Robin at 17 Months

Robin at 17 Months

At 17 Months Robin is always zipping around the house getting into things and following her sister. She loves baby dolls (“baby” is one of her favorite words) and bicycles/scooters as well as putting clothes, socks and shoes on repeatedly. She calls Lilly ‘Ly Ly’ and REALLY wants to play with Lilly at Sunflower. Dropping her off and picking her up during the week is almost comical as Robin runs around like crazy checking everything out. At this point it is impossible to ‘contain’ her in a carrier, etc. so the teachers are always helping me out and chasing after Robin while I get Lilly settled and then I have to take her away kicking and screaming. Also, Robin’s ‘shy look’ is quite the topic of conversation among people who first meet her.

The past week or so R has experienced some significant separation anxiety and sleep regression – she has a hard time settling down at night and wakes up more frequently. Twice this past week she was up for 2+ hours in the middle of the night and it was extremely difficult to get her to go back to sleep. Lilly went through the same thing around this age, not a fun phase!

We love you, Robin!
