19 Months

Maya turned 19 months old yesterday and everyday she becomes more and more a toddler and less and less a baby.

Her sleeping is still going great with her sleeping comfortably through the night almost every night.

Her language is steadily improving, she now uses a few pivot words most notably bye-bye, every time we leave anywhere its now "bye-bye lights", "bye-bye seat", "bye-bye train". She is also becoming much more understandable and using language much more appropriately. When in her high chair, she'll say "up" when she wants up and if we don't get her out she'll say "down?". She also says things like "all done" when she doesn't want any more food.

She really likes her puzzles and will sit for a long time taking them out and putting them back in. She is really quick at figuring out how to get the pieces to fit.

She loves being with me in the kitchen and usually wants to sit on the counter or have me hold her while I make dinner or desserts. She's good at grabbing handfuls of flour and throwing them into a bowl. I've almost got her to where she will use a measuring spoon and get close to the right amount of something.

We're starting to see a few more tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants and she will even through herself down and kick her feet which is pretty funny to see. I have a feeling it will get worse before it gets better, but overall she's still a pleasure to be around.
