So the big news in our little home is that we're expecting another crazy adorable baby! Although this new little one is earlier in our timetable, we're excited. Ok, I have to admit I wasn't thrilled when I first saw the two pink lines on the pregnancy test. I kept telling Tim, "Oh my gosh! We're going to have two kids THIS Thanksgiving. We're going to have two kids THIS Christmas!!" Although I had some restless nights, God and I talked it out and I told Him that this one must be really great in order to come earlier than I was ready ;) So we're all on board, and baby #2 is due to arrive on November 18th.
Our first born, Elliot the Adorable (most of the time), had her 15 month checkup last week! Our big girl is 32 inches tall (95th percentile) and I think 26 pounds (75th percentile). She continues to eat everything in sight, but still loves fruit, especially blueberries. Elliot says a couple words: Mama, Dada, ba (ball), dain dew (thank you), uh oh. She also signs "please" "sleepy" and "eat." Now before you're impressed with "please," I have to let you know she says it for everything. Elliot thinks that if she signs please, she gets what she whatever wants. She is constantly amazing me with what she remembers! Elliot knows the covers & spines of all her books and where they go one her bookshelf. They other day, Tim & I were singing "You are my sunshine" to her, and Elliot immediately went over and picked out the "You are my sunshine" book and handed it to me!
My latest confession: My child has watched Disney Jr. I know kids aren't supossed to watch TV until 2, but when Mommy is nauseous and needs a break, sometimes Micky Mouse Clubhouse brings a little bit of sanity to the day. Elliot only really watches it in the beginning and the end when the songs play so she can dance.She LOVES their "Hot Dog" song at the end!
What's next? Well, Tim & I are headed off to Indiana for our friends Brian & Karly's wedding, while my wonderful coworker Kim watches our sweet girl. I'm nervous about being away from Elliot for longer than a night, but I know she'll be in good hands. So after the wedding, I hope to have more pictures and posts to share :)
Deanna! I am so excited to see you!!!
