21 months

Here are a few things I want to remember about Kaylea when she was 21 months old -

• Our sweet girl throws tantrums, especially when she is tired.


• Favorite foods include - apples, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, cookies


• Kaylea has a rather large vocabulary. When we are out, she is often complimented on how clearly she talks and the number of works she can say. She has said 3 word sentences (favorites - I'll cook it; I go to school) and is starting to say 4 word sentences.


• She follows simple instructions - if we tell her to go to another room and get something, she will.


• She can identify some colors - orange & pink she almost always gets right.


• She brushes her teeth (and does a pretty good job).


• She can identify her body parts - head, hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, cheeks, tongue, arms, legs, knees, shoulders, back, booty, elbows, finders. She uses this as a bedtime distraction method.


• Walks up and down stairs (we hold her hand even when she doesn't want us to).


• Throws things overhand.


• Opens and closes door (likes to hear me scream "OPEN" when she closes them.


• Names people/Doodle in pictures.


• Loves to stand on an elevated surface and put on a show singing and dancing (Wheels on the Bus is definitely the favorite).


• Generally an excellent sleeper - most nights we tell her it's time to go night, night, hold her and sing a few songs, then lay her down. She's asleep within minutes most nights.
