Here are a few recent pictures of my baby girl at 18 months. She has FINALLY started saying more than Mama, Dada, and Bye bye. In the past few weeks she has been saying cheese, car, poop, and bath. It's so fun hearing her say new words! We've also been experiencing the wonderful world of tantrums lately. Not so fun for mom and dad, but I found this awesome parenting book called "
Raising Godly Tomatoes" that has been extremely helpful as far as practical, yet Biblical advice on how to discipline and train children of all ages-- even older babies and toddlers. We are making a little progress as we've started implementing some of those principles.
Here are few fun stats about Greenlee at 18 months:
-- size 5 diaper
-- size 6 shoe
-- 24 mos clothes
-- naps are crazy. her medicine recently just got changed and ever since then her naps are all over the board. she goes down at 12:30, but never sleeps the same amount of time. Some days it's an hour, other days it's 3 hours
-- bedtime is 8 or 8:30pm, she wakes up anywhere from 7:30-8:30am
-- last month she was 27 lbs and 34 inches tall...18 month check up is in a few weeks, so I'll post those stats then
-- eating is improving but still not great. she refuses to touch most fruits and vegetables, but we keep trying! mainly her diet consists of PBJ, cheese and turkey tortillas, grilled cheese, cheese, yogurt, crackers, bread, cereal, and chicken nuggets. We are working hard to improve/expand her diet but as most people know you can't force a toddler to eat certain foods!
-- she LOVES the outdoors. I try to take her walking most days out of the week or we go somewhere she can play outside.
-- she also LOVES books. she'll have us read every book in her book stack about 10 billion times. haha. we are glad she enjoys reading so much!
