19 Months!

The girls started daycare this week.  They aren't getting as much sleep as they normally do, and Harper is either teething or has a little cold.  They were not cooperating when I tried to take their 19th month picture.

 

Reading books and combing hair - two of their favorite activities.

 

Sippies of milk before bed.

At 19 months:

• The girls love books (especially books that have flaps to lift), pushing toys all over the house, and their blankets.
• They regularly say "more" and "up".
• They know that ducks say "quack", cows say "moo", tigers say "roar", and dogs say "rough".
• We're still dealing with major tantrums on a regular basis. The biting seems to have slowed down, but they sometimes pinch.
• They love hot dogs, yogurt, goldfish crackers, cheese, and pretty much all fruit.
• They drink about three sippy cups of milk per day.
• They really like to use utensils.
• They wear size 18-24 month shirts and 12-18 month pants, size 4 diapers during the day and size 5 at night, and size 5 shoes.
• They love to "help". They like to throw their diapers away, and we've been working with them to pick up their books and blocks.
• They love to dump their mega blocks on the floor.
• They love to stand on their chairs and look out the window.  They can climb up on our dining room chairs, and we have to make sure that we don't leave anything too close to the edge of our counters.
• They give fantastic hugs and kisses.
• They slept from around 7:30 or 8 until about 8:30 am until we started waking them up at 6:30 for daycare.  They now go to bed around 7:15.  They take one nap, but haven't been sleeping for very long at daycare. 
• Tannah has 16 teeth, and Harper has 12.

 

The transition to daycare this week has been a little rough.  I'm really hoping that we settle into our new routine soon.
