Not terrible yet, but not always fun. She's definitely more stubborn these days.

@mrsjazz: the worse is when it is a safety thing. We are the second floor of the apartment, and the drop is actually three stories because we're on the side with the underground garage. We have two large windows in the living room that he can climb up onto the windowsill... I'm sure with enough pressure it's possible to pop out that window, break the glass etc... So we don't let him stand in the window but he tries to do it allllll the time. It started out innocent, he wants to see the garbage truck or school buses - but now he knows he's not supposed to and does it anyway. I have to be vigilant if I want the window open because a screen isn't held in tightly enough.

@lavender: I was about to say that terrible twos started at around 18 months also.

But for us LO just has meltdowns. I actually think they are kind of cute because before he throws himself on the ground he looks to make sure it's carpet. Haha. DH says I need to take them more seriously because we don't want to "reward" that type of behavior ... it's true... I'm bad.

He hasn't found words yet but he does say "no" a lot but he doesn't quite know how to use it well. Do you want this? "no" Do you not want this? "no".

haha I have been sitting here the last few days wondering if this is the appearance of the terrible twos. I am still holding out hope that it's a "phase". Every single diaper change is a epic tantrum like none we have ever seen. Just this morning in the span of 3 hours she had 3 epic tantrums. Saying "no" to her equals a epic tantrum. Sometimes I just have to walk away and let her tantrum away!
She wants to walk everywhere and will go "plank" in the car seats when she hasn't done that in eons. Or going limp noodle when we have to leave somewhere. Oy. It's fun.

But on the flip side when she is not tantrum-ing she is so super sweet and fun!
