So Two

Elliot is 18 months but so reminds me of a 2 year old--for better and for worse! He has great verbal skills and is talking much more and clearer than Delaney did at his age (not that it's a contest and NOT that it makes a difference)---but it's a definite strength of his at this point. And he certainly shouts--NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO and MMMIIIINNNEEE--like a two year old!

Elliot also totally has the independent attitude of a 2 year old. He can be shy around others but at home, he wants to do everything for himself and by himself. He's a fairly content little guy and is pretty cooperative but so independent and strong willed---how was I lucky enough to have two such stubborn and strong willed babies???--Not particularly easy to parent but good qualities to have.

When Elliot was a baby I worried that he would be trampled by Delaney-but that hasn't turned out to be the case, he doesn't back down from Delaney one bit and often is the instigator of their little battles.
