Off the Charts....

Ela is 18 months! Holy Cow... At night before bed she likes too read a story or look at pictures. A few nights ago I was showing her videos of herself on Itunes from when she was little. We were watching the video of her crawling and she goes "Mommy...Baby". Yes, Ela that is my BABY and now your a big GIRL!

The Stats:
Big Girl at her 18 month apt

Weight: 23.7 pds 41%
Height: 32 inches 44%
Head: 41%

A few of my favorite moments:
  • The constant kisses. She is so affectionate and over dramatizes the noise kisses make! Love it!
  • Her being able to communicate. She can for the most part express what she wants and it has made for alot less tantrums and fits.She repeats everything...Good and Bad!
  • When she is playing Mommy to "Baby Lily". I heard her say "Tata say no" to the baby with her finger out. She rocks her and pushes her in the mini stroller.
  • Biting has gotten much better. She only bit once in the past month...AND when she did, she told the kid "sowry". Knowing Ela I am sure it meant I am sorry you took my toy not that I bit you. The teachers at school were laughing that she knew to say sorry...Im not surprised for a while she was saying it enough every time she chomped!
  • Sleeping in...(Of course I am going to jinx myself now) but she is sleeping later each morning because she is up later with us.
  • When Tomasz is away I ask Ela where Tata is; she points up and says "sky" :) So sweet.
  • She now tells me"Lets Go" every morning!
  •  
Its been a busy summer. We are hardly at home and constantly running around with friends or being tourist in our own city! I swear there is something to do in NYC every weekend for 2 years! We have to jam pack it all before we move to the suburbs. Here is a few highlights of the summer so far:
Our favorite park in Brooklyn-Full on with a lazy river

Mini Playground every day after school

Taking a Break on Governor's Island

Tour of the City..Mom and Dad Powered

Carousel on the water under the Brooklyn Bridge

Pizza with the best buddys- McKensie and Levi

Chelsea Highline

4th of July Snack Break on the Rooftop
So now that Ela is 1 1/2 years and growing quick one thing is for sure...She might be perfectly average on the charts but her little personality is quickly flying off the charts.
