This little rascal is quite the character. I meant to give an update at 18 months, but time slipped away. This is a fun age even though she is definitely discovering her independence. She’s as sassy as she is sweet.
19 Months as of April 14th, 2017
Weight:
26lbs (80th) and 34in (95th)
You have been in the 90 plus percentile for height every visit!
Clothes:
Wearing size 5 diapers. Size 5/6 shoes. Clothes are 18 and 24 months.
Sleep:
You take one nap a day usually about 2 hours long starting around 1pm. You are pretty easy to go down for your naps, but if I ever miss my window putting you down, you are happy to just totally skip your nap. We definitely don’t make a habit of that.
You started climbing out of your crib and a pack and play at 18 months old and I was pretty devastated. It was too early, but I couldn’t keep you in it. You would climb out head first. It started while we were in Vail on vacation in your pack and play and then continued when we got home in your crib. We started by putting your crib mattress on the floor in your room. That didn’t work out great. You used to be so easy to put down at night. We would read, rock and sing and then stick you right in your crib to fall asleep. With this new freedom, you were all of the place. We now have you in a toddler bed and you sleep great in it, but sometimes we still find you running around in your room after we have put you to bed. Thankfully you sleep through the night in it and that’s what matters most!
Feeding:
You are are a good eater. You will eat just about anything although I have found you to be a little more picky lately. I can’t figure out what you really want for breakfast lately. You don’t care for pancakes or waffles much at all. Grits seem to be a hit most of the time and also scrambled eggs.
You will eat chicken, macaroni, peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and all fruits.
We still have you on a bottle at morning and night. I was so paranoid and strict with Brody by making sure he was completely off a bottle at 18 months, but I just don’t care that much with you. You LOVE your bottle. And since we had to transition you to the toddler bed so early, I wasn’t ready to take the bottle away too. Hopefully we can gradually get rid of that.
Schedule:
630-7am Wake Up
8am Breakfast
10am Snack
12pm Lunch
1pm Nap
3/3:30pm Snack

Health:
You have been pretty healthy lately. I was pretty shocked that we made it through most of then winter (starting in January) without a ton of sickness. You have still been prone to ear infections and are scheduled for tubes in May.
Likes:
Playing with Brody
Seeing him walk through the door after work
Saying “Group Hug” and making all 4 of us hug together before Daddy leaves for work
You love to play with Magnatiles. You build a “triangle.”

Books – You love the touch and feel books from Jelly Cat. We also have this one old puppy book that you have become obsessed with and love to name the dogs on each page.
Playing outside and riding in Brody’s jeep or driving your little Minnie car.
You have started to become attached to your blankie and still only love the Wubbanub packs.
Baby Dolls- You love to wrap your dolls up in little blankets and pushing them in the stroller. I will sometimes look over and catch you giving your baby dolls kisses. It’s the sweetest.
The beach- I’m so happy that you are loving the sand! You love going into the water even if it’s freezing.

Winnie the Pooh obsessed!
Dislikes:
Mommy to leave- you cry hysterically when you have a babysitter and I’m leaving, but then you are fine one minute after I’m out the door. You are a serious Mama’s girl.
You still don’t like putting clothes on or having your diaper changed
You are hating milk out of a sippy cup and only want your milk if it’s warmed up. #diva
You get so sad and upset when we firmly tell you NO

Flying- you’re not a very good flyer. I think it bothers your ears. Hopefully after you get tubes, it will be better.
You loved the snow in Vail, but I think the altitude gets to you a bit.
Milestones:
You moved to a Toddler Bed
You have found a TV show that completely keeps your interest – Winnie the Pooh. You’re obsessed.

You sing the words to Moana – How Far I’ll Go. We listen to it in the car all the time.
“No one knows, How Far it goes…”
You love me to sing Twinkle Twinkle at bedtime. You can sing about the first half of it.
You are like a little parrot. Right around 18 months old, your vocabulary just exploded and you started saying everything we say. I love when you get a few words strung together and you definitely understand everything that we say to you.

You are pretty mischievous and laugh or smile when we get on to you for something you are not supposed to be doing.
I can already tell that you are going to be tough. You wrestle with Brody and already have about 100 battle wounds.
Like the photo above, you love to wrinkle your nose when you give a big smile and it cracks me up!
