Hailey is a full on toddler at this point! She just turned 19 months on the 30th of June and she has changed so much! First she is reaching terrible two's I'm sure, she likes to take tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants! It's a huge learning curve for myself and Rob but we're trying our best to stick to a method and not give in. So far it works. She got in a habit of grabbing our faces when we picked her up, not in a bad way cause she was angry, but in a curious/wanting to see our reaction way. We decided to try telling her "Hailey, we want you to be gentle" while taking her hand and gently rubbing our faces. Like we would do for our cats. It worked..she barely grabs/hits anymore! So for now we will just do our best with caution not to give in to her.
She learned a whole new set of skills in the past couple of weeks:
She eats pretty well with a spoon now and also a fork for certain foods.
She colours with her crayons with a pencil grasp.
She gives hi fives, and says/waves byebye, as well as understands a lot more commands.
She started walking on all fours, climbs up on all sorts of things including up stairs at the park and
down the slides...herself.
My most proud moment (which I'll cover in my next post) is she took her first step! This was such
an amazing moment especially with her delay due to low muscle tone. She works so hard!
Here are some pics of her new crawl and also Canada day.
