Well it is official! Our little girl is a year and a half old! She is still the happiest, silliest, cutest kid I know! She is so much fun to be around. She is starting to become more and more toddler like though. Her answer to many many questions is "No", and even though she knows the rules around our house she will make sure to test the consequences several times a day. One thing we are struggling with right now is walking on the couch. She can crawl up on the furniture by herself now, and of course she thinks it is great fun to run on and jump on the couch. She knows she is supposed to sit on her bottom when she is on the furniture, and she will regularly say "Bottom?" to me while she is standing on the couch. We also have a rule that she is supposed to sit on her stool in the bathroom to brush her teeth (so she doesn't run around the house with a toothbrush). She will often stand up next to her stool with her toothbrush. Then we take the toothbrush away (which she loves - it has Pooh on it!) and she is very sad. We know that all of our friends who have older toddlers are laughing reading this because they know how much worse it will get in the months to come. We will just continue to take it day by day. Right now we consider ourselves lucky because the hardest part about this stage is not laughing at her when she is doing something she isn't supposed to do, but that thing is particularly funny....like running out of the locker room at the gym naked after finishing swimming. The fact that I had to run out there after her in a soaking wet bathing suit made it a little easier to stifle the laugh, but there is still something hilarious about a laughing, running naked toddler!
