I can't even believe it!

Eli is getting so big. His language is flourishing and he is acquiring knowledge at lightning speed. He is 21 months old and he uses 2 word sentences on a regular basis. He will even use 3 word sentences at times. He can say so many words (corn, carrot, elephant, pig, barn, tractor, teddy bear, pickle, Uncle Ben, Uncle Josh, thank you, please, welcome, hi, hello, love you, and so many others that escape me right now). He even knows and can recognize most colors (blue, black, brown, green, yellow, orange, pink, and white). He is also a fiery little guy and gets angry when we aren't doing what he wants. He uses his "fists of rage" to let us know he is not happy. No he doesn't hit us, instead he clenches his fists tight, holds his arms in the air and yells very loudly. It is horrible to hear. Luckily, he is easy to get out of his angry mode. You just have to get him to open his little fists and it is all over.

Hi Will and Jenn. I just had to post that Owen is doing the exact same things: 2-3 word sentences, knows his colors, and even the screaming! I just laughed when I read your post because I'm glad that Owen isn't the only who gets really mad. All the other times he is the happiest boy.
