21 Months


Two word combos. Like a boss. ("baby cow" "uncle Brian" "more please" "green ball" "Papa hat" "no Daddy" etc).
Regularly says "pease" and signs "thank you." If she doesn't, we cue her to "use your manners."
Needs more assistance to go to sleep at night. Insists that one of us "sit" next to her while she takes 20+ minutes to fall asleep.
If cuddling in bed, asks to hold "hans."
Loves to be sung to, and starting to sing along. Favorite songs include "Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle, Row Your Boat, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Jingle Bells.
Lover of Papa, blueberries, applesauce and cottage cheese.
Uses her mama mostly for milk.
Refuses to go to school in the morning, and then refuses to leave school in the afternoon.
Tantrums.
Favorite word = "no," even in her sleep.
Pretend play - making food and giving tastes, more baby play, shaving, going potty and wiping, makeup, etc.
Nurses before nap and bedtime consistently, nurses upon wakeup inconsistently.
Talks about pooping, farting, and wiping. But hates diaper changes.
Is in the toddler class at daycare, and still loves Jessica and Dani, her main teachers.
Likes to hug and give kisses.
Testing boundaries - hitting mama, throwing food.
"Doeeeee." (aka "I do it myself").
"Mine!" Even if things aren't hers.
Likes music and loves to dance. Likes to make her animals dance. Or her spoons.
Pretends to talk on the phone. With an iPhone, a card, or a banana.
Speaks or sings to herself in the carseat.
Displays signs of FOMO - wants to be involved in everything.
Likes horses and saying "nay." Likes dinosaurs, babies, trucks and buses.
If you ask her if she's a Franimal, she growl/roars.
Is more likely to cooperate if asked to "help" rather than told to do things.
Responds better to choices than demands (duh, who doesn't?!?).
Seems to like cooking and being in the kitchen. Uncle B gave her a play kitchen for Christmas that she played independently with for several hours, far surpassing her prior independent play time record of 11 minutes.
Doesn't like beards, and insists on kissing her daddy on the forehead only. "Bea. Eechy. Shave."
Talks about Santa. All. The. Time. But can't stand the man, for fear of the beard. "Sansa. Bea. Eechy. Home?"
"See? See?" Very curious and wants to see what we're doing.
Loves looking at pictures of herself and others, and watching videos. Can name all the people on our fridge.
According to Alex's technical measurements at Home Depot, she is 2.75 feet tall.
She still hates green foods (as in, she won't eat vegetables).
Somehow knows Elmo and describes him as "see see" (silly).
Calls herself "see see" (no more "eesh").
Her hair is getting long. Tried to get her first haircut last week but the shop was booked.
Runs, jumps, dances, plays, crawls, climbs.

Outtake #1: She refused to put on her white onesie. I figured neked is cute too. This was just a few minutes before she peed on the fabric.

Outtake #2: Since she refused to willingly model for me, I bribed her with opening a present early. It worked, but she still wouldn't look at me and smile.
