Millie is really really advancing as a 19 month old. Her hair is starting to curl which I love! Here are 19 things about Millie's 19th month. Followed by pictures. 1. She is repeating everything you say which is fun (sometimes).
2. She repeats "up" and "down" but sometimes gets them mixed up which is funny.
3. She reads books to herself. We hear her doing that in the mornings.
4. She feeds herself with spoon and fork. And is still eating anything we put in front of her!
5. She brushes her teeth with little to no help
6. She washes her hands without help
7. She loves putting on her clothes. She has pants down pretty well and is just starting to get into putting her shirt on. But that's when she isn't using her shirt as pants!
8. She can name several part of her body (elbow, knee, thigh, toes, foot, leg, tongue, chin, cheeks, neck, shoulders, hair, and then the ear, nose, mouth, etc.
9. She can string words together to make phrases or puts together pairs of words
10. Very into finding out where everyone is. Usually her first question of the day is "Where's Siler?" followed by "Where's Daddy?" or "Where's Mommy"?
11. We think we have figured out one of her sayings. She is constantly yelling what sounds like "DEE-tah, DEE-tah". We are pretty sure she is saying "Clean up, Clean up". Which for the most part makes sense.
12. Still sitting in her big girl chair at the table and seems to enjoy that.
13. Still sleeping in her big girl bed and that seems to be going well. No crying at night or in the mornings. Mat installed video monitors so we can see what she is up to in the mornings. Usually she reads to herself in her bed or gets down and plays with her toys.
14. She is still a dancing machine. Really enjoys music and any reason to dance.
15. She plays well with others and has lots of friends at school. She loves to say "bye bye" to everyone. We are practicing saying "bye bye Bailey" or "bye bye Rita" And if you ask her how her day went, she says "gooooood".
16. They are starting to change her diaper in the bathroom now at school in preparation for potty training. I can't wait to get this started!
17. She loves running and being chased. Her deep belly laugh is really infections!
18. She enjoys putting on lotion after bathtime.
19. Sometimes it's quite a lengthy process to pick her up from daycare. She hates to put on her coat but even more, she doesn't want to leave school!! She really enjoys it there!! It's certainly a good feeling!
