At 17 Months:
- She is extremely opinionated, pointing out precisely which books she wants to read or what she wants to do at any moment, which is usually the opposite of what I am asking.
- Her favorite book right now is The Napping House and Silly Sally. Such cute books, so I don't reading them every night.
- She has started requesting "elp" (help) with things. And you also request us to "mone" (come on) when you need that help.
- Just the other day she brought me a package of wipes when she had pooped and she said "ipes" (wipes). She then proceeded to go to the couch and lay down and wait for me to change her diaper.
- She is saying everything these days....
- Onk - Honk, as in, your nose. : )
- Yous - Shoes
- Yockies - Socks (which she likes to take off immediately upon getting in the car....along with her shoes, of course)
- Eh - Hand
- Tees - Keys
- Alk - Walk
- Yes
- Ah-meh - Amen
- Tuck - Stuck
- Top it - Stop It....used when she wants you to move or to stop doing something
- Pease - Please
- Ot - Hot
- She calls Reed, Bubbie.
- She is also all about using 'yes mah'(yes, ma'am) and 'no mah'. I would say she probably says 'no mah' more often, which might indicate which one she hears most often. She also tells Reed "no mah" and he responds with "I'm not a girl!"
- She has started asking us to hold her. So sweet!
- It is a requirement that she buckles at least one of the buckles on her booster seat when we put her in it. If we try to do it, we are usually met with a 'no mah'. When she gets outs, she also has to buckle both buckles before going to play.
- She has recently discovered a liking for 'Momo' (Elmo). She requests to watch videos of Elmo if she sees my 'on'(phone).
- She is very good at giving a sly little sideways mischievous look when she is refusing to listen to what you are asking her to do.
- She is ticklish and has a great little laugh.
