20 Months

November 7 marked Haleigh's 20 month 'birthday' and we are finally starting to feel like we have more of a toddler than a baby on our hands! Haleigh is usually full of smiles, has an incredibly adorable laugh and is generally a very happy little kiddo!


Sleeping: Haleigh still goes to bed between 7:00-7:30 and sleeps until somewhere around 7:00am. She almost always wakes up happy and I usually lay in bed for a few minutes listening to Annaliese telling Haleigh to do something and Haleigh laughing hysterically in response to whatever it is that Annaliese just said or did.  I have been trying to get her down to just one nap during the day and she does pretty well with that about 3 days a week. The days that we are home all day, though, she definitely still wants 2 naps:) It's like she's making up for the days where we are out and about all morning! The purple bunny is still an absolute necessity and without it Haleigh would never fall asleep.


Eating: This girl loves to eat! She will try just about everything but makes it very clear when she likes or dislikes something. She also likes to choose things for herself; she will open the cereal cupboard and select which cereal she wants and will through a little fit if I try to give her something different! I don't feel like there are any clear favorite foods at this time; she mostly wants whatever everyone else has!

Clothes: Clothing ranges in size from 18 months to 3T! This little purple outfit she is wearing in most of these pictures is actually a 12 month outfit! I would say the majority of her clothes are 24 mon/2T but have shrunk a bit with all the washings. New clothes that I buy are 24 months. She is wearing sz 4 shoes now. 

She likes to try and put on her own clothes and shoes!

Activities: Haleigh doesn't like to miss out on anything! She loves watching Annaliese and mimicking whatever she is doing. She is walking/running all over the place but still is like a bull in a china closet and can't always control herself:) She falls frequently and is constantly running into things. She likes cleaning up, putting toys into their proper box, coloring and reading books. She dislikes getting her diaper changed (or at least laying flat on her back!) and bathtime with mommy. (She apparently does just fine what Daddy gives her her bath!) She is also a great running partner and doesn't mind running errands with me.


See...not a fan and trying to get out!

Teeth: Haleigh has 16 teeth...we are just waiting for the last set of molars to come in and then we will be done with teething! She loves brushing her teeth and would probably do it multiple times a day if I let her! Maybe she just likes the strawberry toothpaste:)

Communication: Haleigh's vocabulary is still very limited. She can say mama, dada, yeah and a few other random words every once in awhile. She also has a sound for Grandma that I can't even replicate. Haleigh will answer just about every question with "yeah" and Annaliese has learned how to ask questions so that the 'yeah' answer is what Annaliese wants. For example, "Haleigh, are you done with your snack?" "Yeah" "See Mom, Haleigh is done with her snack so I can have the rest."
