16.5 - 17 Months

Stats:

Weight: 27 + lbs - 90th percentile

Height: 31+ inches - 70th percentile

Her vocabulary is ever expanding - she's repeating words, and she understands simple sentences/instructions

The week she turned 17 months, something flipped and we are in the "No" zone now. Like..."No....no no no no no....NO!" Grrrrreat!

She knows where her nose, mouth, feet, and sometimes, hands and ears are.

Some of her favorite words are "No", "Daddy" and "Bird"

She's had her first few corner times...and is well aware of what "go to the corner" means, judging from her immediate change of expression - think a big pout (which looks so cute that I just want to laugh and kiss her! Must R.E.S.I.S.T!)

She's getting very concious of me not being with her - when I drop her off at daycare, the moment we walk through the doors, she'll start clinging on to me and wail. It's only with me though, not my husband.

Her hair started getting into her eyes...

And there was something definitely mullet-like about the style...

It annoyed me...so she got her first haircut

As did Buddy...

Well...it's not HIS first haircut..

Although he's sure acting like it's a horrific experience...

She still loves her books and music

And bags and shoes

Her favorite TV show is "Make Way for Noddy". At 7pm every night, she'll say "Noddy!!"

She understands choices, consequences (somewhat) and the fact that there are some rules that she has to follow.

She's hard-headed, stubborn and is an individual. But at the same time, she tries to do what we do. And she will come and grab all her stuff so she can sit by you.

She loves affection, attention, someone to play with and to cuddle with.

She's inquisitive, challenging and sometimes, naughty.

She's just starting out.

The possibilities are endless.
