Griffin is 19 months old!

Griffin, you are now 19 months old! You're closer to 2 than 1 & I can't even believe it. Excuse the scraped nose; we were walking to the playground earlier this week & Griff face planted on the sidewalk. It wasn't pretty!

The stats:

Weight: roughly 21.5lbs

Height: just about 32 inches --finally grew enough for me to move buttons on your 12m longalls!

Clothing: almost all 12 month & a few 18 month things. I have been able to pull out summer stuff from last year & you can still wear a lot of it!

Shoe: 4.5

Diaper: 4

 

Here's what's been going on this month:

-You love the playground! We've been a couple times in our neighborhood and you love to climb on everything and go down the slides.

-We put a pillow in your crib and you LOVE it. You used to moved all around during the night and now you stay right on your pillow. You are sleeping better, too!

-You added Goofy to your list of lovies. You now have to sleep with Mickey Mouse AND Goofy.

-You love music & singing. You always dance when music is on & spin around. You also love to sing the "B-I-B-L-E" song. You can frequently be heard singing "B-I-B-I-B-I" to the right tune. Impressive!

-We registered you for 2 year old preschool next fall! AHH! I can't believe it!

-You got to see your baby on an ultrasound and learned that you'll be getting a sister! You still point to yourself sometimes when I ask who the baby is. Sometimes you point to my belly, too.

New things you are saying:

-"how are you?"

"where are you?"

-buh-bye

-Bruboo (what he calls Grayson)

-Ellie

-you try to count (uh, two, eeeee!)

-Melmo (elmo)

-Gookie (Cookie Monster)

You are currently loving:

-Mickey Mouse

-Trucks

-Little People airplane & school bus. You hoard ALL of your Little People Superheroes & make them all sit in the bus usually.

-Putting on everyone else's shoes

-Playing hide & seek. Your go to hiding spot is behind the curtains!

Griffin, I can't believe another month has passed so quickly. Lately we've been talking more about you becoming a big brother. It still just doesn't seem real--you are still such a baby to me! Your personality is so much fun. Wild & sweet all wrapped up in a tiny little body. You are very social and are always "talking" to everyone. You get so excited when all the neighbor kids are outside playing with us--you just love your big friends! We love you, sweet boy!
