Bryleigh is almost 19 months now and since she will not be going to her check up until she is 19 months (I'm taking her the same time I take Christian for his 4 year check up) I wanted to update you on what she is doing now.
Talking: This is your biggest accomplishment these days! You are learning so many new words. The words that come to mind for me right now that you are saying are: Want more, happy, un-uh for no, kitty, baby, and the most recent as of this past weekend, please, bubbles, puppy, and the funniest, "meow." I have been trying for the past couple of days to get his on video but you haven't let me yet! It is the cutest! So now we are working on all of your animal sounds! You talk lots of gibberish but it usually sounds like you are trying to tell us something. You also wave and say "bye" when leaving. The other day, you walked up almost a whole block waving to Grandma as she was driving away. I"m sure you will continue learning new words daily from here on out!
Moving: You are long past learning to walk and now run everywhere! You know just how to be sneaky and do something that you are not supposed to and then run from mom or dad when we come to get you! You are getting better at sitting in your stroller for walks now. As long as you have a buckle to clip/unclip, you are a happy girl. But you will definitely let us know when it it our turn to unclip the buckle for you! You are still our little dare devil. You will climb on anything and everything. And if you fall, you rarely ever cry. You will get right back up and try it again! I'm not sure if mommy and daddy don't baby you as much or if you have been "beat" up enough by your brother to be able to handle it. If you get an "owie" you rub it for a second and then you are fine.
Eating: I'm not sure what to say about your eating. It is definitely random. Most days you will barely eat anything and just pick at your food and then there are times that we will go to a buffet and you will eat everything and anything and finally after everyone is done eating and we are ready to leave, we will have to stop you from eating. We just never know with you. You used to be such a good little eater but now you are picky. You love fruit and any type of crackers but you rarely will touch your vegetables, meats, or cheeses. Oatmeal still continues to be your favorite breakfast food and you eat it every morning. Not to mention, we have found that this is the only way we can mix in your allergy medication without you noticing. (Just for the record, the taste is horrible and I would spit it out also.)We're hoping that you start to try and like more foods soon.
Sleeping: You go to bed at 8pm every night and wake up around 8am. You only take 1 nap now. You lay down for your nap around 11:30 and sleep till about 2:30. Some days, if you are really cranky, we lay you down for a mid morning nap and then a later afternoon nap and you seem to do well with this on those days you are really tired. You have to have your nuk for naps/bedtime but we are trying to get into a routine that you leave your nuk in your crib after waking up and most times you throw a temper tantrum when we do this but the other day, you actually put your blankie and nuk in the crib without mommy or daddy even asking you. I guess routine is starting to pay off :)
Growing: We have your 18 month check up and shots :( on July 11 so I will know for sure how much you have grown in the past 3 months. But the last time we took you in for your constant runny nose, which turns out is seasonal allergies, you were around 18 lb. You are wearing 12 months clothes but you are starting to fit into your 18 month clothes. I have so many cute summer dresses for you in 18 month sizes that I put you in them even if they are too big :) You wear a size 4 shoe. You are still in size 3 diapers. Mommy still puts you in hair bows and I think you are getting used to them. Although, occasionally you get feisty and throw the headbands at me.
Personality: Bryan and I already know that you are going to give us a run for our money in your teenage years. You are the most stubborn, sassy, strong willed child that I have ever met. If you don't get your way NOW, then everyone around is going to hear about it. And the looks...if looks could kill, we would be dead everyday. You scrunch your eye brows and look at us when you are not happy, with that "really?" look. You have rolled your eyes at us already and this scares me to death. You have to do everything yourself which as of lately is putting on your hairbows (you do a pretty good job) and putting your clothes/shoes on. But in that same note, you are so sweet. You love to cuddle right after you wake up and will just lay on our shoulders and pat our back. Its the cutest. And you give everyone hugs/kisses before bed. We just love you to death! You are definitely our little diva child!
