The best part about Eliza turning 1.5 years is that she gets to go to Nursery. As Tammy is in the primary presidency, it was always Alvin's job to take care of her, so he is very excited to finally be able to sleep in peace.
It's hard not to compare her to our other children at the same age, and she's behind the first two in her language. Miriam was a jabber box by 18 months; Henry consistently used a dozen words and a handful of useful signs; Eliza can't say anything.
OK. Technically, she CAN say about 8 words (a few are evidenced in this video). But she doesn't use any of them consistently and without a lot of coaxing, and they aren't words that help us know what she wants.
We are going to watch this video on a loop and try to pretend she really talks, and just think about how cute she is.
And as the song (from the Barbie videos) says, we think she's on her way to something better.

She's such a cutie! Grant has a speech therapist come once a week to our home because he's a little delayed in speech. I know, it's hard not to compare!
That is sooooo adorable Tammy.
