Erin - 19 months

Some of Erin's favorite things (19 mos old):

• Playing with markers
• Bringing me items she knows she's not suppose to play with (i.e. markers)
• Bringing me wipes and laying on the ground when shes ready for a diaper change
• Jumping up and down in her crib at bedtime
• Carrying Holly around and handing her to people
• Putting Hollys cat food morsels in her water bowl
• Sitting in the middle of the dining room table to watch Ella color
• Yelling "MOO" at every animal in her favorite book
• Standing on chairs, couches, stools, etc.
• Eating independently and messily
• Stealing other people's cups
• Yelling "mama" repeatedly so i reply with "what baby?" approx. 85 times so she can laugh at me
• She only knows about 12+ words, but just today I could hear her mimicking part of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
• She does NOT like to be left out. So when Ella gets a cup with a straw at a restaurant, she demands one too. When Ella gets a sucker, so does she. Etc. We have to be really careful about what she sees because she's done being treated like the baby!
