Better Late than Never!

Okay, I definitely jumped off the blog bandwagon and have fallen VERY behind! My last post was about Elle turning one and she is nearing 16 months in a couple of weeks, so very sorry for the delay. With all that has happened in our home, I thought it best to recap the last few months with highlights of all that has happened... I promise to keep it as brief as possible!

September:

A week after Elle turned one, she came down with a high, unexplainable fever. After three days, it broke and a beautiful rash took its place. That's when we discovered she had the lovely Roseloa virus! Other than that, our month was a fantastic one!

October:

We really took this month to enjoy our last remaining summer days. We loved to go to the parks, on walks, and blow bubbles. Elle also began to discover that not only could she walk on those legs of hers, but running became a new favorite. She also discovered that our cabinets needed to be cleaned out a couple of times a day. We officially switched to milk and table food, and found out some of her favorite foods are the following: olives!, kiwi, bananas, pomegranates, clementines, cheese, and pretty much everything else! Strangely she doesn't care for pasta like mac and cheese very much!

November:


This month flew by for us as it was a very busy one! The biggest event that occurred was my sister's wedding. Both Elle and I were in it, and were so honored to be big part of her day! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera in NC and the wedding was IL so I took no pictures! That part was a bummer, but those of you that know me probably aren't surprised I forgot it! It was a great time!

December:

This month Elle has officially become a toddler. Her vocabulary is expanding daily! She says so many words, like: "Elmo, mommy, daddy, ball, paci, bye, again, baby", and her favorite: "no, no, no". We were also very lucky to cut ALL 4 molars at about the same time, I'm not yet sure if that was a blessing or a curse! But I am proud to say that our little one can now crunch down on crackers a whole lot better, and mommy has to be much more careful when fishing things out of her mouth!

Christmas was a great to spend with our little family. We were able to stay home and enjoy the Holiday here! And although a day late, we woke up the next morning to 8 inches of snow on the ground, which was a rare treat for the south!

As always, Elle continues to light up our life! She is such a sweet little girl who is growing up way to fast! I'm trying harder and harder to cherish each moment as they seem to be slipping away faster and faster!

Here are couple of pictures from our snow fall, Elle, of course, had a blast playing! And I will try harder to be a better blogger in the future!
