Nineteen

Elsa is growing up too fast!
Her favorite songs now are "I Am a Child of God", "Ring Around the Rosie", "Popcorn Popping" and "Skinnamarink". She loves to jump! Probably one of the cutest things a toddler can learn! She loves to get her finger nails and toe nails painted and is now an every Monday activity. She does a very good job at sitting still and being patient during the clipping part. She still loves to play outside and even more when her friend Caleb from next door comes out to play. I have no idea what I'm going to do when it gets too cold. She loves to watch the buses drive down our street and she has a good ear for planes. I don't hear them until she points them out and when we are inside she has to run to the window to catch them driving or flying by. Elsa has a pretty good chicken impression, flapping her elbows and bwaking. Elsa started going to nursery! She loves it! The only time she has a hard time is when there are bunch of other kids crying so she thinks she has to be crying also but once she's distracted she's fine! I love Elsa so much but is has been nice not having to chase her around during church! Elsa is quit the chatter box... most of these words are used daily:
baby, sleeping, cracker, car, bus, truck, plane, neck, arm, eyes, mouth, ears, honk, tongue, teeth, elbow, belly, knees, feet, back, bottom, whitney, ashley, dalin, duncan, hi buddy, food, movie, cereal, banana, cheese, milk, apple, bread, cookie, candy, cute, glasses, sit, outside, no, bubble, bath, cry, fork, melon, thank you, please, mommy, daddy, caleb, play, nap, stroller, beep, water, juice, ball, violet, douglas, pink, pretzel, pillow, jesus, popcorn, blanket, picture, hi guys, hello, bye bye, down, princess, sock, shoe, purse, swing, book, church, nursery, ashes ashes, up, keys, color, plum, lick, bite, night night, walk, teach, sink, diaper, stinky, wet, yuck, water, magnet, necklace, keys, again, more, chicken, icky, binky, eat, washy washy, dry, all done, HEMI (accompanied by some grunting), fly, jump, kick, down, mess... these are the ones I can think of at the moment and she'll copy anything you say whither she knows what it is or not.
(Blogging is my only form of journaling so whatever I want to document... you get to read! That's why you get the big list of words.)

 

I think she'll be pretty well rounded! Working out on the car getting her hands dirty... with her freshly painted finger nails! She loves to do anything daddy does!
 

Playing in daddy's shoes!


Playing with daddy!


Elsa's new thing is to lick the baby but he still gets plenty of kisses from her!

Not only does she love her stuffed animals and soft blankets... she loves her pillows! We got her a bigger one for her crib but still plays with this tiny one all the time! Her favorite thing to do is have her blankets laid out on the floor in the living room and get her pillow, violet and douglas and sit down. I never thought that entertainment could be that easy!

Me and my princess!

Elsa giving goodbye kisses to baby as baby and I head off to the General RS broadcast.
And this is what Daddy and Elsa did while we were gone...
Daddy treated Elsa to an ice cream from the ice cream truck that drives by every night.

Sleepy heads!

Brother and sister!
Elsa is such a big help with little Blake! She loves to get the baby's binky and blankets. She even wipes up his spit up!

Elsa has started to love hats and if daddy says its a hat... its a hat!

Summer has not wanted to leave. Daddy found a swing at the DI one day and has been the best $4 we've spent!
What the snow! Went from 90 degree weather to this practically over night.

Elsa LOVES the camera!! If see can reach it, its hers! We don't get pictures of just the floor now...

We love it when uncles come to play! This day we celebrated Evan's birthday.

Playing with Aunt and Uncles after the BYU game.

Elsa being silly!

This is my view every time I have to feed the baby... poor girl looks like so gets no attention.

Daddy's favorite story: Elsa was siting in her highchair eating, daddy was outside and walked by the the front window (you can see into the kitchen from the window) and started singing and doing the motions for the Skinnamarink song. When daddy got to the "you two boo boopedoop" part Elsa bobbled her head like she always does when singing along.

We love her in the morning and in the aftenoon, we love her in the evening and underneth the moon!
