Knowing is half the battle

Now that Little Miss A is a full-fledged 15 months old, she has got some serious get-up-and-go. Didn't she just figure out how to walk? Well, she's not only walking now she's CLIMBING all over the place too!

Her latest "trick" is climbing up on top of her picnic table (that is just about as high up off the ground as she is tall, mind you) and then standing up there and telling everyone who will care to listen, "No NO." Yesterday, after no less than half a dozen time-outs from D, she STILL was climbing on top of the table, grinning away, and saying, "No NO."

Today I expected a repeat of at least that much but she completely surprised me and hauled out with what might be her first full sentence! Pay attention to when the video gets to about two minutes and you will hear her as clear as day repeat the very thing we have been telling her for over a week now.

Amazing that she knows all that she does and STILL can't find it in herself to learn to follow directions! Baby steps, baby steps, I guess.
