Don't you just love the Holidays! I can't believe we're officially in the Christmas baking and shopping season and the big day is only a few weeks away. I'm so excited for this year's events to experience it with Ella (she should understand more this year, and maybe even be able to open a gift by herself!) I'm hoping to catch a few pictures this week of her curious self checking out our Christmas Tree. BUT, she's clever. She waits....waits until I'm maybe moving the car, or grabbing the mail or changing the laundry....when she knows that I'm not watching...then I'll catch her in the act! She's growing up so much! She'll be 18 months old on Thursday (sigh!) We have the 18 month dr. appointment on Friday, so I'll be sure to update her latest progress report. She's becoming quite the chatty Cathy. I love it. Sunday she helped us cheer on the Vikings....Her phrase "go 'king go" Did I mention she's teething? Yeah, it's been a fun runny poop filled week. Started last Tuesday with a record 8 poop diapers. Seriously, should have invested in Pampers when I had the chance! Anyway, the height of the madness was Wednesday and Thanksgiving Thursday last week. Every word "mom" "mom" and then she'd hang on my leg - wouldn't want anyone else to hold her - I couldn't leave the room without her having a melt down. Made for a few of my own melt downs, but we survived. And I still can't find any new teeth in the precious little mouth of hers!! Gotta be popping through soon!
