Ainsley - 18 months

So I’m a little behind considering that she is almost 19 months at this point but better late than never J.  This little girl is such a sweetheart and has grown up so much.  Within the last few weeks she has really started talking much more than before.  She’s trying to repeat words and using her words much more than before.  She loves animals and can make lots of animal sounds and animal actions.  Her favorite being the dog and she loves all her stuffed animals and dolls so much.

She is still the climber and trying to keep her from standing on chairs and climbing up everything is pretty much impossible.  At least she’s a little more balanced and hasn’t fallen quite as much as before.  She definitely wants to be one of the big kids and pitches a fit if she can’t sit in one of the counter chairs like everyone else.  She is also still a super picky eater.  She seems to be more of a snacker than eating full on meals and it’s been a bit of a challenge to get her to eat things that she used to love but she is growing so we aren’t too worried.  She’ll just probably be a little peanut like Lincoln which is ok J.  Some of her favorites are breakfast sausage, yogurt and popcorn.  She loves being able to feed herself and most of the time makes less of a mess than her brothers.

 

 Ainsley is finally getting more teeth and has pretty much been teething nonstop since they seem to be coming in really slow but she has 7 teeth and a molar and a few others popping through.  Her mouth just looks funny right now since most of her teeth are on the right side so it’s a little off balance.  She’s getting them in the strangest order lol.

This little girl loves playing with her brothers and wants to be a big kid and keep up with all the time.  She also is such a sweetheart and will run to them and give them hugs and kisses anytime they get hurt or are crying. She loves baths and still loves her paci’s although we are trying to limit them to bedtime and the car.  She also loves hats and shoes and is always walking around with someone’s hat or shoes on and is the first kid to ever show interesting in my makeup drawers and jewelry.  I guess it’s just the girl coming out in her J.  We love this little girl so much and it is so fun to watch her little personality grow and develop even more each day.

Here are her stats from her appt: Weight: 22.9 lbs (23%) Height: 32.3 inches (63%)
