stay in the room with me at night while I’m falling asleep in my crib. I’m used to Mommy or Daddy sitting in the chair in my room and singing to me, although I’ve recently begin singing some favorite songs (ABCs, Goodnight Ladies, etc.) to myself while falling asleep.
Current likes: self-serve ice cream
Current dislikes: being alone
What’s a little ‘nilla between friends?
