21 months old
This picture is from the Colorado Rocky Mountain Zoo. We were in Colorado last week for vacation (well, 2 graduations and a wedding too.) Molly had a blast on vacation and I did too! It was so nice to spend all day everyday with her instead of the limited 4-5 hours at night since I work full time. Molly learned all about planes, buses and trucks. She also learned all about horsies, chickens and ducks. She's getting to be quite the talker - she's saying lots of sentences now like... "I want milk", "Mommy (or Daddy), I love you" and she still says a lot of stuff that we don't understand. She is almost differentiating between colors - like "Yellow bus" or "Red truck." We play a little game where she says (and points to), "Mommy, bus" and I say, "A bus?" and she says, "Where?" - like she is tricking me. She is so funny. She can also sing her ABC's, although she calls them her EFG's which is funny. "ABCDEFGH...LMNOP...Wee Wee Weh", etc. you get the point. It's cute - I'll have to video that. She can also count to five (with a little help.)
This stage (21 months old) has been trying on us - as far as patience. We have a hard time taking her to restaurants, she doesn't share with other kids her age, she yells "NO, NO, NO, NO" at the top of her lungs in the grocery store, she runs away from us whenever she can. She throws the biggest fits! She throws herself down on the ground and kicks her legs. She has a concept of time out but we're not sure if it's working. She's gotten a few spankings. Whew.....
