19 Months!

Lexi is 19 months!

She is around 20 pounds and has grown 2 inches since our last doctor visit!  She is now 29 1/2 inches.  

We are still currently on a 2 nap/day schedule.  Her first is usually around 10:30-11 and 2nd is usually around 3:30-4.  We will probably drop to one soon.  

Things She's Loving/Little Extras:

-Hide and Seek

-"Writing" with a pen and paper.  She will lay down on her belly with a pen (usually not clicked to write or with the ink taken out) and pretend to write on her paper and talk to herself.  She will also walk around with it and babble like she's making a list or reading what she wrote.  I guess she's seen us- probably me- do this.  I'm a list-maker and like to think out loud a lot.  

-On the same note as writing- she likes to lay down to do a lot of things on her belly.  Reading (eating?!)

-Mimicking us A LOT.  She tries to repeat EVERYTHING we say.

-Being a helper!  She loves to be given a "task" to complete.  Putting something away, helping mama wipe things down, "folding" clothes, helping carry laundry

-Popcorn. (Or: Pa-caaa) She loves it when Marshall makes plain popcorn with sea salt and peanut oil.  Delicious.  I would say it's probably her favorite snack.  Well that and Ella's Bars.  

-Animal sounds

-Pushing buttons/beeping (she loves to help put the laundry in the machines and push the buttons to make it start)

-Watching video and seeing pictures of herself.  She presses the button on our iphones to see the background and says either "baby" or "Lexi" (Lay-ay is more the way it sounds)

-Follow us to the bathroom

-She likes to step up/down on things and say "Up" then "Dowwwnnn"

-On the changing table she likes to hold her Spray (rayyy) Bottom Wash (Honest Company-check it out!) Favorite words: "Hello", "Hi", "Bye", "All Done", "See ya", "Love you", "Bath", "Chicken", "Yogurt", "Please", "One More or One at a time"

-Climbing in and out of her stroller 

Firsts: 

-Spending the night at Grandma then Papa&Nana's house without us.  We went to visit Katie and Patrick and meet sweet baby Hollis in VA and dropped Lexi with the grandparents.  She had a BLAST and still asks if we are going to see them when we get in the car.
