Makena turned 19 months old on December 6th. I don't know where the time has gone. She is really developing a more pronounced personality. She is learning to have her own opinion and how to voice it. Her vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds. As she turned 19 months old, she seemed to be repeating us more as we said things. We have heard all sorts of words in the last month including "Please", "More", "Thank You", "Elmo" which is sometimes reduced to "Mo", "Black", "Shoes", "Duck", "Kitty", "Bear", "Cow", "Bow", and many more.
There is a funny story I need to capture about "Black Shoes". A few weeks ago, I was getting Makena ready for Ladies Bible Class and was about to put her pink shoes on her and she starts screaming "Black, black, black". I asked her if she wanted her black shoes and she did her little grunt with a nod which means yes and then said "Black shoes". It was so funny, but shows she is developing her own opinions. Needless to say, she wore her black shoes that day. Luckily they matched! :)
I think potty training will need to occur soon after the baby gets here. She is becoming very verbal about "tee tee", so I feel like we are getting very close. We'll see. I am in no hurry at the moment even though it would be nice to only have one in diapers.
She still has a magical laugh. It is truly a belly laugh that is contagious. She loves to dance and bounce. She laughs so hard when Riggins does his bouncing routine. She loves her "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" book which is what we read most nights after her bible story.
We love our little girl and can't wait to see how she continues to grow and learn. She is going to be a big sister soon. I am pretty confident she is going to be a great "little momma". She has taken a great interest in her babies in the past month or two. She diapers them and dresses them (shoes and socks anyways) as well as rocking them and putting them to sleep. I am trying to enjoy every minute of her before baby Brooklyn comes. I am going to have great fun with my girls.
Here are a few pics to mark the day:
