The Little Princess is 18 Months Old


...and what a wonderful 18 months is has been! We went to the doctor's office on Friday and here are her officical stats:

Weight: 24 lbs. 6 ounces (50th percentile)
Height: 33 inches (almost 90th percentile)

Ellia can still be found with her left thumb in her mouth at all times and usually that pink bear rattle blanket is not too far away either. She is currently a total Mama's girl. I was out of the house this weekend running errands by myself (a rare occasion) and Mark said that when they came into the empty house from the park she threw a fit because I wasn't home. She is a happy little girl who loves to be chased by her big sister and even swipes Bianca's blankets sometimes just to induce a chase. She appears to be a little more girly than Bianca even at this age as she often loads herself up with bracelets and necklaces without any help. She is currently chatting up a storm with some of her favorite words being, "bye-bye, ball, mama, dada, uh-oh, no, sit, shoe, baby, and bubble". She repeats quite a lot of what I say back to me without me even asking her to do so. Her pronunciation may not be the best but, she is working on it. Ellia is also still pretty obsessed with animals, especially cats. Her "Furr-Real" kitty cat is one of her favorite toys.
I can't wait to see what the next 18 months has in store for us all!
