19 months!

Little miss Harper is ALL of a 19 month old toddler...running, laughing, climbing, fussing and babbling!  She's a handful, that's for sure, but she's so stinkin' cute!  This little girl is sassy.  She's not saying a whole lot, but will do whatever possible to get her point across...pointing, "ah, ah, ah"ing, yelling and climbing.  She's very busy these days keeping up with her brother.  She still insists on doing whatever he is doing, which includes using the potty (yay!).  I have the feeling she's saying more that we think she is because we just can't understand her.  She clearly says mama, dada, bull, shoe, sock, nana, nose, elbow, eye, hair, diaper, okay and "heyago" (here ya go)...among other things.  She knows a handful of body parts and can point out things in her books.  Her 11th and 12th tooth just came in (next to the middle bottom ones), but she still has a pretty big, CUTE gap between her front teeth.  Her hair is getting so much longer and, honestly, a little out of control.  I have no idea how to tame curly hair.  Her bed-head is a serious blonde afro some mornings.  Lately she's been demanding to wear a bow in her hair, which helps the taming process, but it's still pretty funny.  She's a cutie!  Her eyelashes are super long and eyes are still a beautiful, clear blue.  She's still underweight, but growing in height well.  At her 18 month well-check (which happened to be just a couple days before she turned 19 months) her doc recommended that we do some detailed blood-work on her to check for things like, Crohns, inflammatory bowel  disorders, Celiac's and other issues that may be causing her slow weight gain.  She's still taking reflux medication, but we've been cutting back on it recently.  Her favorite food right now is bananas...like a whole one a day.  She's obsessed!  Lately her appetite has been great and her mood and spirit has also been great!  I know she's feeling better and loving life.  She's a super sweet girl who still loves to snuggle.  She still sucks those two middle fingers on one hand, while the other hand is in her belly button (she's a little obsessed with belly buttons in general, not just her own).  She's one sweet little girl!  I'm going to include her 18 month stats here because she was so close to being 19 months:
