Keila's 20 Month Update

  A break from talking about Paris: It's time for Keila's monthly update. And yes, at some point I do intend to finish writing about our Paris trip, just not sure when. Written driver's test has been passed, but now we've got company arriving tomorrow and an upcoming weekend in Dublin. Hopefully I'll get a few more posts in before the end of the month!
  Without further ado: Keila!

1. This kid is a TALKER. She's coming out with new words every day, but her favorite thing to do is repeat the last word of anything you say to her. Which obviously leads to some humorous moments. Keila is a bit slower than I thought she'd be about combining her words (she had just started before the 19 month update) but she is consistent about the situations in which she does it. For example, if she's done with her meal, she will tell me 'More...no!'. She also now yells 'EYES' if any water gets into her eyes during bath time.
 2. No new teeth. Where are those final molars hiding?
 3. Sleep took a backslide after our Paris trip, so we're again waking up about once a night, usually around 5 am. But Mom can deal with once a night.
 4. Running around has now been combined with ...CLIMBING! Ahhhhh! I caught her just before she toppled off the back of the couch yesterday, and she's discovered that she can climb onto the spare bed too. Trouble!
 5. Not much new in the food department. No new allergies (thankfully), still won't drink milk on its own. But otherwise Keila isn't too picky (yet).
 6. New actions.....Keila will tell me if she has 'TWO' of something (two crackers, two pictures, you name it) but I can't get her to count 1 or 3. Will work on that. Potty training is s-l-o-w-l-y coming along, but we're not going to push it. Keila has also started hitting and biting when she doesn't get her way, as of yesterday. Not allowed obviously but I need to figure out how to make that point clear, quick! The Terrible Twos are beginning...
 7.  Keila was about 12 kilos when we weighed her last week. Maybe one day I'll measure her height again, too!

if you haven't already seen the pictures of Keila 'stickering' Wasabi. Wasa is way more patient than I gave her credit for!
  That's it for 20 months!
