The Journey: 19 months

I know every parent says it, but Lillian is so smart, haha!! at 19.5 months now, she knows her colors, counts to 10, sings the ABC's, knows her basic shapes, knows almost every animal by the picture as well as what animal/object that every letter stands for (thanks to flashcards)! She also knows that she lives on 42 (42nd floor in our building, and thus will push the elevator button).
She impresses us all the time by repeating something that we have only told her once, her memory is outstanding!! She makes me laugh everyday, the things she says are so funny. And she also has a temper tantrum everyday, so there's that.
At her 18 month checkup she weighed 11.5 kg (25.3 lbs) and was 83 cm (32.7 inches) tall. I hope she hasn't grown much since then, but she likes to stand on the scale at home and she has weighed about 25.5 pounds lately. She wears 18-24 month clothes mostly. Her legs are long so she can wear 2T or 24 month leggings but can fit in some 12 and 18 month onesies as her torso is not very long.
Lillian talks constantly, and will often repeat something over and over until you acknowledge her. She is starting to form sentences and it's very impressive. She loves to refer to everything as "dis one" when she doesn't know the name. She also says "no" or "ok" to everything I ask her, as yes is not yet in her vocabulary. She loves shoes, and says "no shoes inside" as we walk in the door. She also helps Daddy put away his shoes everyday when he walks in the door. She has said "oh no Mommy go" (or daddy or Sol) for the last month whenever she is by herself. She wants someone in the room with her at all times and will immediately run after you whenever anyone leaves the room.
She is constantly getting new toys all the time (spoiled only child)! So she loves the train track, coloring with crayons or chalk, making shapes with cookie cutters and play-doh, throwing and catching bouncy balls, taking care of her baby dolls, building houses for her animals with the blocks, playing tea party, and dancing to barney songs! She still LOVES story time with daddy before bed, although she has trouble staying still enough for a book and likes to, instead, organize and rearrange her books around the room, haha!
We have really gotten rid of the stroller as she prefers to walk through the malls and anywhere we go. Such a big girl now, as she likes to push the elevator buttons and buckle her car seat on her own. And she calls herself a big girl when we tell her that she can eat her cereal by herself and keep her paci in her crib after sleeps. She can finally sit still for a movie and wants to watch Finding Nemo and Little Mermaid on repeat. So, of course, she also recognizes the characters in the toy stores and wants everything! She still likes watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Paw Patrol and Bubble Guppies on the weekends, but will get bored and ask to "watch mermaid".
