As much as Anna Claire learned and grew physically her first year - the way that she seemed to ALWAYS be doing something new - she now seems to be growing mentally and interactively! She is developing a spirited little personality, and it's just the most fun to see her develop!
Just the past week she's learned to climb on the couch by herself (scary!), spin in a circle, try to jump (adorable because she bounces, but won't leave the ground), try to write in a book with a pencil, say "thank you", give a real kiss and try to drink from her bowl. (Truthfully, there's probably more, but that's all I can think of!)
She's also developing a will - I do not look forward to the days when we have to start disciplining her, because they are coming quickly! If she doesn't get her way - boy, watch out! We try to say "no" and restrain and/or redirect her, but sometimes she is just very persistent! You certainly don't have to teach them to get mad!! :) Lauren Malphurs calls toddlers "precious little sinners" and that is certainly appropriate!
