Claire at 19 Months

Claire is 19 months - well on her way to being a two year old! (Scary, isn't it?)
She has a new tooth on bottom, bringing the total to 4 on top, 3 on bottom and 2 molars on top and bottom (so 11 in all).
She is really into dressing herself - still loves hats of every kind, and also loves to put on her daddy's shoes and socks (pictures below).
She has become a climber - a recent timeout in her crib ended with her sitting on her changing table pulling out all the wipes. We had to rearrange her room to keep this from happening again!
She is really into stacking things and likes to make tall columns from her blocks. Her NiNi says this is evidence of amazing hand-eye coordination. I like that she makes platforms for her ponies (picture below).
She is attempting new words and phrases - including "I love you," which is a wonderful reward for mommy!

She still loves to be outside, hates the doctor, loves to hold hands and pray at dinner, and is a good eater, a good big sister, and a sweet kissy baby. Here she is, Martha Claire at 19 months... in Daddy's socks...
