Elizabeth 15 months old

Elizabeth had her 15 month check-up yesterday. She weighs 21lbs 11oz, 30 1/4 inches long and her head is 46.5cm. She is in the 50th percentile in everything but her head is in the 75th percentile....for her big brain. She has all 16 of her teeth in...just waiting on the 2 year old molars. She can crawl up and down the staris, walks and runs everywhere, makes animal sounds, shakes her head yes and says mama, dada, sissy, milk, juice, please, minnie, seahorse, uh-oh, yucky, kaka and yes. She is a bringht little girl...when I tell her it's time for bed, she will kiss everyone good night and go to her room. She still hates her teeth being brushed and loves to still suck her thumb and touch our tummies. She is the clown of the family. At night she will start to pace around the room, stop, start to laugh and dance and then do it again. When getting ready for a bath she will fart and just laugh because she thinks it is funny. One night while getting out of the bath, I was brushing Victoria's hair and Elizabeth was handing me something, I grabbed it and it was poop. She had squatted down, pooped and wanted to hand it to me. She went to grab more and I was yelling yucky and she just laughed. She brings so much laughter into our lives. I love her very much and cannot wait to see what the future holds for her.


Victoria now sleeps in her bed without a bed rail. I was scared the first night of her falling out but she did not. She will be 3 in 2 short weeks.

The Nutcracker

Victoria had her Ballet recital on December 5th. She was a mouse and a snowflake in The Nutcracker. The mice had to run around on stage and play dead at the end when the mouse king died....but Victoria watched the Nutcracker and Mouse King fight and then when all the mice left the stage she stayed behind because she wanted to pick up the mouse king's sword.


They changed from a mouse into a snowflake. She comes out on stage and they circle around the Snow Queen...but Victoria decided to sit behind the Queen and play with her snowflake wands, she did get up and dance around her. One of the girls' snowflake wands got caught in the SnowQueen's tutu and she tried to get it out but failed and then one of the little snowflakes also tried to get it out and it was so cute.


Her Papa gave her 3 yellow and 3 pink roses afterwards and she was so happy to get her flowers. As you can see on her face. We went back to our house with close family and friends and had spaghetti. french bread, salad and yummy ballerina cupcakes.


As a mother, I am just so very proud of her and all that she does. I cried when I saw her on stage and at that very moment I looked at her and thought that she is growing up to be such a beautiful little girl...she is no longer my baby.

Family Pictures

There is an old barn by our house and a feed tower of some sort that I thought would be awesome for pictures. I had my friend take the pictures and they turned out pretty good. We needed some new ones with Hercules in them.
