Joey: 19 Months

Joey is still hovering around that 20 pound mark at 19 months.

Still not taking those first steps, Joey has transitioned from the “booty scoot” to full-on knee walking. He is up on his knees in the walking motion. He will also sit, put his left foot on the ground, like taking a step, and drag his backside and right leg along. Whatever mode of transportation that will work while having something in his hands, he will do. I don’t think he realizes that walking would actually be easier than what he’s doing. He continues to walk behind toys, along ledges and will walk with us holding onto just one hand now. 

Joey’s vocabulary continues to expand. He now says: mouth, ears, Sam Sam, farm, Ernie, poo poo and goodbye.

Not much has changed in the last month as far as eating or sleeping is concerned.

Joey continues to be a sweetheart. He will give kisses to mommy on request. It’s very sweet. His love affair with the cats continues, as does his love for books.

In the past month, I’ve noticed Joey becoming attached with blankies in the crib. He doesn’t seem to care which blanky it is, just likes to have one in there. In the past few days, he’s even fallen asleep under one, which is unusual. With the warm summer months quickly approaching, Nana (Joe’s mom) is making Joey a few top sheets so he can still have his blanky but won’t get so hot.

Daddy helped with distraction for this month’s photo, making the process a whole lot easier.
