19 Months

Doing an art project with daddy

What are you up to at 19 months? Well, just about everything! You continue to be a VERY busy girl who keeps mommy and daddy on their toes. You love running, climbing, and exploring everything. We are still working on you slowing down (you always have bruises covering your sweet body!), looking where you are going, and I think you hear "Be careful!" about 500 times a day! Despite all of the exploring though, you do have your quiet moments. You still love to read books both by yourself in the chair in your room and with mommy or daddy. You have also started to like to do crafts more and we paint, color or do stickers just about every afternoon. I've been getting a lot more spontaneous hugs and kisses lately and they just melt my heart! You've started saying "Love you" which is so precious! You've gotten 6 molars in the past 2 weeks and we had some sleepless nights for about a week. I feel so bad for you when you hold your cheeks and say "owie." Thankfully, they all must have broken through because you're back to your cheerful self and sleeping great. You have started to be interested in playing with your toys more and are starting to make up little play scenes with the toys. Your imagination is great and you will often be crawling on the floor pretending to be a dog or cat or putting something on your head to look like a hat. Every day we spend with you is a joy, Addison and we love your curiosity, your interest in "fixing" things (such as trying to plug my phone into the lamp plug, opening the front of the computer and pushing buttons, etc.), and your zest for life!
Happy 19 months!
