Hello ladies and toddlers
It's been a while!!!!! ill twice before Xmas and New Year and dealing with work there, decided I'd have a bit of a BabyBump day!
Gabbi is coming along nicely, I think. Her speach is slow but she is learning 2 languages!! lol She almost runs, kicks and throws balls, turns in circles and laughs when she can't walk straight, walks backwards, plays chase, still obsessed with anything she's not meant to be (laptop, computer, TV, any appliance, phones etc etc!!!). She climbs on absolutely everything and if she can't reach, she brings her car in a stands on that!!! She now uses you, e.g., she's not allowed to turn on the printer so she gets your finger to turn it on. Or, like last night, we turned over from Baby TV to the news for OH and she got my hand and took it to the TV to change the channel back! OH couldn't stop laughing!!!
When there's a child on TV, she gets her dummy to put in their mouth! When she gets the opportunity to go in my makeup drawer, she gets eyeliner and takes the top off and puts it back on!! I was amazed by that. She walks around the house having a converstaion with herself on her phone, so funny.
On the down side, she has selctive deafness, she will not understand no (but probably does but doens't want to!), oh I try to take her out of a situation and distract her but she goes back to doing what she shouldn't be doing! I have tried naughty step, but that doesn't work. Counting sometimes works, but many a time I get to 3 and then the step comes into play. She still rarely sleeps through but has started to go back down more.
She's a very observant little girl but can be naughty and cheeky, BUT, saying that, aren't all toddlers at this age??? They don't know right from wrong, BUT she doesn't seem to want to either!
She still eats really well, let's hope that continues. Took some piccies on Wednesday at dinner. She had pork sausage and veg. So was picking out eh carrots and peppers and just eating the epas and sweetcorn. When she saw me watching, she started laughing. What a character!!!
So, due to transport problems, we didn't get Gabbi's Xmas pressies from family, due to arrive end of this month. I can't wait because there is an aquadraw for her and as I can't get decent toddler paints, crayons, etc, I can't wait to play this with her. Let's see if she has arty skills like her pops!!!
How is everyone's toddlers getting on?
