15 Months Old Today!!

She's a BIG girl now :) 15 months...wow!! She's a total sponge lately. Daddy taught her to growl when you ask her what a bear says. She says it every time you ask her!! It's so cute! This week we went down to my sister's for a couple days in NC, and she got to try out the pool. She goes under water now...and handles it like a champ!! Comes up out of the water with a BIG smile on her face. We got a lot of sun the few days we were down there...and her hair got a lot lighter. I think she really enjoyed playing with her cousins!!

Toy Story 3 comes out tomorrow...and we were tossing around the idea of taking her to see it. Well...let's be honest...WE really want to see it...and if we can get her to sit through the whole thing that would be great!! I might have to bring along a BIG bag of suckers to keep her busy :)

Anywhoo...Happy 15month Birthday to our little angel!!

So What's Been Going On...

Well...not much...but I sure feel like I'm busy all the time! We're getting ourselves into a nice little daily schedule. And I'm finally making daily time for myself. It's only taken 14 months to figure that one out :) For the past 3 weeks I've been marching us over to the gym almost everyday. For the past 2 weeks...it's been for a nice hour long workout...and a nice hour for Eleanor to play and socialize with other kiddos. I think she's doing pretty good adjusting. She gets kind of excited to go into the big room and play....and for the past few times I've went to pick her...she's in a great mood. Can't ask for anything better right?

This week I've also realized how much she watches me...and it's a little scary. She has a little bag she got her birthday gifts from Grammie C in...and she insists on putting on her arm all the time. Well this week while we were getting out of the car...she put that bag on her arm...and blew kisses to me and waved bye. IT.WAS.THE.CUTEST.THING.E.V.E.R! Just like how I do it....wow....really gotta start watching what I do around her huh? So glad that the first visible trait she picked up from me isn't a bad one...well....could be down the road...when she's obsessed with bags like I am :) Better start saving now Daddy!!

Memorial Day Weekend....and Roseola...

Well...it never fails. You plan a nice long weekend vacation to the beach...and your child gets sick. Ellie started running a fever the night we were supposed to leave for NC...102.7 to be exact. Thought it might be a high teething fever...since she ran that before. Ended up taking her to my sister's pediatrician on Friday since her temp kept creeping up. No infection...and CBC came back normal...so the only logical explanation was roseola. Darn it! Well...sure enough...she had it. Friday afternoon her temp got up to 104.6! Poor baby! At least we were in an oceanfront condo...with 7 pools to keep us happy. She did fairly well....up until our last full day in Myrtle Beach. She was MISERABLE! And to top it all off...those darn top canine teeth started bugging her again. When it rains it pours people! Oh well...what are you gonna do...you try to make the best of it :) She's doing much better...and yesterday the roseola rash appeared...and today...it's all over her little body. Her teeth are still trying to come through...so once they pop out...hopefully (fingers crossed) that should be it for a while. But who knows...you can't plan anything!! :) Thought you all would enjoy a cute picture of her from this weekend!
