Nineteen Months

Dear Elizabeth,

Today you are 19 months old!  Oh my gosh!!!

You are 19-months-old!

You have so much personality and we love watching you change every day.  You love to get tickled on your neck (under your chin) and think that is the best. thing. ever. You love to wear sunglasses, hair bows, and shoes - you are obsessing over shoes.  You have become quite the accessory queen and love playing dress up with necklaces and bracelets.

In the past month you have done A LOT!

You started going to a new babysitter (Ms. Vicki) and you love to go and play with the other kids.  You started going when I went back to work and it has been an easy transition for you.  Ms. Vicki keeps four other kids and all of you have a blast playing, and singing, and dancing together.

For Labor Day we went to Virginia Beach for a vacation and I ran in a half marathon.  You were very nervous about the beach at the beginning, but by the end of the weekend you were running up to the water and playing in the sand.

You had your first major illness.  You have been on antibiotics for the past 12 days fighting a bacterial infection.  You had to get an IV of antibiotics the first day with your 102.8 fever and white blood cell counts over 21,000 (that's really high).  The second day you got two shots of antibiotics and for the past 10 days we have been giving you oral antibiotics.  Thankfully, your last day of antibiotics is today and you have been feeling great for the past week.  We are so happy you feel better!

Last weekend we had a girl's weekend because Dad went away for a Dude's weekend.  We went to the park, the gym, Chick-Fil-A, and played around the house.  It was so fun having a girl's weekend in with you.

You wear a size three diaper.  You wear 18-month clothes and size 4 shoes.  You eat three meals a day and one afternoon snack.  You absolutely LOVE milk and want to drink it all the time.  You LOVE animals- especially cats and dogs.

You are talking all the time and your vocabulary is expanding everyday.  You are also very polite.  You say please and thank-you all the time.  Some of your new words: hat, Minnie (Mouse), chair, and cheerio.  Some words you say all the time: Please, thank-you, eat, milk, paci, hi, bye-bye, more, all-done, momma/mommy, TV, woof-woof, and meow meow, night-night. 

Here are some pictures of your adventures in the last month:

We are so proud of you sweet girl.  We love you so much.  Stay Sweet!

Love,

Mom and Dad
