Chesney 19 Months

We have more fun with you every month (which makes me wonder what kind of fun you have in store for us this month!)

 

Here is what you are up to at 19 Months:

• Weight: 26 lbs
• Length: 33 inches
• Clothes: You are wearing 12-18 months clothes and a few 18-24 month (especially pants because your 12-18 month ones are getting too short)
• Shoes: You wear a size 6 shoe. 
• Diapers: You wear training underwear during the day and a size 4 diaper at night.  You wear a cloth diaper at nap time and it is usually dry.
• Food: You are eating a better variety of foods but meat is still tricky.  You do like tacos and lunch meat though.  You have a new love for ketchup which you think is a food itself.  You will use your fingers, a spoon, or anything you are eating to dip in ketchup and lick the ketchup off.
• Development: This month you have been potty training.  You are doing so well and rarely have accidents.  We travel with your potty in the car now, just in case you need to potty.  You get a treat when you go potty and know to say treat after you go to be sure we don't forget.  You also got a doll house this month and love to play with it.  You will talk to the dolls and pretend they are talking to each other.  You love to have them go potty.  You like to take a shower and will stand in there by yourself, playing with the bottles and your toys.
• Words: You are a little chatter bug.  You constantly talk and know how to communicate what you want.  You usually talk in sentences.  You have an incredible memory and can usually remember a word or name for something after you are told once.  Mommy always says "Thank you very much" to people and you know tell people "Thank you much".  And a few days ago, you were riding in the cart and we walked by some people and you said "Excuse me please".  (People turn into a puddle of mush and move when a little lady says something that cute!)  You love to sing and in the car, you listen to your CD.  Your favorite songs are "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", "Monkeys Jumping on the Bed", "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" and "Wheels on the Bus". 
• Sleep: You still go to bed at about 7:30 every night and wake up about 7:00 am.  We read a few books before bed and then you talk in bed for a little bit before falling asleep.  You take one 1.5 hour nap every day.
• Teeth: None this month. 
• What I love about you: Daddy and I love it when you pull on our hand to go play with you.  We love that you want to snuggle in our bed every morning and at night.  We love how many hugs and kisses we get and that you have learned to say "love you".

We love you little angel!  Thank you for making every day so amazing!
