19 months old

She was 19 months old Friday and I am certain she gets more precious everyday. (Except when she gets really mad and slaps at whatever is in her path.)

Weight: 20.8lbs

Height: 30 1/2 inches

Size 3 diapers. Size 3-4 shoes and mostly 12 month clothes.

Sleeps like a little angel. And snores like a grown man. One morning Adam went to get her after she woke up and he said as soon as he turned the corner she pointed to the floor and said "paci." She keeps close tabs on her pacis. Anytime we ask her to throw something away she happily runs to the garbage. Except the paci. We will say "throw your paci in the trash" and she always says "nooooooo."

Since we cut back on milk she seems to be eating more. She particularly likes to have a strawberry milkshake most nights with her daddy. And at any given moment she runs to the freezer and calls for a "pop pop" (popcicle). She also likes cantelop and honeydew melon.

She loves to play with seat belt latches.

Can climb up on anything. Including bar height stools which is exactly what she did one day last week while I had my back turned slaving over the stove.  

Helps clean up her messes

She loves "Sixie" and "Au-ie" (the dogs) and calls for them every morning.  

Will only leave a bow and/or rubberband in her hair for a few minutes

Her newest word is "be-cut" (biscuit). And by buscuit she means cresent rolls. She started telling us "wuve wou" (love you) and it is so sweet! She can pretty much say whatever we tell her to say plus a lot of things we don't understand.

Most mornings she points to the potty and says "poop". She likes to sit on the potty and get toilet paper, pretend to wipe, and throw the paper in the toilet. I don't know the first thing about potty training. I don't even know at what point we should begin working on that, but I have a feeling she might be ready by summer? Is that an ambitious goal? She will be roughly 20-21 months by then. I really need to do some research. I'll get right on that as soon as we figure out how to lose the paci.   

Adam's Aunt Janet sent me this picture from Sunrise Service and I laughed so hard. It looks bad but I don't think she even cried. I don't want to point any fingers but her daddy let her slip right past him at high speeds which resulted in this face...

In the afternoons she calls us into her play room and pats the pillows that are in the floor which means we are supposed to sit down and play. Then she will feed us with her spoons or make us drink from her play cups. She even got MeeMaw in there one afternoon. (Please ignore the mess. I have decided to let the playroom become what it will until somebody falls. Then I run in there clean it up and give her a speech about picking up her toys.)

Yesterday she got really quiet and when we found her she had almost destroyed a whole roll of toilet paper. Adam called her by her first and middle name which caused her to make this face and back up against the door.

She LOVES big trucks. Adam has taught her to call them "big big" because that's what he and Uncle G called them when they were little. Saturday afternoon we ate at Mellow Mushroom and all the big trucks on the interstate got her so excited. When I get my phone out and hold it up and says, "cheeeessseee" which is what she is saying here. She must not have gotten my previous memo about not talking during pictures:)
