BabyCenter 15-month update:
Where there's a will, there's a won't. And Naomi is discovering that will, big time. The generally agreeable nature she had as a 12-month-old has morphed overnight into something far more exhausting. Her rigid, contrarian behavior shows that she's beginning to understand a huge concept: She's a separate person from us. She'll eat when she wants to. What she wants to. And as slow or fast as she wants to. I've never seen a 15 month old snatch their hand away so vehemently when you're trying to walk with her (Never mind that I just feel six times in a row... I can do it myself!!!)... or lock her mouth down like it was Fort Knox when you approach with a bite of food that you know she likes... or stop, look down, and visibly calculate the odds of outrunning you when she hears you call her name with a certain tone of voice.
Will power. Also known as Reyes stubbornness. Once she grows up, she and her sister will likely be fast friends... and big trouble.
