19 Months

Norah has just turned 19 months old! Where has the time gone? We don't have a doctor's appointment this month, so I have no new statistics to add, but it's obvious she has gotten taller since last month due to her clothes fitting differently.

Her physical changes are not the only ones to have taken place this month. Her motor skills, both fine and gross continue to improve and her mental development seems to progress at lightening speed.

Norah is now referring to her brother as Justin (although her pronunciation of it sounds more like Jessie). She used to just refer to him as baby.

She still has to have at least one, but preferably two blankets with her when we go to take her out of her crib after nap time, and still considers the day a success ONLY if she has watched multiple episodes of Zoboomafoo.

She has cut all her teeth (this really happened last month but we thought we would mention it here). So she is officially done with teething....oh happy day!

We went on a walk and she not only held my hand, but held onto the stroller and walked almost the entire time! She was very well behaved. I would ask her to point out trees, which she would do. I would then tell her good job, and ask her to give me five. As a result of this she will say "five" when she wants to give you "five" and grab your hand to encourage you to "give" her five.
