Mila ~ 19 months old

Mila is 30.5" tall (25%) and weighs 25lbs (55%!)  She's a small fry who eats well :)

Mila is the same size as her almost 1 year old cousin, Clayton!
When Mila gives hugs, she pats you on the back!
She calls Caleb Bro Bro, and is always loving on him!  She doesn't like when he falls asleep first!  She goes right up to his face and says "Bro Bro," and tries and wake him up!
Mila is more independent at night.  If Caleb falls asleep, and she's still awake, I can walk out of the room and she'll fall asleep on her own.
She's finding her voice!  At times when she gets really excited or upset, she can get loud!
Mila and her cousin Sophie
Her latest sassy shenanigans include staring at the wall with her arms crossed, and flat out ignoring me!
Mila's favorite song is "Let It Go,"  from Frozen!  She asks for "Go" all throughout the day and at night.  When the song comes on, she "sings" throughout the whole song!  You can hear her say snow, know, good girl, and go! 
She gives the sweetest kisses!  I asked her for a kiss the other night, and right after she gave me one, she sat up, leaned over to Caleb and waited for a kiss from him!
Snuggling with her babies and Milli
Mila is picking up so many new words!  She usually only says the first sound of the word, but we can tell what she's saying.  A common word is help!  If she's working on something and wants us to help her, she grabs us by the hand and asks for help!
Whenever she sees my phone she either says "game" or "move," for I like to move it!
She does a fake hyperventilating thing!  It's hilarious!  She does it when she's excited, worried, or scared!
She is very interested in going "poopoo!"  All kinds of potty is "poopoo!"  She takes us by the hand to her potty chair and tells us when she has to go!  It's unbelievable!  Of course she still uses her diaper, but we are following her lead and having her sit on her potty chair!  Everytime she goes, she calls out to Bro Bro to show him what she did!
She's so going to yell at me one day for these!
She is doing great with her Mama obsession, and is going more willingly to all people, including Daddy, which makes me very happy!!  When she's around people she doesn't know, she gets very quiet and shy, and takes a while to warm up.
She's been doing better with her car sickness...fingers crossed!  We just have to make sure to keep it cool in the car and no sudden stops!
laying down to watch "Let it Go"
She loves her shoes!  When she sees us getting ready to go somewhere, whether or not she's going with us, she runs to the mudroom to get her shoes!

Her favorite food is still cheese!!

My sweet and sassy girl still looks like a baby when she's asleep!!  We love her soooo much!

Caleb's Preschool

Caleb (and Mommy) are loving preschool!  I think we made a good choice!  The plans that the teachers put together each day are amazing!  They send home a monthly newsletter letting us know the lesson plan for each week, and then upon pickup tell us what the class did that day.  Everything they do is so creative and sounds like they are very busy and having fun!  I like that they tell us what they did each day, because it lets me know which questions to ask when I ask him about his day.  Otherwise when I ask him what he did in school that day, every day is the same answer, "I played!"  Haha!
