Eleanor is 19 Months Old!


I can hardly believe 19 months is here. I have been eagerly awaiting 19 months since Amelia will be born this month, but it is so bittersweet. I am very sad that Eleanor and I will not have our alone time together as much anymore. I love her SO much more than I could have ever imagined and it breaks my heart to think that she might be sad/ jealous/ upset with a new baby in the house.


What you are up to right now Eleanor:


* You say at least 2 new words a day. We are amazed everyday that you can say all of these words!

* You love to share your food. You always feed mommy and daddy before yourself :) If any toys are around, you feed them too.

* You can say the alphabet with help from us.

* You now sleep with not one, but 2 lovies. Identical ones. We bought a replacement one and you have adopted it also.

* You love candy and thrown tantrums over it daily.

* Every morning, you get in bed with us and watch your "ci-cis". This means your Christian Music DVD.

* You love yogurt, turkey, tomatoes, strawberries, any bread/ cracker product.

* We started Gymboree this month and you love it. You absolutely wear yourself out each week!

* You have a stuffed kitty that you call Dustin and talk about all the time. (Dustin is my parent's cat)

* You love to make your lovies dance to music.

* You love hide and seek.

* You truly have the sweetest spirit. You hug and kiss me all day long without even been asked.

* You love to "roll call". Mama, Dada, Eleanor, lovie, etc with whoever is around.

* You still love to be outside. Now that you can say "outside", we hear that word probably 100 times a day.
* If you are bored at home, you grab your shoes and say "bye bye" like you are ready to go out and do something!
* You love the broom and mop. If only I could teach you to clean efficiently!
* You take the lid off of your snack trap and dump it out and say "mess!". I call you a mess all the time and you think it is too funny.
