19 months old

• Gwynn is starting to talk more and more.  She’s even said a couple of 2 word sentences (“Hey Bubba”…“Bye Mommy”).
• Her receptive language skills are through the roof. She can point to almost anything when we read her stories at night. We even have an iPad app for receptive language where it tells her to touch different objects…she’s pretty much mastered it.
• She is still obsessed with anything Mickey Mouse.  She can point to every character when we read her Mickey books. She loves to dance to all the songs too.
• At night before she goes to bed we let her pick out books to read. She gets pretty upset if we only have time for one book…usually it’s 3 or 4. She doesn’t really have a favorite yet, but pop-up books and Eric Carle books are read frequently.
• She’s still doing great at daycare. They said she loves to eat and will eat anything they give her. Ms. Ouida said that she acts a lot older than she actually is and she’s really very laid back and easy. When Daddy picks her up from daycare she insists on walking to the car instead of being carried (she still lets Mommy carry her). 
• She eats anything and everything at home. Her favorite things to eat are raisins, cheez-its, crackers, bananas, green beans, chicken, pasta, etc. Daddy got some sour straws and she LOVES those.  She likes eating Eggo French Toast Sticks for breakfast and one funny thing she’ll do with them is take one bite out of each piece (there are 4) before eating all of them. It’s very peculiar…we hope she doesn’t have OCD.
• We say prayers before we eat and she’s really good at saying “Amen” and doing the sign of the cross. We also say prayers before bed and she’ll repeat everyone’s name as we say it (“God bless Grammy…God bless Grandma…God bless Pop…God bless Grandpa” etc…). Our list is pretty long, but she’ll say everyone name with her little hands folded.  It’s so sweet. 
• At her 18 month doctor’s visit (on January 21st), Gwynn was 32.2 inches long (60th percentile) and 25 pounds, 1 ounce (60th percentile).
