Ella Kate 18 months

I seriously can't believe that EK is already 18 months old!  This second year has really been flying by and she has changed so much in just the past 6 month.  She amazes me every day.

So EK what have you been up to? (please ignore the horrible quality of pictures... IPhone had the most recent pics)

 

You wear size 2T clothes - moving in to 3T especially for tops and size 5 shoes

You are around 33 inches tall and wear about 26 1/2 pounds (you have definitely grown since 15 months but haven't gained any weight)

You are in a size 5 diaper 

 

You are super talkative and seem to learn a new word everyday!  Some of your words right now are Momma, Daddy, Buddy, Ball, Hi, Bye, Shoes, Butt (for Buttons), Cheese, Up, Cup, and many more but these you say ALL THE TIME.

You love animals and get really excited when you are near any - well except for Buddy, you are kind of indifferent to him now.

You love to eat - well that hasn't changed since day 1!  You love cheese, bread of any sort, strawberries, bananas, yogurt, eggs, and so much more.  You have definitely become a little pickier as you grow older but we are trying to put an end to that.

You are starting to interact more with your little friends both at school and at church.  If we say we are going to go to church or school you get excited and yell at us to Go Go Go!

We bought you some flashcards recently and if I say lets do your cards you sit down on the ground and wait for me to pull them out.  You love to find the card for the words I say and you get better at them everytime we do them.

You are still an amazing sleeper both at night and for naps.  You sleep from 7:30 until we get you up for school and sometimes 8:45 or 9 on the weekends.

You are a much better traveler than you used to be.  You will just sit in your seat and watch show after show until you decide its time for a nap.  You love Backyardigans, The Fresh Beat Band, and Yo Gabba Gabba.  If the show has singing and dancing you are all for it!

We love you little monkey and can't wait to see what these next 6 months have in store for us!
