You're 18 months old now!!!! I can't even believe it, sweetie! You are so beautiful!!
You are growing into such a beautiful little lady! You make me so proud every single day! You are the best big sister ever and Ellie adores you! We love you, sweetheart!
You are so cute with Elysia, you are always trying to help her drink her formula, whenever you see her binky anywhere you run to give it to her! When you come around (as long as you haven't hurt her recently) she gives a huge smile and gets so excited to see you! You sometimes like to try to be a little bigger than you really are and you've pulled her out of the swing before because you're trying to pick her up like mommy does haha When you wake up from your naps, you immediately start looking for your little sister and it warms my heart how much you love her :) I was so nervous when I was pregnant that you might not like having another little person around. But, ever since the beginning, you have welcomed Ellie into our lives, you've been patient with me as I've had to feed her often and attend to her needs. You impress me so much!
You are inquisitive as ever. You have always been my curious, wild child! I love that about you :) It definitely keeps me on my toes but, you're so unique and wonderful and you make me see the world in a different way. You make the world so exciting and new to me :) You have always been, and seemingly will always be, unstoppable! My parents laugh because you're a lot like me, you're independent like crazy! The other day I took you and Ellie to a splash pad over in Riverton, it was awesome and fun! At the end, you were over at the water with Braylin and Mille just playing, next thing I know you're running to different families (a lot of people were around sitting on blankets) and you just sat on a lady's lap and started talking and playing with them! My gosh girl! After that, you went right up to another lady and took Cheetos right out of her bag! There was this little boy who was sitting on the grass with his head down..you went right up to him, crouched down to his level and just stared at him for a minute before I could drag you away haha I had quite a time packing up and getting things to the car with you running away every time I let go of your hand! Luckily, they all thought you were adorable and couldn't care less but, still, gotta somehow teach my one-year old "stranger "danger." That's what I get, I get a child who runs wild just like I did :P
You are beautiful! You will sometimes let me do your hair without a bunch of fuss either, which is nice! You are so friendly and happy all of the time. You are already speaking sentences! Your first sentence was "Hi mama" :) You can imagine that I loved that! You say "buh-bye now" and "hi dog!" You love watching Curious George, you get so excited when you hear the theme music and you start chattering like a monkey! :) The first song you started trying to sing along with is the theme music to Good Mythical Morning and I love that :) We watch that show almost every day of the week! It's our mealtime tradition!
Honestly, when I imagined how my children might be, I don't think I could have ever imagined how amazing you and Ellie would be!! You two are the light of my life and I want to make sure you know that every single day! I love you :)
Love, Mommy
