Hadley is now 21 months old
There have been a lot of things going on this month and with that Hadley continues to change. She is growing even though I don't have measurements to share. I know this because she can now reach the railing on the stairs.
Other things that are noteworthy are that we can now ask her "Where's Hadley?" and she will point to herself.
I have just started to wash her clothes in Tide rather than Ivory and she seems to be fine with the change.
We continue to work on potty training however it is difficult when we are out of the house so much. Perhaps after the holidays we will work on it a little more diligently.
Important to note though is the fact that after Hadley has gone in her underwear she usually recognizes that she needs to go to the washroom and goes there or to the stairs if we are in the basement.
Tantrums are a new "fun" experience.
While they have just started and are usually at home and short lived; it's tiring and hard to negotiate with a little girl who knows that she wants something but can't express it. We can usually ask her questions about what she might want and work with her to figure out what is frustrating her with yes no questions as these are popular words for her. So that is good news. But the process is still tiring.
Hadley has definitely started the teething process of the bottom two of her last four molars. They haven't broken through so it may be a long process but it has started none-the-less. They are making her cheeks rosy and it seems to have instituted a middle of the night wake up call. This wake up call lasts for a long time if I try to put her back to bed in her bed but only a few minutes if I bring her into our bed.
While this isn't a good solution for the long term it will work until after the holidays as we all need sleep to get through this busy time of year.
