Beach fun

Here I am at the beach having a good ol time. I really enjoyed running into the shallow water and chasing the birds. Playing and getting all dirty was another highlight of the day.

A Few days until 16 months

I know, I know..it has been a while and I am starting to slack. But hey when the girl hardly ever naps any more and if she does it is very short you can only do so much. So here she is a few days before her 16 month mark. She has 11 teeth now, 4 of which are molars. She does a lot of sign language, a good amount of animal noises, color/ draw with crayons and pens on paper, just learned to jump and then say " wooow" and is really good at following direction. Elena enjoys all of her play dates and friends she sees frequently. We are outside every day and enjoying our time in the yard at the house or the nearby parks.

15 month Check up

I just got home from my 15 month check up. Here are some updates: weight 23 lbs 15 oz ( 67 %), height 33 inches (above 97 %). Currently I have 6 teeth showing and am working on two top molars and two bottom molars working there way out as well to add to the collection (you can feel them and all their grooves). I handled my appt as well as could be expected given I had to get a toe stick and 3 shots. The doctor says I am doing extremely well with my development and all the way around. Another good appointment. These pictures are from a couple days before todays appt.

Here are more ....

To Good Friends

Here is my good friend Violet. She is 3 months older then me and we like hanging out. We get along famously. She shows me new things and we always have a good time together. There is never a dull moment and we keep our moms on their toes. So here is to friends.

More July Pictures

Here are a few more recent pics. Here is Elena trying to eat oatmeal all by herself using a bowl and spoon. She was very adamant to let us allow her to try to do it all on her own.
