19.5 MONTHS- HALLOWEEN 2011!

Our little Ladybug loved trick or treating this year.  She walked up to each house and said, "Trick or Treat" and smiled as they put candy in her pumpkin.  She even said "Thank you"!  SO MUCH FUN!

19.5 MONTHS- B. DAY PARTY AND PUMPKIN FUN!

Jordyn celebrated his 5th birthday!

Later that night, they all carved pumpkins!

19.5- MONTHS- COMMUNICATION SKILLS!

Nevaeh's communication skills continue to grow by leaps and bounds.  She can count to 25 on her own!  And, she responds in words or sentences appropriately.  For example, tonight they were leaving a shoe store.  The cashier said "Have a good night".  Nevaeh looked at the lady and said, "You, too!" and waved good bye!  Pretty impressive!

19.5 MONTHS- PETS

 Nevaeh loves giving our dog, Chael, a "stodder" ride!  LOL

This is her new dog.  She is a Chocolate Lab.  Mommy and Daddy swayed between the names Coco and Hershey.  However, Nevaeh decided that she was calling her Hershey.....So Hershey it is!  She tries to ride her like a pony!  LOL  (This is their new house in the TV room looking into the dining room)....Not quite ready to post before and after pictures....but will soon!

19.5 MONTHS- SHOWERS

Nevaeh has learned how to take a shower.  She does a good job trying to wash her hair and her body.  Many times she gets in the shower with Mommy, but she doesn't like to take turns getting under the shower head.  She tells Mommy,  "My water....No Mommy, my turn.  My water!"  Yesterday, she watched Mommy shave her legs.  After they got out of the shower, Nevaeh sat on the floor and rubbed her legs.  Mommy asked what she was doing....Nevaeh said " I shave my legs".   Then she told Mommy she had to POOP, NOW!  She even squeezed her butt cheeks together.  Mommy sat her on the potty.  Nevaeh tried and tried.....but no luck.  Afterward, she had to get the toilet paper and wipe herself!  She said, "I pooped, I wipe with toilet paper"!

19 MONTHS - MISSING IN ACTION!

Mommy was going through Jordyn's birthday gifts and realized Nevaeh hadn't made her presence known for some time....Not overly concerned, Mommy started searching each of the rooms on the first floor not gated off.....still no Nevaeh....Then the worry set in.....that is until she heard her upstairs with all the bigger kids who came for the birthday party. Mommy brought Nevaeh and all 10 kids downstairs and asked who took the baby upstairs......No one fessed up so she put them all in timeout until someone told the truth.....20 minutes into time out with no confessions guess who goes missing AGAIN..... Yep, Nevaeh climbed over the baby gate herself and went back upstairs to play. YIKES.....Time to get taller baby gates! ......Oh yeah, Mommy did apologize to the older kids! LOL

19 MONTHS- LITTLE MOMMY



Nevaeh's mommy instincts are kicking in.  She loves taking care of her babies.  She feeds them, changes them and gives them her paci.  She even tries to feed the babies her real food! LOL  She loves giving the baby and her animals rides in the "strodder" !  HAHA!

19 MONTHS- NEW BEDROOM/NEW HOUSE

Mommy and Daddy moved into the new house a few weeks ago (will post pictures of before and after the remodel once the move is complete.....might be awhile! ).....Nevaeh  voiced her opinion over her new bedroom.....NO GO!  She doesn't like her new room :-(    Last night, Daddy put her in her crib sound asleep, but Nevaeh woke up and cried "No like!  Me want you!"  Mommy gave in and got her out of her crib.  They snuggled in Mommy and Daddy's room when Nevaeh pointed to her playpen and said, "Want playpen, No like room!"  Mommy put her in the playpen and all was quiet for the rest of the night.  I have a feeling it will be a long time before the transition to her new room is done!

19 MONTHS- PICTURE TIME!

19 MONTHS-SHARING!

Nevaeh telling Daddy that it was time for his nap and gave Daddy her blankie and rubbed his head!  LOL

19 MONTHS! OMG!



Dear Nevaeh,

You are rounding the corner towards two years old!  Yikes!  Where did the time go?  I must say that I am loving this age!  You are such a good little talker.  It is so cute to hear you ask me questions, or even make a statement.  You are the one initiating the conversations now.  I also notice how you have a good memory to complete a task.  Yesterday, I walked you out to the mailbox.  I told you we were getting the mail for grandpa.  You walked down the long drive. You waited patiently as I got the mail out of the mailbox.  You held out your hands to take the mail from me.  Then you walked back up the long driveway, while saying, "Take mail to crappa (grandpa)".  We walked into the house, and up the stairs, but grandpa was on the phone so we went into the bedroom.  You dropped the mail on the floor and started playing.  About 10 minutes later, grandpa was off the phone.  I said, "Let's go see grandpa".  You started to walk passed the mail, stopped and said "Oooops, take mail to crappa!"  You picked up the mail and walked to grandpa saying, "Mail, crappa!" with a smile on your face!  You were soooo proud of yourself! And, I was amazed at how you remembered to finish the task!

Lately you have been making bedtime a struggle.  You  really hate going to bed.  Earlier, you cried, "I SCARED!"?  Well last night, you cried for her Bubbie (Jordyn) and Sissy (Alexis).  The tears were real with deep sobs!  :-(  Made me sooooo sad.  I know you like staying all night with us, but the bedtime antics are killing me!  So ease up on this Old Grandma, PLEASE!

Love you with all my heart!
Grandma Dason

18.5 MONTHS- VEGIES?

Nevaeh has turned into a picky eater and as you know from the previous posts, Nevaeh is getting taller, but not gaining weight.  To entice her, Mommy tried V-8 juice since she is such a good juice drinker!  Well lets just say, it didn't work!  Mommy put the V-8 juice in her sippy cup and gave it to Nevaeh.  She started drinking, then stopped in mid stream and stared at her sippy cup.  She said "NO JUICE" and gave the cup to Mommy and said "More, More, More please. " Mommy pretended to put different juice in the cup and handed it back to Nevaeh, but she did the same thing by stopping her drink in mid stream and cried NO! She then put her hands to her face and cried real tears.  Daddy asked her if she wanted water.  The tears stopped instantly and Nevaeh repeat "Water, water, water" until Daddy got it for her.  She then said "Thank you" after she taste tested it!

Any thoughts on how to get her to eat or drink vegetables?  What works for all of you?

18.5 MONTHS- BEDTIME





This would be the face of the cute little one who pulls  at my heartstrings once she knows she has to go to bed.  I wished I would have taken a picture of the tears when she was crying "I SCARED"(See previous post)...Which would have been about 5 minutes after the smiling picture was taken!

18.5 MONTHS- GRANDMA INITIATED!

Grandma initiated??? What do I mean by this?

1. Last night Nevaeh spent the night. She usually gives us a hard time about going to sleep but last night takes the cake....She cried with real tears with a death grip around my neck crying "I SCARED!". Over and over until she fell asleep....talk about pulling at my heart strings!

2. This morning we got up and went to the beauty shop....She was such a good girl sitting on my lap, watching intently, eating her crackers and drinking her juice....then....All of a sudden she said, " I hurt" and threw up all over me! Talk about being unprepared! YUCK!

Yep, you could say I was initiated alright!
