Raleigh is 19 months old!


  • Height: 32.25 inches
  • Weight: 22.7lbs
  • Development: According to the doctor's note Raleigh is "growing great and everything looks great!" She impressed the doctor with her verbal skills and saved her loudest yowls for the nurse with the immunizations.
  • Likes: reading Curious George stories; going for walks/stroller rides
  • Dislikes: the usual stuff – being told no, having her hands washed before and after meals, putting on a diaper after bath
  • Communication: She’s talking up a storm and can repeat almost any word she hears. Her favorite phrases are “Mommy, look!” “No want that.” “Go outside*.” “Mine.” “Me!” “No!” Monday night I said “awesome” during bath time and she repeated it. It was, well, awesome. :-)
  • Skills: The hopping is getting a little better. Her spoon/fork movements are more controlled so she doesn’t spill as much food when feeding herself. She likes to help clean up and knows where things should go. Last night, Raleigh sang “Happy Birthday” spontaneously in the car. Magic, I tells ya.

Happy mirthday, sweet baby getting-bigger-every-day girl! (That makes me happy and sad at the same time.)


* Outside can mean literally outside but often she means she wants go “outside” the bedroom to the living room.
