Madeline-19 Months

Weight: You're 21 pounds and SHORT! We never really realized how short you actually were till we were back in the states this summer.  You are in the 2% for height!

Health: You are doing great this month! No illnesses to report.

Social: You are still our social butterfly.  You bless everyone with your smiles and are quick to make friends.  You are very chatty and always have a "story" to tell everyone you meet.

Diet: This month we officially weened.  We cut you back pretty durastically to just before nap and bed at the beginning of the month and then cut out the nap nurse.  One night you fell asleep without it at night and we just kept going with it (like your sister).  I have had to tell you no a few times and you get a bit upset, but a few cuddles later you are back to your normal self.  Otherwise you are eating everything we are and love it.  You will try anything and are very demanding that you have a bite if someone is eating something you think looks good.

Love that your sister taught you this

Clothes: You could probably still wear 12 months but I recently switched you over to your 18 month old items.  With you so small your clothes are really getting some wear!

Mama's Favorites: I love this silly surprise face you have been doing lately.  You do it when you hear a noise or anything that surprises you.  It's hilarious and you know it.

Crying: We're a bit into the tantrums that come around two.  If you are frustrated or angry you will storm away, throw something or go cry in a corner.  It's kind of laughable as we can see that you are truly frustrated.  I wonder if you picked up this little habit from your older sister...

Sleep: After a little struggle this month to readjust to your room/crib you are rocking this department.  You go down easily around one for an hour-2 hours daily.  You are also sleeping through the night from 8:30-8ish every day.  Such a blessing!!

This Month: We adjusted to life back here in Georgia after two months in the states.  We've been swimming at the community pool and have reached out to new folks in the neighborhood to meet new friends!

Baby Likes: You love your sister and will follow her anywhere! You love to be outside and most recently prefer to do so with bare feet and no clothes...like your sister.  You love legos and your dollies.  Buddy is your best friend (after your sister) and you love chasing him and keeping him on his toes.

Milestones: You are talking up a storm. You say: stuck, mama, dada, mara, no, up, down, here, sit, and will literally repeat anything we prompt you to say.

You are getting more confident in the water and will walk around in the baby pool without much assistance.

You are getting really good with taking apart legos and stacking them up.

Reading with sister

Best of Times: Watching you bloom into a toddler.

Worst of Times: The start of the tantrums.  You are one spirited little girl.

Sister Diaries: Mara still needs her alone play time but she is including you in on her play more and more.  She loves to have you "help" her pick up her toys hahaha. She misses you so much if you guys are apart and I can see you two being a duo to reckon with as time goes on!


Will say cheese now when I pull out my camera

I'm not above bribery to get the shot
