As of yesterday, Daphne is 19 months old. It’s been fun to watch her development over the last month. She’s talking more. New words almost everyday. She pretty much feeds herself with her little fork and spoon, as long as I cut up any large pieces of meat. The only thing I won’t let her eat by herself is YoBaby yogurt, since it’s so liquidy. She loves dipping things, like tortilla chips in salsa. She’ll lick off the salsa and every two or three dips she’ll actually bite the chip. Now she just needs to get some teeth!!! Daph is holding steady at 8, and there would be so many more things she could eat if she just got some molars!

She’s 23 lbs and 32 inches tall, so her growth has been pretty steady. It’s weird to see my husband hold her. She looks so big in his arms. Definitely not the little peanut that could fit right underneath his shoulder. I kind of miss that little peanut, sometimes:

It’s also weird to be thinking about potty training. Daphne does a pretty good job of telling us when she needs to be changed, even if that means handing us a clean diaper as she drags us to her room then tries to climb up her changing table. I don’t want to rush things, but I have been letting her sit on her potty chair while I’m in the bathroom.

She’s still just as active as ever. I think we’ll log many hours at the park this summer, burning off energy. Which will be good, since I’m pretty sure Daphne could live outside.

Daphne is also very affectionate. A few days ago, I wasn’t feeling well and she’d climb up on the sofa, hug me, rub my back and give me kisses. So sweet!

I hope to get some new pics of her this week, so stay tuned!
