Lila @ almost 19 months old

Lila is almost 19 months old now. I've lost track of everything she's doing now since I packed the calendar I was keeping track of for milestones.

At 19 months she's saying about 12-15 words including: mama, daddy, bubba, brother, baby, papa, car, Lila (I think by accident) and a few other words I can't remember. She's into everything. She's much more active than Ethan was at this age. She can walk up the stairs holding onto the wall with one hand. Something Ethan didn't do until he was 2. She's knows how and when to climb down from the couch or our bed. I'm still not completely comfortable with her being on our bed by herself since it's high but she's getting there.

At Lila's 18 month checkup she was almost 27 lbs and 34 inches long!!! Ethan is 39 inches so this came as a surprise to me. She's always been very long for her age. I believe she's in the 96th percentile or somewhere close to that for height. She's also in the 90's for head circumference and weight. My big girl!

Lila seems to still be fairly easy. Although, she can get loud (both of my kids are loud) and whiny at times. She seems to be picking up some bad habits from her brother. When she's mad she will throw her baby on the ground. It drives her crazy that she's thrown her baby down though so she immediately picks her up and puts her back into the baby's highchair.

She has quite the face when she's upset. I need to capture a photo of it. She's very dramatic. She loves to pretend she's on the phone and walk around like I do talking away as she walks.

Recently, she went swimming for the 2nd time. The first being last summer when she was 6 months old. This year she didn't seem to like the water but gradually got used to it and we're hoping the next time she's in the pool she will like it.

Sorry for the lack of photos on the blog. We've been having problems with our shared drive and I don't always have access. I'll post photos as soon as it's fixed.
