20 Months

This is going to be another brief post because it's late at night and late being posted.  I kept waiting thinking I would get around to weighing her, but we are completely out of the habit, so it just doesn't happen anymore.  Things have been going well.  She is still sleeping fairly well.  We have been having fun observing some new things now that we have the video monitor set up.  And sleep hasn't been disrupted with the addition of her brother's crib and rearranging of furniture in her room.  The only thing that seemed to happen is she was a little upset the first time we put her down for her nap after setting up the crib this weekend, because I think she thought she could try out the new crib.

In other news, we keep occasionally trying potty training with her just because she talks about it.  We were going to install the new toilet seat with the built in toddler seat, but found out it wasn't the right size and we weren't willing to pay the extra bucks for the one that was.  So we've returned it and opted for the cheap Sesame Street one that we'll just put on top of the regular seat when she's ready to go.  We thought having Elmo and Ernie (her favorite characters) on the seat would help.  She goes through the motions and says she wants to sit on the potty, so we undress her and take her diaper off.  But as soon as she's done recognizing the characters on the seat she wants off.  She really just wants to play with the seat.  I don't know if we're doing any good going through this ritual as I haven't read up at all on potty training at this point, but I figured getting her familiar with it shouldn't hurt.  I may find out later that it did, but I'm trying not to push the training issue since there's a chance she'll revert when the baby comes and she seems him in diapers.

Back to Sesame Street, we really don't let her watch that show, but something must be happening at daycare with it because she is learning the characters.  She started recognizing them in books people gave her but we hadn't started reading to her.  And she's pretty obsessed because they're on her diapers too.

One other random fact, I don't think I mentioned this before but a week or so ago I let Mei Li try some grapefruit because she kept asking for it when she saw me eating it.  I warned her that she might not like it, but she really did!  Ok, I must go now.  Goodnight world.
