18 Months of Pink























Elliott turned 18 months old on May 9th. At her check up we learned she is in the 50th percentile with height and weight and her head size puts her in the 90th percentile. Goodness that's a big noggin! She only needed one shot and doesn't have another one until she is 4. She didn't have any reaction to the shot as she watched it go in.
Recently it's become obvious that raising a girl is going to be quite different than raising a boy. I've always heard that and now I can see it's very true! Elli is already showing more attitude and being extra dramatic about things.

When Weston got his big boy bed his sister inherited his crib. It didn't seem to make a difference to her. I took out all but one bumper because she uses them to stand on when she wakes up. One sweet thing she does is play with the ribbon on it as she is going to sleep. Without fail every nap time and night she grabs it to play with. She sometimes does it with her eyes closed. It's very cute to watch.
We love to play with nail polish and do each others hair. Having a little girl is so much fun! I'll pray she keeps the attitude to a minimum for now.

Move Over Mommy

We are going to be whipping up something for Valentine's Day.

Let me start with a little of this.
It's definitely missing something.
More sugar, or maybe vanilla?
I'm going to need another opinion. What do you think Bentlie?
Chocolate Animal Cracker crust will surely win brother over!
I achieved the perfect shade of red.
Yep, that's it Mom.
ALL bakers need a break from time to time.
Shew, I think I need a nap!
Maybe I will just keep tasting this stuff and get back to you.
Yea....I'm going to watch Buzz with brother now.
