Loving every stage....but the stage i find fascinating is prob from 16- 24 months....when they're getting on their feet, they can have a semi convo with you. When everything interests them, when they try to talk but just cant get it our right. When meal time is the up most important thing to do at that very moment (eating sultanas one by one is the cutest).....reading books upside down, plonking themselves down WHEREVER they like just to get a good look at a toy etc. I love it when you can xcite them with bath time, bed time, dinner time - the simplest things to do in a day can just brighten their whole little faces up. Mmmmm i just love the nearly 2 age.........
