18 Months Old

So, technically Maryn is soon to be 19 months old.  I'm finding it's really difficult to sum up the developments in Maryn's life since her 15 month update.  She is transforming from baby to kid and everyday there's something new.  I guess I'll start by giving you her latest stats, since she's had issues with her growth chart curve in the past.  I'm happy to report that she is now 22.6 lbs (22nd percentile) and 30.5 in tall (15th percentile) - she has had a huge growth spurt! She's finally fitting into some size 18 month clothes.  For a while there, she was also eating like crazy, but that has slowed down some.  I think the most amazing development in the last 3 to 4 months has been her vocabulary; I can't even count how many words she knows.  She is really becoming quite the communicator.  I just keep waiting for the moment when she starts putting things together in sentences. Also, we got her a little potty chair and she has actually peed in it twice!  She isn't nearly ready to start potty training officially, but she is definitely curious and loves to talk about her potty.  There's a light at the end of the diaper tunnel!  Here are a few other tid bits about our sweet girl:
