16 months and Half way through!

Elizabeth Grace is 16 months old and so much fun to be around! She is talking all of the time and LOVES to play with her friends. She still enjoys her food, and her belly is proof. We recently discovered that she is a chips and salsa girl; actually she prefers the salsa, sucking it off the chip and asking for more! Elizabeth's attention span is growing, so we spend many mornings and evenings before bed reading book after book after book. She has come to identify the letter "E" and will point it out whenever she sees it. She also is interested in learning her colors, but so far "yellow" is the only one she gets consistently. Thanks to Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Trey, ELMO has entered our world. Elizabeth's compassionate spirit is already showing; when Elmo is throwing his tickle fit, she picks him up to comfort him by rocking and patting him. She has finally overcome her distaste for things in her hair and on multiple occasions worn bows and pigtails (my personal favorite)!


All dressed up for Cousin Zach's wedding!

The Lemonade stand has been quite the hit!
I think she is talking to herself in the mirror of her sing and play stage.

Taco Salad- GOOD!


The "dress up" has begun! She just had to try on her new outfit...even if it was over her jammies! Complete with the WWJD lanyard!

Elizabeth's first trip to the stock show...
Her reaction, "Cow! Mooooo! Cow! Mooooo! Cow! Mooooo!"

Our little super star- between singing and dancing, she keeps us entertained!

In other news, I am 20 weeks along and half way through my pregnancy. My body has definitely gotten the memo, so my belly is growing at a quick pace- I will get a belly pic up shortly. I am feeling great and trying to get out for walks as much as the weather permits. My only problem has been some frustrating sinus pressure and headaches, for which I can't take the medicine I would normally. However, my new best friend has become my Neti Pot! If you have never heard of such a thing, you should definitely google it. It is quite a sight when I am using it, but it works like magic! I would HIGHLY recommend you try one out when feeling congested.

Ode to my Neti Pot!

Thomas loves the Neti Pot. His is more of a squirt bottle. I haven't been able to bring myself to do it, I'm still too gaggy... but I haven't really needed it yet either.

You should really post a belly pic soon. I need to console myself!
