16 months....

Us again! One of the things that I love about being a mother, is living through Ela's eyes. Today at the park reminded me. Ela went to go down the slide and she said "hot". Its a sunny hot day, and I remember when I was a little girl how I did not understand why the swing and slides were always hot. Every time I would go down the slide I would always think it would be different. Guess not!

Ela is still growing and quickly. At her 15 month appointment, she was 22 pounds(24%), and 31 inches tall(61%). She is going to be tall and skinny! Here are the recent happens in Ela's life:

  • She hangs out with the "boys" at daycare.
  • She is very vocal and talking up a storm. Her favorites are "utoh" and "on no" so much so that she pushes things off the table or chair just to say "oh no". The new words this month are "sit", "dog", "hot", "tub"
  • She went pee pee on the potty once. I am sure it was purely by accident but we are going to start potty training at home and at daycare. Even better when she sits on it she squeezes and goes "psshhhhh".
  • She remembers everything! You cant take something away and expect her to forget anymore....Darn!
  • She understands simple commands. "Ela, where are your shoes", "Ela, lets go to bed", "Ela, eat" and even "Ela, stop!"
  • She cleans up her toys at the end of each night.
  • The best one...She is SO affectionate. FINALLY! She comes up to sit on my lap to play, gives wet kisses and lots of hugs!!
She is a good little girl and learning quickly. I feel like no time will go by until I am typing her 2 year birthday post!

Here are some pics:
Happy Mothers Day!

She has the family sweet tooth from both sides!
