Elsa as a 15 Month Old
She is decisive and wants to follow the idea she had, not a suggestion you want.
She is easily brought to giggles and years by her brother.
She likes to carry small bags around and place objects inside. Her favorite are white paper produce bags. They are large enough for 10 blocks to be carried trough the house.
She prefers to sleep in our room in the pack n play, but we move her at 9 pm to her crib.
She often wakes at 530, has breakfast on the couch with her dad- lucky charms cereal- and watches the news. Then he changes her diaper, gives her a bottle, and puts her down for a lap until 8 am.
She really likes crowds of children, like at library story time. T makes her very excited.
She is not afraid of the swimming pool but only wants to stay for half an hour because she gets cold.
She does not seem to prefer any type of tv and doesn't really watch it.
She seems to like pop music as well as children's music. She bibs her head, waves her hands, and claps.
She likes to be read to now and will drag a book into our lap. She likes books with cats, and this book called Me and My Meow might be her favorite over Pat the Bunny.
She is not a very picky eater, bit he will stick her tongue out and refuse something if she doesn't want it.
When she wakes up from her nap, she talks to an plays with a few dolls in her crib. One is her favorite and it is a small cabbage patch baby doll dressed as a lamb. She gives it to us to hug and kiss.
She has started to ask is for goldfish cracker snacks when she is hungry.
She is more adorable and precious to me as the days go by.

Swimming Pool Full of Blocks.
Elsa spent the morning playing on the patio with her dad while I shopped with her brother. We brought home these blocks and she helped wash them in her wading pool.

Reminding us to pray!
Tonight at dinner, Dan sat down to eat.
Elsa clapped her hands and got his attention saying, "A! A!"
Then she made praying hands.
She certainly knows the procedure for meals around here!
After praying, usually we say, "Yay God! Yay Elsa for praying!!"
Today she cheered and said "A!! A!!" on her own.
