- They understand much of what you say to them, can say "please"
- will help out around the house willingly if you ask (and sometimes just to copy what you are doing).
- can communicate their basic needs
- hilarious misunderstandings as you try to understand what they are saying - at times these are long babble sentences said with inflections, accompanied by a furrowed brow, pointing and a question mark at the end of it, to which you can only answer "uh huh?"
- big koala round-the-neck snuggles
- stumbly but enthusiastic running in the park
- the challenge of working out their logic
- love being chased around and giggles maniacally
- have a favourite bed time song (currently Morningtown Ride) and yawn and rub their eyes as you get part way through
- obsessions with planes, trains, cars and buses
- they start to make friends, and mention them at home when they see something that reminds them
- loves cheesy classics such as: La Cucaracha, Popcorn, the Chipmunks, Baby Elephant Walk, and Puff the Magic Dragon, and dances like a lunatic!!
- they call out "Mama!" when you've been in the other room for a while, when they're ready to get up in the morning, or sometimes when they're just happy!
