Eli's 18 months old
My baby is eighteen months old and he can say NO. Really well. It's not a short, terse NO. It is the sweetest, most drawn-out NO I've ever heard.
Eli is really picking up more words than just NO. We occasionally get a 'yes', a lot of 'more' (typically screamed), 'eat', 'milk', 'snack', 'cracker', 'yogurt' and still get 'downstairs' every morning. He is into naming body parts now, on himself and others, like 'ears', 'nose', and 'mouth'. He pretty much mimics most words we speak to him, and he still signs a lot, too. In fact, his first full sentence was signed, "More, please."
The thing I'm loving the most about this kid right now is his incredible sweetness... it is at his core. It may be his spontaneous Gus hugging, or his sharing of snacks, or his hugs. I get lost in the moment with him.
