Her milestones to date include:
-She is an amazing dancer and can be seen grooving away, arms swaying back and forth in the air. It is hilarious and she totally came up with those moves all on her own. She also enjoys doing this fun horse trot, jump thing throughout the house. I tell you she is a blast to have around!
-She is the best little Mommy to all her babies. She has three that are her favorites. She prefers the real looking dolls as opposed to the stuffed. She must have them in the proper baby carriers at all times (either a stroller or her baby car seat). She knows how to put them to sleep and rocks them and gives them food.
-She loves playing with her brother and sister and is the best playmate for each. Evan loves chasing and wrestling her and Evie enjoys playing house, kitchen and babies with her.
-Ultimately, she wants to do everything Evan and Evie do and if she can't figure out how to it at first, she will try until she can.
-She does not like sitting in a highchair at dinner, but would rather sit in a big person's chair or with Mommy. If she does sit in a highchair it becomes a climbing toy. However, one of her favorite pastimes is still connecting the buckles.
-She is a pretty good eater, but just like her sister loves all thinks sweet and can very clearly say, ice cream, chocolate, candy, and cookie.
-She enjoys singing and can be found reciting, "A, B,C, D, E, F, G know my ABC." It is the cutest thing! Evie takes credit for teaching her this song because anytime she would get upset Evie would always use this song as her go to song, in order to comfort her and help her not to cry.
-She loves to laugh, be ticked, play peek a boo, and give cuddles.
-She is a good sleeper; takes a nice afternoon nap and goes to bed with the big kids. In the morning she usually has to be woken up right before we take Evan to school.
-She loves the bath and playing with water. Her favorite things are to pour water into different cups and to have a washcloth.
-She is talking all the time and can say most words if asked. Some of the cute phrases we hear daily are,"Thank you Mommy," "Okay Mommy," "More Please," and she can be found saying Evie and Evan several times throughout the day too.
-She is an outside girl! Elaine could probably be outside all day and would not care. She putts around with her siblings collecting rocks, playing on the slide, climbing, swinging on her tummy, swinging on her baby swing, going in our new playhouse we made out of a box, you name it she loves the out doors!
-She prayers with us at night and can be found folding her hands and bowing. She will even say Amen.
I could probably keep going on about all the wonderful amazing things this little girl can do, but these are the main highlights I will feature. All you really need to know about our beautiful daughter is we can't love her any more than we already do. She is a true treasure and such an amazing, one of a kind gift from God! Love you forever and always Elaine Grace!!! Happy 18 months!!!!
