18 Months!!

Aaaaaah!!!

My sweet little angel baby has turned into a rambuctious, funny, ball of fire toddler!

And we are loving it :)

Elise is known around here for her funny faces. She never pulls a princess smile. Her facial expressions are always full of personality!

This one is her classic "Cheeeeeese" that I get whenever she sees a camera

Ellie is a Climber. She climbs on everything and can get to anything! Her favorite place to climb to is the freezer where she will snag a popsicle and beg me to open it. My favorite place she has climbed was into her dresser drawer...it was not where I expected to find her when I heard her yelling from her room :)

Cole Clone: El loves her big brother and does EVERYTHING Cole does, which is not always a good thing. Thanks to Cole Ellie loves trains and airplanes, can roar like a dinosaur, has mastered tantrums, loves to tickle, and gives the best hugs.

Ellie is a Daddy's Girl...especially when he lets her play with his Ipod :) This little girl has her daddy wrapped around her little finger and can get away with almost anything when he's in charge!

She may not act like a princess, but this girl loves her "Pretties".

She loves to show off her cute accessories and to hear people tell her she's pretty :)

Her favorite things are shoes, especially her cute rain boots.

At 18 months old Ellie is 33 in long (86 %ile) and 25.3 lbs (64 %ile)

Elise still loves to read (like her mommy) and will bring books to my lap, which I love.

She loves to rub Cole's head and give him kisses.

She is always making funny noises and then laughing at herself (just like her daddy and brother).

El constantly brings me her shoes and begs to go outside.

She is always moving, even in her high chair. She just can't sit still.

Ellie is great with sharing, but won't let anyone push her around and take her things.

She doesn't talk much yet, but she has her animal sounds down :)

Her favorite word is "uh-uh" which she sometimes says even when she wants something.

Elise is simply my smart, busy, funny, loud, loving, stubborn, sweet, sassy, tough, beautiful girl! Love you Ellie bug!!
