Delaney Alina is eighteen months old!
Today is Delaney's half birthday!
Today Delaney picked up some of the letters when we were updating her letter board and surprised me by correctly identifying U, O, A, E, Y, and C! With no prompting at all!
Delaney knows more words like wuh wuh why (butterfly and also Super Why), bee buhl bell (jingle bell), dah dur (cracker), meel (milk), eye, noh (nose), mou (mouth), ear, hay (hair), eh-bow (elbow), ah-meh (amen), and she's doing a great job mimicking things we say. She regularly says "heh me" (help me), "cue me" (excuse me - particularly when she wants you to move), and "tee-too" (thank you), but when we suggest saying "please," she just agrees:
Delaney: Dee
Me: You'd like a drink?
D: Yeah.
Me: Say please.
D: Yeah.
The answer to "what's your favorite color?" is generally "bu" (blue), even if she really doesn't understand colors. Delaney loves to sing "bee buhl bell" (jingle bells) and has started adding more of the song beyond just repeating jingle bells over and over.
Delaney likes to pretend to be a mommy. She gives her baby doll or bear baths and then puts them to bed with a blanket and tells us to "shh. bear. nigh-nigh." Then makes snoring noises. When we ask where her siblings (and daddy) are, she answers "koo" (school). She likes to pretend to go potty and sometimes even lets us know when her diaper is dirty! She loves to undress herself and strut around saying, "I nu[de]!"
At dinner, when anyone stands up (usually it's Emery), Delaney says: dih dow (sit down!)
Delaney has 12 teeth. Four molars, four on the top, and three plus one that just broken through on the bottom. Delaney eats well and her favorite food is avocado.
The other two dropped a nap by this age, but Delaney is still very crabby when she doesn't get two naps, so we'll stick with two while we still can.
This girl keeps surprising us with all she's learning! What a sweet girl.
