19 Months

Our sweet girl turned 19 months today!  She is a pure joy and I just love that we are lucky enough to be our daughter.  At her most recent check-up Lil weighed in at 25 lbs 3 oz and was about 30 inches

Tonight we took the front off her crib and put on the toddler rail!  She was so excited!  With this new found freedom will come some limit testing but that's all part of exploration...remind me of this when I'm ready to lose my mind when she won't stay in her bed :)

Everyday I look at Lily and I can't believe how big she is getting!  Tonight we told her to "hop out" of her bed and she started saying "hop out" when she was getting out.  Every day she's saying more and more words and putting more and more words together.  She's a BIG fan of calling me MOM and has not probably saying "mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom...hi"

She loves to sing and dance and talk on the phone.  Elmo and Abby and Zoe (who she also calls Abby) are her BFF's.  Lil loves elephants and monkeys and LOVES her Kindermusik class.  She LOVES the "Shape Song" by SteveSongs-she has all the movements down pat.

We are working on potty training, but not pushing it.  She likes sitting on the potty and pointing to her Sesame Friends and reading books and magazines.  Speaking of reading-that girl has an insatiable need to read!  It makes my heart sing!  I love when she pulls out books out of her basket and brings them over and wants to crawl up in my lap.  My new favorite is when she pulls out the "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" book and says "boom boom" so I know what she has.

She is the sweetest little girl-always with a smile or a sweet voiced, h'llo.  She a snuggler, hugger, lover, and high-fiver.  She's silly, smart, funny, loving, happy, mischievous, and the best little girl I could have ever asked for!

I love you more and more Lily Girl! Thank you for making me to be a better person!

Love,

Mommy
