Maggie is doing a lot of that - though, when I tell her to come here, I think she believes it's meant to direct her to run as fast as can be in the other direction...

She's up to using some 3 word sentences too!

Juliana is doing all of that except perhaps the separation anxiety lessening. She's never really had separation anxiety but right now she's going through a clingy phase, which I think it due to teething.

We're still on 2-word sentences. In fact, at the moment the only 2-word sentences I can think of start with "more". "More da da," etc. She tries to say 3-syllable words but they don't come out right (example - battery is "ba ba bee").

Leah is doing a lot of that stuff. Not so much the verbal things though. She says some words regularly, but no where near stringing things together. She's super physical and strong.

London is also doing alot of those, except showing signs of PT, climbing out of crib and high chair and the separation anxiety lessening. It seems like she cries more than ever!
