Clothes: Mostly 18 month clothes although you are in need of some more summer clothes. I get to go shopping for you in a few weeks so I'll have to eye up the clothes and guess. I'm sure I'll need to make a few 24 month purchases though.
Shoes: Size 4
Diapers: Size 4 diapers
Sleep: 12 hours! Woo hoo! 45 minutes to 2 hour nap each day right after lunch . If your nap is short it's usually because you've pooped. Mommy came in the other day after only 45 minutes and you said, "Mommy poopy, icky".
Teeth: 12! No new teeth this month.
Traveling: We traveled to Jamestown for Gaga's birthday! You loved playing with all of the new toys and snuggle time with Grandpa and Gaga. You slept well and were such a good girl traveling! We had so much fun being at Grandma's house:)
Talking: A few words off the top of our heads that we can remember you picking up this past month.....purple, pink, blue, geen for green, pee poop, icky, sticky, and eye. You will try to repeat almost any word we ask you to although it doesn't always come out quite right. You love to talk especially in the middle of books about what you see on the pictures.
Favorite Activity: playing outside, playing with your babies, sweeping the floor, playing in your big girl cars, and blocks.
Favorite Books: Any book will do. You don't seem to have just one favorite, although Danny and the Dinosaur has been quite popular lately. You especially love it when Daddy reads to you and you seek him out more than Mommy for a book to be read.
Favorite Foods: It changes....one day you are in love with peas and the next day you will not touch them. Meal times are hit and miss. Sometimes it's really frustrating to get you to eat something and other meals you gobble up everything we put in front of you. I crossed my fingers today at lunch and you ate peas, sweet potatoes, cheesy potatoes,, chicken, grapes, and strawberries.
Foods Dislike: I made you blueberry muffins today. You will NOT touch them. Daddy made you pancakes the other day and you would NOT touch them. You are so funny...who doesn't like these two foods;)
Favorite Songs:You are starting to sing along with songs. We play our ipods a lot on our ihome and you love to dance and sing.
Dislikes:We've solved the brushing teeth problem. You now love it! A little tutti fruity swallowable toothpaste does the trick. We let you brush all by yourself (suck the toothpaste off the brush) if you allow us to brush your teeth first. You dislike getting dressed at times. There are many days that you would love to run around in your diaper all day.
Favorite Word: baby, baby, baby....you want to be in your little baby brother's room, you want to sleep with your babies (which you do now), and whenever we see babies out and about you LOVE to point out all the babies you see.
Things we are learning: You are showing some strong signs of potty training readiness. It's shocked us, but we may give it a try in a few weeks when Mommy is done working. We will not push you, but if it works it works. Each time you pee or poop you let us know, grab your diaper, and say icky. Then you want to be changed right away. We practice sitting on the potty and sometimes you'll grab my hand and lead me to the bathroom where you'll pat the toilet and say Mommy (you want me to sit down) and then you lift the lid of your potty and sit down. We sit there for a few seconds, then wash our hands, and we leave. We will be so excited if you are one of the very few children that pick up on this so soon, but if you don't it's ok. We love how aware you are of it all though.
Svea, in the last week you have been so loving towards Mom and Dad. Today, when both of us were home at the same time, you wanted to lead us both everywhere around the house at the same time. You run to us to give us hugs, you bring us books for you to read and sometimes you just stop what you are doing to come and snuggle with us. We love how affectionate you are with us and we love you so very much! Happy 19th months!
