I wanted to give you a real horsey ride at the zoo today to celebrate your 18-months of life, but you did not want to get on Ranchero this morning. Maybe for your 2nd birthday you'll be ready. I'm glad you enjoyed feeding your goat and lama friends though. You also got the whole choo-choo to yourself! I can't believe I am the mother of an 18-month old. You are the sunshine of my life and I cherish dearly all the wonderful time you and I get to spend together. You are my best buddy, Miss Eloise and I love you, oh so much.
Some new things you are doing these days include starting to recognize letters and numbers. You know around 5 letters so far and when you see one you know, you make sure to shout it out! You are starting to form sentences; lately when ask a question such as, "Eloise, would you like to read a book?" you respond with, "Yeah! I do!" Today you also started repeating to me, "No, Ma'am!" while shaking your finger. Wonder where you picked that up from? You have very good manners most of the time, saying please and thank you. You love Elmo to death. And choo-choos. You love your choo-choos. You like to dance with the Yo Gabba Yabba friends, getting better at beat-boxing every day. An absolute joy to be around. You are so loved by all of us around you.
Here are some moments of our day to celebrate your 18-months...
