Agatha's a performer...of the circus kind...a climber really. We tell her "no...no...no" as we race to stop her, and she smiles and repeats back to us "no...no...no," as she continues to climb. And whether its just a book, a remote control, her drawing table, toy chest, rocking chair, the bed, the bathtub, her bureau....ugh....she always finishes off a climb the same way; She throws her arms up and shouts "Ta...Daaaa!"
She's also taken to shouting not "No" when she doesn't like what's going on, but "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" This of course gets a lot more attention from strangers in the grocery store, which she loves...I don't.
She's pretty much mastered the use of single words. She can repeat just about any word you say to her (within reason). She says a couple of two word phrases, like "oh no." "Daddy work," "thank you," and "get it." If a word has an "s" in it, however, the letter will be replaced by another...i.e. Maimy for Maisy...Badi for Sadi, Fnow for snow...you get the picture. She also has figured out how to raise the tone of her voice to turn any word into a question. This she loves most.
She's changing so fast now. At just about 17 months, she's quickly losing all signs of babyhood and mastering the toddler attitude. Some days we miss that little baby--her chubby body and lack of mobility...ahhh...no crayons on the wall, no spaghetti on the cat....But then Ags starts singing to herself, climbs on top of her little people doll house, and shouts "ta...daaa!" and we can't wait to see what she'll come out with next.
