19 Months Old!

19 months old and a full blow toddler BOY. Into everything, HIGH energy, battles with mommy, soaking everything in, trying to be independent, FUNNY little guy. This stage is both exhausting and adoring. I coudln't imagine what my life would be like without my ginger haired little boy though! I love him to the moon and back, always and forever. :o)

• You weigh 26 lbs
• You've just moved into 24 month clothes as the 18 month shirts are getting a little short on you
• You wear size 6/7 shoes. BIG feeet!
• You have four top teeth and four bottom and just had a molar in the back pop through this week.
• You're toddler tantrums have been fun lately. (not!)
• You have been going through another "mommy" phase where you need me ALL the time, but I think we might be coming out of that a little. (You made it through nursery at church without crying last week~ that's a start!)
• When you're not trying to get what "you want" and telling the whole world about it you are as sweet as can be
• You have an amazing amount of energy and love to laugh and run around
• You have an obsession with all things tools and love to fix things
• You also have an obsession with cars and are constantly wanting to drive 
• You're favorite movie (which we watch daily) is Barnyard
• You also like Mator's Tales, Bo on the Go, and Madagascar
• You love to read books
• Binky's and Blankey's are still your favorite comfort items
• You drink milk 3 times a day... yes I still let you in a bottle. Who cares! :o)
• You LOVE to brush your teeth
• You have to help me do everything lately- cook, clean, do laundry. Such a big helper.
• Dancing is a favorite activity.
• You take 1-2 naps a day depending on when you wake up in the morning. If its 8:00 or later you can make it until 1:30 without a nap and then will sleep for about 2 hours. If you wake up before 8, then you'll take an hour or an hour and a half nap at 10:30, then another hour and a half to two hour nap at 2:30. Mommy LOVES this.
• Your bedtime is still at 8:30 pm.
• You're still a great eater. You love everything.
• Candy is an obsession. You wake up asking for it. Ha!
• You're babbling and talking constantly now! Waiting for the words and little sentences to start forming soon.
• So far you can say these distinguishable words: mama, dada, papa, gaga (grandma), Gah (Duke), caca (candy), baba (bottle), vroom, boom, ball (ball-ball), Nala, Mow-mow (mower), Cracker, Nana (banana), Tractor, bye bye, hot-- i feel like I'm forgetting some though. 
• You make a ton of animal noises
• You know most of your body parts and can point to them when asked
• You make a fort daily with all the blankets and pillows you can find
• You still try sometimes to use the potty, but we arent really pushing that issue too much yet
