19 Months Old

By -
Guess who is 19 months old today?
Isla!
If you didn't guess that, you've never read our blog.... Yup, only 5 months until her 2nd birthday, it's crazy even to think about it but I already starting planning it my head.
What has Isla been up to lately:
She wears 18 month old clothes even if most of them are still big on her.
Size 5 shoes
She LOVES playing outside in the grass and isn't afraid to get dirty.
She has been eating really well with a fork and spoon - so well in fact that Oma has commented on what a good and clean eater she is and would be acceptable to bring her to a restaurant!
She can say her name.
She can finally climb onto our bed.
We are taking her to the dr. next week for a well visit so I will post "official" weight, height and head circumference after the appointment.
As for other milestones:
Most toddlers should be able to . . . Feed self with spoon and fork - done Run well - done Brush teeth with help - done String more words together to make phrases or puts together pairs of words - she's done this once
Some toddlers will probably be able to . . . Know when something is wrong - uhoh! Say 20 to 50 words - picking more vocab everyday Form recognizable sentences (two or three words) - work in progress Take off clothes - some, yes
Some toddlers could possibly be able to . . . May show signs of bladder control - I wish! Brush teeth and washes hands without help - done Draw better circles and straighter lines - not even close to a circle (where do they get this stuff?) Name several part of his or her body - she knows just about every part.
We are very pleased with her progress and she has impressed her grandparents too! She's in the phase of "parroting" so everything we do and say she has to try. It's especially cute to see her try to dust or wipe the furniture. If only she would wash and dry dishes?
It's been nice to see her meeting family. She was a bit shy when we first arrived but now Opa and Oma are getting hugs and kisses too. She would do the same to Tasha but I think I'll keep her away from the dog for a bit longer!
