Ladies, it is so lovely to hear so many different experiences, its amazing how many little bits from each story has similarities to our family's.

At one and a half (20mths/18mths) Elly seems smaller and lighter than others around her age, and took her own sweet time in walking alone, not just cruising furniture and stepping between her parents. She eats finger food and of course loves sweet things.

I think what I've been getting around to saying is that she's still a little small, can be picky with her food, walks, and talks all the time, more regularly with clearer English words, and sings with hand movements.

What I have always found interesting is that for many people she seems behind her peers, yet I see so many times that she seems older in understanding things than her corrected or chronological age peers and has done some things ahead of her peers. Its an odd mixture, yet I am confident that Elly is growing and developing just fine. I hope that each of your little ones brings as much joy to you as mine does for me.
