Clara's 20 & 21 month survey...just to catch her up.

Monthly Survey

1. How old? 21 months
2. Doctor’s appointments?: Her next check-up is at 2 years on November 7.
3. Stats:
1. Weight: 29.8lbs
2. Height: 35.5 inches
3. Clothes size: 2T or 3T (or even some 4T) depending on brands. She’s up to a 7.5-8 in shoes already!
4. Diaper size: We moved up to a 6 for both regular and overnight diapers.
5. Hair color: Blonde and thick...but really pretty. :)
6. Anything else? She jumps now! She went from attempting to full-out doing in a matter of days. Now it’s one of her favorite things to do…and of course she has to narrate (Jump! Jump!).
4. Milestones:
1. Teething: I can’t see for sure because she doesn’t let me, but I think the bottom 2 molars are in now.
2. Talking: She's putting together short sentences now. She had been experimenting with it over the last month but has really picked it up.
1. New words: chin, shoe, bed, milk, juice, fork, oops, mouse, train, and her all time favorite: okay.
3. Anything else? We converted her crib to a toddler bed and tonight is the first night in it (7/19/12). She knows the entire alphabet and the sounds each letter makes, she knows a bunch of numbers and can do a little counting, and she knows most of her colors. She asks to go to bed but hasn’t yet fallen asleep in her bed; we still rock her. We’ve also managed to eliminate the bottle completely. Now she just takes a small sippy while sitting on Daddy’s lap before rocking to sleep.
5. Things she likes:
1. Toys: her big green ball and climbing on anything.
2. Books: She has been getting back into books again. I think she likes that she can say what the characters are (ie: mouse).
3. Songs: Alphabet song, If You're Happy & You Know It. She sings along with a lot of songs. She even has the songs in her LeapFrog shows memorized and can sing along.
4. TV Shows/Movies: SuperWhy, Sesame Street, Dinosaur Train, and her LeapFrog shows.
5. Other Activities: We got her back into swimming. Adam takes her and I go along with Sam on the nights that I'm off. She really loves it! She cries when it's time to leave.
6. Things she dislikes: Eating. ☹
7. Sleeping: Good most nights, even with the transition to her big girl bed. She still wakes up sometimes with nightmares, though…and has a hard time going back to sleep afterward.
8. Eating: Apparently we've hit the phase of toddler-hood where she has given up wanting to eat. It's a fight just to get her to eat a couple bites sometimes.
1. Favorite Foods: Anything if it can be dipped in something else. :)
2. Not so Favorites:
9. Nicknames: Nothing new from last month.
10. Things we’re looking forward to next month: Visiting Nama & Grandpa at their cottage and maybe going to Washington Island.
