19 months!

I decided to post this a few days early because I know I have a busy day at work tomorrow and we have a jam-packed weekend planned!

On Sunday (2/20), Brooke will be 19 months old.  Time is just flying light-speed ahead...I feel like if I blink, I will miss it, and my beautiful baby will be a teenager.  It has been amazing to watch her grow, and I am so proud of her.

At 19 months, she:

-"Counts" - and I put that in quotes because she thinks counting goes 1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10.

- Knows her ABC's - she doesn't sing from start to finish, but you can stop at any time and she'll fill in the letter.

- Her favorite songs are still If You're Happy and You Know It, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus, and the I Love You song.  Her favorite songs on the radio are the ones that go "If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?" and "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me." (Um, is this bad?  I don't even know the song names, and my daughter loves songs about sex.  LOL - it's what is on our top 100 station on the way home from school---and these ALWAYS make her dance)  She also loves Lady Gaga and New Kids on the Block! (What can I say?  She is my daughter!  She always dances more to Donnie's voice too, LOL).

- Talks a TON.  I'm planning on making a list of all the words she says on her own to just keep track of it - and she will try to repeat anything I ask her to (as long as she's not around "strangers")

- Loves toys you ride on - bikes, swings, rocking horses.....

- Loves her doll babies and stuffed animals - she hugs them, kisses them, wipes their faces, and changes their diapers.  She LOVES the baby she has that goes in the bathtub with her!

- Wipes her own nose, mouth, hands, and brushes her own hair and teeth.

- Tries to dress herself whenever I let her.

- Knows red, blue, and yellow. 

- Drinks everything from sippy cups and eats all solids. (She especially loves mac 'n cheese and peanut butter sandwiches).

- Loves to draw/fingerpaint.  (I am so excited to take her to paint pottery!)
