19 Months - 7/30/13

Weight/Length- Just about 29 pounds and 33 inches.

Eating- Same as before, still eating well, not a big fan of veggies. 

 

Sleep- Putting you to bed has become more difficult lately, instead of going right to sleep a lot of times you'll cry when I leave the room and need me to rub your back for a few minutes. We've also discovered if we veer from the normal bedtime routine you have a much harder time going to sleep.

Clothes- Still 18 and 24 months. 

 

Diapers- Size 5 both daytime and overnight.

Appearance- Still a blondie and you got your third haircut this month.

Personality- Still my sweet and rambunctious little boy. You are so curious and love to not only learn new things but show off what you've learned. We're amazed at how well you can follow directions and your memory is getting really good as well. You're definitely a little daredevil, always climbing and jumping. No fear. Also, you make us laugh constantly. Total comedian.
