18 months/NYC

Elise had her 18 month check up this week. She is, as always, growing like a weed! She measured 34 1/4 inches and 27 lbs, putting her off the charts for height and in the 75-90% for weight. She is a big girl :). Her development has always been on the early side of the curve and where it really stands out right now is in her language. She has quite a vocabulary, and she is even saying three words in a row. We have a book about monkeys jumping on the bed. When we read it and I ask her what the doctor says to the monkeys, she says "No more monkeys!"

Wes and I had our first trip without Elise. He was headed to NYC for work, so I decided to go along for a few days. It was definitely easier traveling without Elise! Here are a few pictures from our trip and then Elise wearing her NYC shirt that Wes brought her.

Right before we left for our trip, Elise ended up in the ER. She had a very high temperature, and I couldn't get here to keep any fever reducer down. She had a fever for a few days, but is completely back to normal now. She had a great time spending time with her grandparents - one night with Grandmama and Papa T and two nights with Papa J and Nana.
