21 Months- 9/30/13

Weight/Length- Thanks to a last minute trip to the doctors on Friday we actually know this- weight = 30.6 lbs and height = 33.5"

Eating- Still picky and not eating as much during meals. You seem to prefer to snack throughout the day which I'm trying to keep to a minimum. Like most toddler, one day you will love something and the next day you will hate it. But you still love fruits, you will always eat fruit.

 

Sleep- You sleep great through the night but still waking up between 6-6:15am most days.

Clothes- Still 18 and 24 months.

Diapers- Size 5 both daytime and overnight.

Appearance- Hair is still very blond and we got it cut again. Your hair is very thick and grows quickly. Eyes are still a green/grey combo. Your eyes always look brown from a distance and in pictures, I can never seem to get a good shot of your eye color in pictures.

Personality- You are becoming a lot more outgoing especially in public, you always say hi to people when we are out. You are still constantly running around and playing and getting into mischief and the tantrums have been ramping up when you don't get your way. You also seem to prefer routine and consistency like your mother and get upset if we don't do something we always do. You are becoming much more independent, wanting to do everything yourself and help us do things.
