Miss Scarlett is 19th Months Old

Miss Scarlett is just so cute at 19 months!  She loves to do things, like ...
  • Wipe her face
  • Throw something in the trash (she's started doing it without being asked!)
  • Help wash clothes
  • Get the newspaper
  • Put her toys away
  • Bring me a diaper on request (she follows directions really well!)
  • Take clothing off and on. Her clothing ... or Christian's ... or mine ... or Jonathan's.  Our dirty clothes hamper is a wonderland to Scarlett! :)



Showing off her pretty new Mary Janes!


We were at a birthday party with toys galore, but my little Miss made her way to a bedroom and into a dog kennel and decided to play there! :)


Scarlett hasn't seen much rain in her 19 months of life.  It was sprinkling one morning and she sat down and just watched the raindrops hit the sidewalk.



And, of course, she still has a thing for getting on top of the table.  



Scarlett is 18 Months

Miss Scarlett is now an 18 months old ... a year and a half!


 
 

She's doing some really cute things now:

1.  Stacking lipsticks.  She likes to play with my tubes of lipstick and has been lining them up on the floor in an upright position. Then she realized she can stack them on top of each other.  I think that is pretty brilliant!



2.  We pray together at dinner every night.  She sits in a corner between Jonathan and me and reaches out a hand to each of us as we pray.  She stays quiet and still, and when we say amen, she also says amen. 

3.  She really likes to wave and say "BYE!!!" loudly to the teacher as we drop Christian off at school in the mornings.   Also, when she has decided it is her bedtime, she'll look at Jonathan and Christian, wave and say, "BYE!!!!!!!" and then walk off to our bedroom with me in tow.

What is not cute:  the continued screaming at the top of her lungs.  At home.  In the car.  Out in public.  High pitched and very loud.   Christian sits in the back with hands over ears, tears in eyes, begging me to sing a lullaby to calm her down.  I feel terrible for him!

At Scarlett's 18 month exam, her doctor remained concerned about her weight.  She had only gained one pound in three months, and that landed us an appointment with a pediatric gastroenterologist in September.   I am quite certain it'll go down like this:  we'll pay a $50.00 co-pay, get some bloodwork only to have the doctor (actually, nurse practitioner) declare that Scarlett needs to eat more.

Of course, we already know that.  And actually, she's been getting better about eating - esp. at dinner.  Some of her suprising foods lately have been brussles sprouts, artichokes and whole black beans.

But she sure does like to eat sand!


She's got so much curly hair ... we wish she'd let us put it into piggy tails!


She really liked being on the swing all by herself!


And she's really into pointing at things and saying, "That?"


Really, she's just CUTE all around:
