- Learned to identify and say the capital letters of the alphabet (16 months)
- Started climbing on furniture. She can climb on couches and chairs without help but she has a little foot stool she prefers to carry around and use to help her get up (16.5 months)
- Started eating off of a plate and is slowly learning to hand it to us when she wants more or is done instead of flipping it (17 months).
- Goes down slides all by herself at the park.
- Saying lots of words. I updated her list of words the other day just to get an idea how much she can say and she has over 200 words that I could think of.
- Still loves being read to. She would love to sit on laps and read books all day.
- Counting. Grace can count to 11 and is starting to show that she knows when she counts she is counting things. She likes to count fingers, toes, and blocks (17 months).
- Obsessed with putting on shoes and going outside. Mentioning either word sends her to the front has impatiently waiting for shoes to go on and the door to open.
- Learning to identify people by name. She knows Grandma and Grandpa for both sets of grandparents, her cousins Josh and Jenna, her aunt Laura, and several of her friends that she sees regularly.
- Throwing temper tantrums. She is really beginning to learn that she can have some independence and wants what she can't have. Hence the temper tantrums.
- Caring for her dolls. Very recently Grace has taken to carrying her dolls around, putting them night night, laying them down and saying diaper like she wants to change them and really being into caring for them. She has always liked her babies but this is a new thing. Hope this means she'll be a good helper when her baby brother is here.
That's all I can think of for now. I'm loving this age and can't wait to see what Grace will learn/do next.
