| 19 Months |
27. More times than I care to admit, you have gotten a hold of my laptop and removed numerous keys. I didn't have a B already because Genevieve ripped it off when she was a baby. Now, I don't have an H,and several other keys don't work properly (like the space bar and shift). It's a good thing I am getting a new laptop next month!
28. You have started playing with dolls from the dollhouse. You make the dog bark and the cat meow. I showed you how to make the people go down the slide, and you think this is great fun. You also enjoy pushing the people around in the car.
29. Sometimes you act like a little puppy. You crawl around on your hands and knees panting. You will even climb in my lap and let me pet you. We think this is hilarious.
30. Yesterday you started trying to tickle people, especially Genevieve. Tonight after you got down from the dinner table, you walked up to Genevieve who was still eating, and you opened and closed your hands at her while moving your tongue in and out of your mouth. We were all laughing, which only encouraged your cuteness.
31. You are nothing like your big sister.
32. I think your first eye tooth is starting to come in. You were so drooly and cranky today. You also have a cold, but I think it's your teeth posing the largest issue. (Photo evidence proved that your two bottom eye teeth are coming in.)
33. I have resorted to bribery. I'm not proud of that, but it helps me get your diapers changed and you into your car seat. Thank you YouTube videos and Annie's bunny fruit snacks! When I tell you it's time for a diaper change, you say "EIEI" because you want to watch a video on my phone, but you don't want to actually watch Old MacDonald had a Farm.
34. You like to read stories more now. Your favorite books are the David board books by David Shannon. You search the whole shelf for those books and flip through the pages over and over. On the page with the sucker covered in dirt, hair, paper, and a fly, you say "Yucky". When David is in the bath, you read both pages "Bath" and "Ah". If I try to read you a different story, you get angry.
35. One night, I was talking about how you could be antagonistic, and your daddy said, "That's a Lynnes trait." Bwahahaha!
36. You saw Sissy and I eating almond butter off of a spoon, so you decided you wanted to also. I had been trying to get you to try some because I was wondering if Almonds were an issue since you started getting rashes and a couple of hives after nursing when I had eaten almonds. After eating a small spoonful, your facial eczema flared, and you even had a couple of hives. An hour later, it was mostly cleared up.
37. Your hair appears to be somewhat blonde, but other times I think you look strawberry blonde or brunette. Your eyebrows look very strawberry blonde.
38. You notice the moon, point to it, and say "moon". When you were outside tonight, you were looking all over for it. We couldn't find it anywhere!
39. Last week, after nursing in the evening, your daddy said "What is wrong with her face? It's all red and splotchy." I figured he was just noticing your eczema that isn't quite healing. When I looked, I knew you were reacting to something I had eaten. I found a photo in my phone of a similar reaction, and I compared it to the food log from that day. I had eaten the exact same thing - a smoothie with coconut water, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, kale, and spinach. Spinach was the only thing you hadn't eaten before, so I did a little test. I put spinach on my sandwich the following day, and noted any reactions after nursing several hours later. You developed a bright red, splotchy rash all around your mouth and chin. Looks like you are allergic to spinach.
40. I keep catching you playing with Barbie, Ken, and Ever After High dolls. You mostly make them walk and kiss. You also want to take their clothes off.
41. One night after getting you back to sleep after your first wake up, you insisted on snuggling with your puppy and your sippy cup. You wrapped your arm around them both and started drifting off to sleep. You eventually took some sips of water and placed your water against the side of your crib.
42. You like to play baby dolls. You once spent a good 10 minutes wrapping a doll in a blanket over and over. You carry them around and say "Sh". You get SO mad when they fall out of the blanket.
43. You like playing with Mommy and Daddy's keys. You say "keys" and point to where Daddy puts his. You pretend to open things with them.
44. You fake cry and say "owie" while putting your hand on your head. Then you go to the freezer where we keep the ice packs, and you beg me to open the freezer. You also want bandages on your hand for your fake owies. You have also started fake crying in the car, most likely because you want out.
45. You love riding in the bike trailer, but the helmet makes this difficult. You are too short, so the seat pushes your helmet forward and makes your chin go to your chest. I decided to do without your helmet, and you actually fell asleep on our 2+ mile ride one day. Fortunately for me, you then didn't fall asleep in the car while picking up G from school. Unfortunately for me, you didn't nap the rest of the day. I guess a 10 minute bike trailer nap was all you needed!
46. You climbed out of your crib yesterday and again today. You swing your leg right over and lower yourself to the glider rocker. I pushed it out of the way, but apparently, it is still reachable enough. Toddler bed???
47. If Mommy goes to you when you wake at night, you want milk and will not take no for an answer without an hour long fight. If Daddy goes to you when you wake at night, you immediately lay down and let him rub your back. Really child? I'm happy to give you milk but not 4 times at night. Go the F to sleep!
48. Daddy and I think you will be a lot of trouble your whole life. You already have "selective hearing", and you run away from us, even if it's into the street. You do sneaky things and know to go hide so you can't be seen (like when you stole the pack of gum and started eating it).
49. I have found that you eat better if I let you walk around with your food or stand on a chair at the table. I remember Genevieve being similar at this age, but she was a much better eater and would sit and eat her dinner with us. You, on the other hand, throw your food on the floor and across the table. You throw your cup, and scream and cry to get down almost immediately. Maybe you'll be different once all of your teeth are in. One can only hope!
50. Your favorite song this week is the ABC song. You can sing some of the tune and kind of say some of the letters. You say something like "A, E, E, E..."
