19 months

Happy 19 months Lily!

• She talks up a storm with new words/phrases everyday. It amazes me how she just talks and talks and we can understand what she is saying!
• She is a climber - recently we found her stuck at the top of Levi's crib, she was almost in, her leg just got stuck! Also, we found her sitting on the tray of the high chair while Levi was in it playing. We have to get our bookshelves and corner cabinet attached to the wall ASAP!
• She weighs about 21lbs and is wearing mostly 18 month clothes, but still some 12 month stuff. She's gotten taller recently and 18 month dresses are really short on her, but 24 month/2T dresses are way too big in the shoulders/chest. So for now, she runs around in mini-skirts/dresses with ruffle bloomers underneath. :)
• She's doing great learning her letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. 

• She sleeps from about 7:30pm to 8am and takes 1 or 2 naps each day. 
• She is successfully potty trained (of her own choosing), although we still put a diaper on her at night. Sometimes she wakes up dry and sometimes she wakes up wet. 
• She still loves reading, playing with Levi, cooking with Mama, helping Daddy, playing outside, going to the park, and visiting family. 
• She eats great! Rarely is there anything she won't eat. Her new favorite thing is dark chocolate - um, yes, only because that's her mama's favorite thing!
• One sweet thing I don't want to forget: everytime she hears a siren from an emergency vehicle she folds her hands and wants to pray. It's the sweetest thing! We live nearby a hospital, so we stop to pray many times each day. 

We thank the Lord everyday for this little girl!
