20 Months

Lucy:

• can frequently be heard starting sentences with “I want…”
• has finally started to eat cheese, and is crazy for apples lately.
  
• loves her “nalk” [milk]. Ask anyone at Target who heard her protests when I refused to open the half-gallon right in the store.
• always requests "kinkle" when you ask what song she wants to sing (Twinkle, Twinkle).
  
• gets excited about eating pizza ("pisa! pisa!")
• started taking baths in the big bathtub, and loves it!
• for some reason calls most any monkey a “tommy.”
• has discovered and LOVES Curious George ("Where's George? George comin'?")
  
• learned how to give "uckles" (knuckles/fist bump).
• still likes to sit on the potty from time to time, and still doesn’t do anything in it.
• can be heard giving me instructions in the morning: “Mommy, jacket! Mitts! [mittens]”
• wears size 2T, although sometimes the pants are still a bit long.
  
• is much better at saying “thank you” and will address the person, i.e. "tee-too, Daddy."
• can say the names of several colors, but usually answers “What color is this?” with “blue.”
• is working on numbers and can count to 2, occasionally 3.
• is learning what a circle is [“see-co”].
• likes to cook in her kitchen and make apple pie or tea for everyone.
• wants “tails” in her hair, and gets mad when I won’t keep putting them in after she immediately pulls them out.
  
• gives THE BEST hugs and kisses!
