Elayna 18 Months

Elayna you are 18 months old. Where has the time gone? We love you so much.
Weight: 24 lbs
Height: 32.5 inches
Head Cir: 18.5 inches
You are climbing everything: chairs, tables, stairs and you try the van. You are wearing size 4 diaper, size 5 shoes, and 18-24 month clothes. You love using your fork and spoon when eating and will push your plate away when you are done eating. You are drinking out of a straw sippy cup. Your hair is in your face if I don't fix your hair. You try and move your hair with your hands but it does not stay put. You love your stuffed animals and sleep with 7 or 8 of them. You give hugs and kisses to us and we love it. Brushing your teeth is an adventure because you don't like cleaning the top row. You will bow your head and fold your arms for a few seconds when we pray. Cooked carrots are not your favorite. You love eating meat, rice, pasta noodles and avacados. Your smile is contagious and everyone comments on your "smiling or happy eyes". When I ask Lilia what your name is, she says, "Elayna, but we call her Laney Lou".

Duet on the Piano

Lilia and Elayna play on the piano at least once a day or more. Lilia does not bang but mimicks what we do. Elayna still bangs but is learning to press keys with fingers.

Daddy's Childhood Home (Grandparents Home)

The girls love going to grandma and grandpa's house. Love the decorations for the 4th of July. Also, look at those flowers! Lilia wants to pick some next time.

Beautiful Mess!

My girls do not mind getting dirty. They had the best time playing. They took a bath when we got inside. Rinsed them off first and got the dirt down the drain and then gave them a bath.

Play Dough Fun

It has been a while since we played with play dough. Elayna did not eat it this time. Both girls played for about 30 minutes. Yeah!

I Can Swim in the Deep End

Lilia earned her certificate by passing the deep end swim test. She had to take at least three breaths. She did it with 4 breaths! So proud of her. We got the shirt for her.

Elayna's First Nursery Class

Elayna you did not know what to expect and you did great. Lilia was so excited for you to join her. About 20 minutes later they brought you to me for diaper change. You were a mess. I got you cleaned up and you went right back with Emily. You were very happy to see me when we picked you and Lilia up. So far if Lilia goes with you then you are fine in nursery. They have a plastic slide that you love.
I love the face you are making!
