Baby center( http://www.babycenter.com) sends weekly updates on developments of my 19month old daughter. I thank God for this free resource because it helps us parents understand what's going on with our baby girl. However, there is always this part that keeps hinting at getting baby number 2. I totally ignore it.
This week, we were to gauge how many words Samara is saying and I took a pen and paper and jotted them down to the best of my ability. It was an interesting exercise because I tried as hard as I could to remember all the words she says so as to reach the average 50 words. I think I made it to 40 something words and was very proud of my memory. Of course when I got home in the evening, she talked some more and I had not listed some words down . She gives stories and has many expressions on her face but at times we do not understand her language.All in all am so grateful for the milestones.
I have been telling my beloved I think she is already 2years. This is because she seems at times to test us. She will deliberately unzip her jumper while looking at me just to see what I will do. She also drops things sometimes on purpose just to see what we will do. On Monday I realised that am saying things in double' Samara stop, stop, or no no, we go we go'. I thought am losing it because generally she is very obedient but there are times she just doesn't want to listen. In times like those we spank her. On Monday I asked for a breather from the double double words and its her daddy who did the spanking that evening. Is it possible that she has reached that terrible two stage we hear of? I know she is a fast one.
At times in the evenings when we get home, she walks away from us. She comes to the door, sees us and decides she doesn't want kisses or hugs. Shortly after, she warms up. Other times she is all loving from when you get home. Its a bit confusing and at times like Emma , I think we have a teenager in the house.
