Sienna is now just a few days shy of 19 months. She’s still a very happy toddler – loves to smile, very friendly, enjoys her food and most of all, makes us laugh all the time. We took her for a quick 18 month check up a few weeks ago and besides her constant runny nose, she’s in great health. She weighs in at about 11.2 kg (roughly 26 lbs) and 86 cm (not sure what it is in inches, but she’s huge). So in HK, little kids need to start paying for the train once they are 100 cm, so if she still continues to grow at the rate she’s been growing, she’ll probably have to pay next year!
These days, Sienna loves to color and use stickers, pushing her babies around in the baby stroller, and of course playing with the toy kitchen. She still enjoys playing restaurant with Cadence a lot. Recently, Sienna is able to sit and enjoy the TV! The girls don’t watch that much TV, but when I turn it on now, she runs and sits on the couch (I sense a couch potato in the making). Just a few months ago, she wasn’t that interested in it . We recently bought a Chinese karaoke DVD and she loves bopping to the music and watching the videos.
I know we’ve said it with Cadence a lot, but we love this toddler stage. They are discovering the world and everything is so interesting to them. The way they talk is just so super cute. Sienna can now probably say over 25-30 words and is starting to put words together. Her favorite is “go poopoo.” A very important phrase, I might add
I know we can’t freeze time, but we’d like it to go a bit slower. The kids are growing up way too fast!
