Re: Anyone elses 18 month old.......
O man yes, ds is only 16 months and he's a little TORNADO. I've decided it's cause there's too much "stuff" accessible and I'm working to put some of the toys and gadgets out of reach now! But even the non-toy stuff I've had to duct tape, block off, and otherwise camoflague or else there are books, dvds, and SHITE everywhere!!!!

I have had to tape the card into the cablebox b/c she pulls it out all the time, and I had to tape batteries into one of our remotes b/c she will smack the remote on the floor then try and put the batteries in her mouth so now I have to hide the remotes and phones

I am scared Eva is going to break my flatscreen tv , since she likes to throw her bottle at it or hit it with a blunt object

DS has been like that for a while! It's as if he follows me around the house dropping and breaking things just as I clean things up!

No but my 2.5 and 4 yr old do!!! Trying to get them to put something away is a neverending battle!! Thankfully they are getting better but I still pretty much follow them around cleaning up!

Kaydyn is almost 2 and we gate her into the LR because if she is left to wander the house she destroys EVERYTHING. Between her and our puppy our house is in shambles when they are free.

Re: Anyone elses 18 month old.......
Start introducing her to a REALLY fun activity--cleaning up. DS could do it by that age, especially if you gave him a bin and made it seem like a game of some sort. He would run around picking everything up, very proud of himself, and I'd make a fuss over what a great job he was doing. I think I still cleaned up more than he did, but it helped.
Now he's 2, and I've started insisting that he put something away when he's finished with it before pulling out the next thing (upstairs anyway, in his basement playroom he can go wild). At first he didn't like it, but now he's used to it and knows he needs to do that if he wants something else. Same thing when we go out and he starts pulling stuff off the shelves in a store--he can take things down and look, but he has to put each one back before he takes the next. It took awhile for this to sink in though.
