Xol turned 18 months 3 days ago. In the last week & 1/2 of her 17th month she started to climb…everything! She climbs up chairs and ottomans. She scales down the couch, chair and the bed. So, 17 months went out with a bang!

On her 18 month birthday she learned how to say “nope” (not that exciting because she learns at least 3-5 new words per day) and it sounds so cute!! She also learned how to do a fishy face. I give her a funny fish face every once in a while and I could tell she really wanted to do it. So, that was the day she chose to show off a perfectly fishy face!

At her check up today, the doctor was amazed at her vocabulary skills. She said Xol is operating just above the 2 year old mark! She doesn’t just memorize words, she demonstrates knowledge by attaching objects and actions, calling out their function or making 2 word sentences.

I’m so proud of my talented toddler!
