"Keeley Bug"

 21 Months

 

1.  You are trying out coming down stairs forward - be still my beating heart! 
2.  Words and phrases are coming so fast! "Stop it!" "Mine!" "Kitty tat" "Ceweal!" "No Sweepy"
3.  You love helping sweep, put things away, dump things out, put wash into the dryer
4.  Painting is your new found fun activity
5.  Learning colors, but "Ye-whoa" is still your fav
6.  My dear, you still get up way too early for my preference..., but you are always so happy!
7.  Scrunchy smiles are fewer now, but they still melt my heart!
8.  We're waiting on one more cuspid to break through and then you'll have 16 teeth.

9.  Who knows why you all of a sudden decide you won't sit in your eating chair at meals and will cry bloody murder until you puke? But when we switch you to another seat you're just fine... Are you two already?
10.  Running circles around the house is your joy as is bobbing up and down trying to jump...
11.  You have the most passionate love for cats... (alas...) and how you nuzzle even their pictures in books makes me laugh!

12. Getting you to eat meat is a real challenge...

13. Boy do you love to dance and your Elmo cooking fridge toy gets you goin'!

14. You HATE having your teeth brushed.

15. Your squeal welcoming Daddy home has got to be one of the best sounds on earth....

16. I love how you initiate family group hugs...

17. So far you are pretty right-handed...

18. You are pretty much only in 24M - 2 or even 3T clothes now...

19. You do a great job of singing along with the Twinkle twinkly little star/ABC song, but I have yet to catch it on video. Not all the words of course, but the tune is there!

20. You're still great at getting back to sleep after you have night cries and thankfully Sarah sleeps right through them...

21. You can use your fork "sork" and "foon" spoon like a pro!
