20 Months

Starting to jump. Especially loves hopping on the bed, then flopping as fast as she can.

Signs "wind"
Loves boots
Really enjoys drawing with Ella (today she told me she was writing an "E" - that's what Ella always says)

Asks "why?" mostly when distraught, so it's a long, drawn out, tearful "wwwhhhhhhy?!"

Hitting when she doesn't get her way, but learning to give love and make it right

Very defensive of her space around other babies. For some reason all the baby friends her age love the take everything from her. Now if she sees one, she cowers over whatever she has and yells "No!" preemptively. 

Obsessed with her Grampa "Bapa". At the beach she would run to him, even if it'd just been 10 minutes. She'd sit on his lap every morning while he had breakfast. 

She liked Gramma, Didi and Uncle Boing too. :)

She really quite adept at her pretend play now, doesn't even need initiating from Ella 

Generally so happy and strong and fun
Saying "I did it!" (quite annunciated too!)
Draw stripes on her face and said "I a tiyer!"
Also says "I don't know"
Begs for Kombucha and makes some attempt at pronouncing it - "oowa"
Sings "Away In A Manger" as best she can at bedtime. Signs "sleep", "baby" and "stars" where appropriate, and always finishes off with a resounding Great Amen!
