Keila is 22 Months Today!

  Only 2 more months until Keila turns 2. I cannot believe that time has passed so quickly! In fact, it's passing so fast that I nearly forgot that today was the 6th already.
  Here's Keila's progress from last month.
 1. Her vocabulary is huge now! She's easily combining words to make small sentences. Some of her favorites are: 'Get ready'; 'Hold you!' (she hasn't quite made the transition to 'Hold ME' yet);  'I riding' (used when riding her zebra, the back of the couch, and sometimes Wasabi); 'Toes dirty!'; 'Grandpa...phone!' and 'Dada....car....come home!'. She also knows random words that I haven't particularly taught her. Yesterday she touched her chest and said 'Heart'....no idea how she learned that one. Oh, and her first full, grammatically correct sentence was on Saturday. It was....drumroll....'I want ice cream!' Oops. That kid does love her ice cream. Go Keila go!
 2. Those back teeth have yet to come in, still chewing on things though. Maybe by the time she's 5??
 3. Oh, sleep. I'm longing for the nights when Keila would only wake up once! Lately she's figured out how to open her bedroom door (if she leans out from her crib she can grasp the handle), simultaneously with figuring out that Mommy doesn't just go to sleep when she does. Which has led to many fits when I tell her to go to bed.
 4. Keila has started playing hide and seek along with her favorite game of 'Chase chase'. She prefers to be the seeker but will sometimes hide for me, too. She also discovered how to go down the slide head-first today, so now I have something else to worry about at the playground!
 5. Potty training has begun! Not in full force yet, but we're taking it slowly and she seems to be doing ok with it so far. Maybe in the next few months we'll have that mastered.
 6. Keila is 12.4 kilos according to our scale. She loves to weigh herself and also her baby dolls on it. Not sure about height but she seems pretty average compared to other kids her age.
 Until the 23 month mark.....
