19 Months

Katelynn turned 19 months old on Tuesday. Upon last check almost a month ago, she weighed 21 lbs 3.3 oz and was 31.25 inches long, and we'll visit the doctor sometime in August for new numbers. Still a skinny little girl, but she's such a cutie! Katelynn's bottom left canine tooth came in this month, and the other canines will pop soon, I'm sure. Her language just continues to explode, and I'm sure she's got more than 75 words now. This month she started to say two word phrases such as "up please" or "bye-bye balloon" or "got water". She has learned to say my and mine, and she is working on other possessive words, like pointing to a water bottle and saying "mommy's". Some words that she's said for a while are also getting closer the correct pronunciation, like water isn't "wa-wa" any more, it's "wa-er". Language development is an amazing thing to watch.

Katelynn has been earning the reputation lately as being a daredevil. She is so active and confident. When we go to parks, she is not afraid to climb to the highest points and go down the biggest slides. She's always on the go, and loves to climb in or on anything. Hopefully we can keep Uncle JT from teaching her how to climb out of the crib any time soon! Katelynn has been sleeping great with 11 hours at night and a 2-3 hour nap. She is almost completely on grown up food now, though we still throw in the occasional oatmeal for the nutrients. Lately she has been really enjoying cereal and chicken nuggets.

She continues to be an incredible social butterfly, and she loves any chance to interact with other kids. What an amazing little girl we have on our hands!
