20 months

Eloise turned 20 months on Tuesday. Her language development continues to amaze us as she adds new words daily. I had kept a list but have fallen behind on all her new words. She repeats back almost every new word we say and you can see the wheels turning as she continues to explore the world around her! She still shows an interest in letters and can identify "M" "E" "I" "O" "L" and "Y" consistently and "S" "X" "W" and "A" some of the time. She counts to 10, knows orange, yellow and green and loves to help spell her name at home and at daycare. She loves helping with anything Mama or Daddy are doing around the house and is loving that we can be outside more. Her favorite is to blow bubbles and visit the park. She still giggles at Walter and now calls her "Walter No" since that is what we say to Walter most often. A new favorite game is playing "This Little Piggy" on her own feet or ours. We are loving this age even with the epic tantrums she produces as she seems to grow and change so rapidly. Her personality continues to bring so much fun and joy to our lives.
