Kayla turns 20 months!

Dear Kayla,

It's amazing that in four short months you're going to be two years old!  I feel like I say this all the time but it feels like just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant and now here you are.  It's been a few months since I've written, and I fully intend to go back and post-date your letters, but since this month is fresh on my mind, here goes.  

At 20 months, you are:

  • growing like a weed -- I don't have your exact height but at your last check up you were 32 1/2 inches tall!  Here's hoping you're as tall as your daddy! :)
  • starting to use words a bit more - you regularly say thing like more (as well as signing them), woof woof when you see a doggy, happy (because it was mommy's birthday and we sang happy birthday), dame (Spanish for give me)
  • you can high five on command as well as point to your eyes, nose, mouth and ears - you can say eye and trying to say nose (we're working on it)
  • a very picky eater! Your favorites are turkey franks, Annie's Mac & Cheese  and chicken nuggets but that can change at any point in time.  Your favorite fruits are strawberries, bananas and raspberries.  
  • Your sleeping habits need some help but we're working on them.  You nap one to two times a day for about 30 minutes to an hour.  I wish you napped like other babies for hours at time.  You sleep about 5 hours at night before waking up to comfort nurse.  Yes, your are still nursing but only during the wee early hours of the morning.  Mommy is trying very hard to wean you but so far no luck.  I think we need to revamp your sleep schedule!
  • You love dancing and reading books, playing and being around people.  You're one of the friendliest babies I've ever seen.  You just love attention you little ham! 
The weather has been crazy hot so we haven't had too many adventures but we're heading to San Antonio next week to relax for the weekend, so I'll be sure to take lots of photos of our first official family vacation.  I'm so looking forward to it!

Love you with all my heart,
Mommy
