Ellie's language at 22 and 23 months

Most of my notes about Ellie at this age are about language.  That is the area she is most focused on! And that I love paying attention to!  Most other development stuff is similar to 18/19 months or will be rolled into the 2 year post.

Ellie at 20 and 21 months


20 months: Mar 26 - Apr 25
21 months: Apr 26 - May 25



An epic Ellie post!



20 months:

Frustrating month- tantrums, saying no!, whining, can't decide what she wants

She an put on socks. Can do shoes sometimes and straps if already looped through.

Canines coming in, cranky!

Wakes up in their room and calls for mama

Sings "Let it go"= at go!, 


21 months:

Epic meltdowns - can't figure out what she wants. Wants something but then doesn't want it. Did it in the car on the way to my parents.
A few days later:
Carried her screaming across the parking lot at Jonesboro rd. While wearing Daniel.  She was cranky all morning. I tried to provoke the full out tantrum in the morning but it didn't happen. After shopping she wanted chocolate but mommy took a bite. Wailed!  She wanted it then she didn't want it. No!! Back and forth. I put it in mouth because it was melting. She tried to pry it out of my mouth. I tried to give her a small piece. No!, she yells.  All this as I'm lugging them both across the parking lot.

5/14:
Has been saying potty for a week or two. But if you asked  if she wants to sit on the potty, she says no. And protested if you tried. But today she sat on it twice!  Nothing happened. But she sat for multiple minutes. Downstairs I helped hold her up on the regular potty. Upstairs she sat by herself on the little part that is integrated into the toilet seat we got a month or two ago.

Also, has been asking for a "beppa" (diaper) right after pooping much of the time.

4-16: moved from the high chair to a booster seat at table!!


Monkey see monkey do in serious force. Does everything Claire does. Milk and tv on couch like Claire, wanting hair brushed (saying ow! like Claire)
