Just when I think that I'm in love with one stage... you change and I fall in love all over again! You are doing so many new things everyday that I just want to jot a few down so that I never forget! A lot has happened over the past three months :)
You currently weigh 22lbs 5oz and are 32 inches tall!
You currently weigh 22lbs 5oz and are 32 inches tall!
Words you say: Mama, Dada, Papa, Teetee (Auntie), Dee (thats you or Lou), shoes, ball, bubbles (your version of it), love (signed), more/eat (signed), yeah!, bird, no, please, baby, bath
Words you understand: sit, go outside, get in the car, put your shoes on (or go find your shoes/socks), where is your belly? head?, do you wanna eat?, all done?, let's go take a bath, no ((you understand so much more everyday! Everyday I seem to look at your dada like 'did she really just understand that!?'. It is so much fun watching you BLOOM!))
You love to take baths, play with anything but toys (except your dollies), go outside, dig in the dirt and watch sesame street. You eat three big meals with lots of snacks in between..and NO MORE BOTTLES! (The transition was easier than I expected! We just offered you water one day in a bottle and you said 'no way!' and just cuddled up! We still rock you to sleep but thats because you're still my baby ;)) You love to eat chicken and any fruits/vegs! You really eat anything we put in front of you and don't turn your nose up to anything. You always prefer actual food over a dessert which really makes me wonder if you are my daughter ;)
Right now we are on summer break together and it is the BEST! We rotate playing outside, in the play room, upstairs, in the tv room and then we repeat! We eat lots of snacks, do lots of dancing, and make lots of plans with our family and friends! You started gymnastics and although its only been one week, I know you are going to love it! You are such an active little girl! You love to climb, dance, and be super silly! You have more energy than any other 15 month old I've ever seen but I truly love it! You keep me on my toes and you show me how to live a really fun life! You are a gift from the Lord, Eleanor Rose!
I realize this post is filled with an obnoxious amount of exclamation points but sweet girl, your presence in my life brings me so much joy! 15 months later and I still cannot stand to be away from you. I plan any personal activities (time with friends, mani/pedis, etc.) to always be as late as possible so I know you'll be asleep and I'm not missing a moment. When you go to bed, your Dad and I talk about you, look at pictures, and then I usually go to bed pretty early so I'm rested for another crazy fun day with you! There is an enormous amount of tragedy going on in our world right now, and each tragedy is another loud reminder to praise the Lord for your health and presence in my life. I love you more than words can explain.
Why I love summer with you :)

If we tried to do this at 15 months, it would have never happened! You are in the thick of a 'stranger danger' phase!
Beautiful Princess in her Easter dress!
You and your bff on Easter!
Mama went to Nashville to see Auntie Clare and brought you this cute shirt!
You adore your Teetee and Tuesdays with her and Lou!
Rocking your outfit before church
Sweaty at the Keroast!
I love these jammies on you!
This picture reminds me of how you LOVE to wake up the neighborhood in the mornings! Whether we are walking or playing in the yard, you yell as loud as you can and giggle because you know you shouldn't!
Your first gymnastics class with Bronson!
THOSE CURLS! (heart eyes emoji for days)
Why I love summer with you :)
Hot hot hot day at the farmers market in Grayslake!
Love you more than life, little mama.
