Maryn is still so very happy-go-lucky most of the time, but showing us more of her red-headed intensity in situations that displease her. She's gotten physical a few times (i.e. slapping her brother across the face, throwing a plate at us), and I may try time-outs a bit earlier with this gal!
A few other fact and funnies about this sweet gal at 17 months:
- This month Maryn hit a milestone - dropping to one nap a day! Little Miss Textbook took about 3 days to adjust and now sleeps 2-3 hours every afternoon.
- She still takes bottles in the AM and PM, but we've switched to almond milk due to some "tummy trouble". She still sleeps with multiple (like, four) pacis.
- Good news - Maryn does have front teeth!!! YEA!!! We were actually worried about this one and always bugged our pediatric dentist friend with our concerns. She got in one front tooth, and the other is breaking through (I think). We also started brushing her teeth every night and she adores it. After her bottle she runs to the bathroom and points to her toothbrush.
- She also loves: FaceTiming on the iPhone; play-talking on the phone; being pushed or pulled in the stroller, wagon, or JB's old red car; swinging; "helping" me (or helping herself to food) in her new learning tower that Mr. Ben built for her; reading books, particularly puppet books and Goodnight Moon; knocking down towers that her brother builds
- Maryn hates stickers or any sort of tape on her. She panics until someone takes it off. Now, JB loves putting stickers on himself and other things, so you can see the issue...
- Besides "Enda", she also now says "yeah" very clearly. Most all questions are met with an enthusiastic "YEAH!" (Unless it's something she doesn't want to do and then there is a fierce head shake).
- Maryn is fearless and "monkey see, monkey do". I suspect that's common with second children, but, whew, keeps us on our toes. She's had more goose eggs this month than I care to admit.
Goodness how we love this little angel.
