But, even so, I have this one and a half year old that I contend with everyday that has some independence. Something I'm pretty sure I longed for during those long & sleepless days and nights. Now, instead of her needing me 12 hours out of the day (since she spent the other 12 sleeping) she comes to me when she needs something. She climbs up in my lap to snuggle and give kisses. She and I entertain each other, and can actually communicate with each other.
I tried to make a quick list of Elise's development, and of the new things she doing.
- She says MaMa, Doggie, KiKi (kitty kitty), Thank you, Daggie (Daddy), Please (pees)
- Gives High Fives
- Gives kisses and hugs *selectively*
- Knows and points to where her head, feet, nose and belly are
- She will go to her bed when she is asked if she's ready for a nap
- Goes to her changing table when asked if she needs a clean diaper
- When asked, she finds her cup, blankie, shoes, phone, paci, deer, Violet, etc.
- Brushes her hair and teeth
- Helps to put lotion on, and put her shoes on
- Loves to dance to music and occasional attempts to sing along
- She goes to bathtub when asked if she's ready for her bath
- She likes to have clean hands and frequently wipes her mouth while eating with napkins or her burp rag
- We keep her burp rag out for her, so when we tell her to go wipe her nose or her mouth she finds it does so.
- Goes to microwave/fridge for food/drinks
- Throws paci's, cups, toys when mad
- Uses spoon/fork to feed herself
- Loves to help do laundry and unload the dish washer
- Current weight: 23lbs
