E is 16 Months!

Age: 16 months

 Stats: She was 31 inches tall at her 15 month check up. At her most recent doctors visit she weighed in at 21 pounds! In the last few weeks she has definitely hit a growth spurt so I am sure this has changed.

Clothes: Since the growth spurt 12 month clothes just looks uncomfortable. So she is officially in 18 month clothes.. Although the pants fall off her skinny butt!

First time playing in the snow! She loved it... until she face planted!

Favorite foods: The usual. Chipotle, beans, cheese, pickles, carrots, ramen, chips, candy, cupcakes. Don’t worry she doesn’t get all those sweets and treats all the time, but she does ask for them all the time. She also has a new found love for smoothies. She refuses to share them with us.

Not sharing her smoothie with anyone!

Eating a yummy cupcake at Uncles gender reveal party!

Loving chips and salsa!

Favorite words: Her vocabulary widens daily. It amazes me. She is starting to form sentences and she will say everything we do. Most recently she says I love you, it comes out “I you”. She also says “Me”, “Ellie”, “Elliana”, “Papa”, “Momma”, “Daddy”, “Grandma” (not very clearly). She also knows all her aunts and uncles names. “Keys” and “Car” are often heard in our house. She loves to play with keys and she knows that we use them to start the car.

Playing dress up at 7am!

Favorite activities: Reading books. Playing on her iPad. Bath time. Playing with her puppies. Playing dress up.

Least favorite activities: Still waking up in the morning, she gets her milk and starts drinking it and then turns over and tries to go back to sleep. I have to wake her up literally 3x every morning; once she is up she is happy as can be.

Momma's Proud Moment: I just love when she tells me she loves me. She is so sweet and always has me smiling. She is so smart and knows her favorite books, can pick out letters when prompted, and definitely knows what she wants now-a-days.

First time wearing big girl panties!

In just a week, she will become a big sister. I can’t believe how fast the last nine months have gone. I know that it will be a transition for her. My biggest worry is that she will be jealous of having to share me. She is a total mommas girl and doesn’t let anyone else do anything for her if I am around. I just know I will have my hands full...

"Look Mom, I can still play in the water when you lock me out!"
