19 and 20 months

I realize that I forgot to do a 19 month post so I'm going to cheat and do 19 and 20 months together.  Mark and I went from saying "I could take this age forever" to "Holy Crap, I want to pull my hair out." Elliott started to comprehend more things which was really fun for a while.  But as his comprehension grew so did his frustrations when he didn't get his way.  Maybe this is just the terrible two's early?  On top of that we went through an almost 8 week sleep regression which brought about 2 hour stints of being wide awake in the middle of the night.  YIKES!  But, the light is at the end of the tunnel.  Elliott is now over the sleep regression and now that he's getting more sleep the whining has subsided, at least a little. :) 

Aside from all that, Elliott continues to amaze us every day.  His list of words continues to grow.  He now says mom, dad, ball, up, hot, bottle, baby, duh-ah (tractor, or really just any vehicle), more, hat, apple, doh (go), no, wow, duck, and bat. We also found out this week that Elliott can point out most of the objects in his color book when asked.  This really amazed us because just last week he wouldn't even point to the basketball on the page.   

Love to read!
