"Momma! Babba" part II, and some other firsts

I have officially been promoted from being called "dhoodhoo" to "momma"! This happened maybe a week ago. Yes, Hana has bestowed us with names! About two days ago she also started saying "baba" as well. It only took Noah until he was about 19 - 20 months. Unsure if it's because she's the second child or because she's a girl, that she has caught on fairly quickly.

She's generally saying words a lot earlier than her brother. Here is her list:

Neo! = Bangla for "take it"
Appo = apple (one of Noah's first words too, lol)
No
Momma
Baba
Dhadha
Nanna = Noah
Nana
"Pleee" = she occasionally uses that word for water because one time Noah said "Pleaseeee" when asking for it and that has stuck, lol
(I know there are more but I can't seem to remember right now)

She's also very expressive. She will show you what she wants. She pointed to the fridge yesterday and will point to food until you put it in her mouth. And boy is she LOUD and fiercely independent, mashallah. I like to call her my little diva! As a newborn, she had tears coming out before she even left the hospital (and that's when I KNEW this girl was something' else)! She loves to feed herself but it is not always practical (like when we were at the airport 2 days ago) and will throw tantrums until she gets what she wants. Her tantrums are hilarious but leave me worried. She will kick and scream and throw things that her in her way, when she's having a meltdown. Noah definitely did not throw this many tantrums at such a young age, lol. I don't know where she inherited her anger from. I generally ignore her and she does get over it but hard to ignore when in a public sphere, where I'm always feeling like hawk eyes are on me, lol.

She's finally starting to walk a lot more consistently, also within the last 2 weeks. And she mostly dropped her two naps and has consolidated it into one semi long nap (depends on the day). Climbing stairs is her favorite! She hates whole milk on its own, in a bottle but loves eating cereal and milk.

Every day is different and every day is a blessing with these two in my life.
Alhamdulillah.

I'll probably do a more detailed update on Noah soon. Can't believe my baby boy is almost 3!
