Elsie's 1.5 Year Update

Our little girl is such a big girl these days! 1.5 years old already! 

She's such a sweetie and loves to give hugs but also has a a bit of the toddler rotten-ness. 

She says more words now: No, oh no, hi, bye, dada, mama, meme, dog ("doh'), up ("uh"), ow, hot, all done, moo, meow ("now"), down, and "dat" (for what's that?)

Her favorite things are: Her Elmo doll, coloring book/ crayons/ colored pencils, and watching tv

She started finally eating pb&j and other sandwiches. She still loves chips. She's picky on vegetables but usually will eat broccoli but loves fruit. She started using a spoon to eat oatmeal by herself. She also still gets a sippy of whole milk in the morning and again in the evening (12-16oz).

She's very active and loves to play outside and run, she can really run now, I can't wait until she starts playing in one area and actually knows to stay in that area haha because she usually tries running off. Her favorite is playing in dirt/rocks or climbing the playground equipment. She also has a newfound love for the swing and no longer wants to sit on my lap :( she has to sit by herself now.

19 Week Bumpdate

Went in for my monthly appointment this morning. Baby girl is looking great! She measures average for 19.5 weeks and has all four chambers of her heart and everything else they look for around this time. It's so cool to watch the ultrasounds. They are so detailed!  I go back the end of next month and get to do the lovely sugar test, so it'll be an extra long appointment. I've been eating pretty healthily compared to last pregnancy and I'm not too worried about the test but hopefully it goes well. 

(In this picture I'm 19 weeks 4 days)
