18 months



Today Ellena turned 18 months old! Pops made the keen observation that his little girl does NOT like to be told what to do... that does not bode well for us down the road! She has her opinions about EVERYTHING - from what shoes she insists on wearing that day (usually her jellies) to whether or not she lets me do her hair. She continues to adore her big brother and learns things from him, both good and bad. In the last couple weeks, she has started coveting any toy that Evan is playing with by trying to take it away from him and shouting, "MINE! MINE! MINE!"



Here she is drinking from a regular cup. Since Evan drinks from these cups and not a straw cup, she decided she needs to do so as well. Baby girl is definitely growing up.

Faux Hawk = OOC



Evan's faux hawk is getting a little out of control. It's super long on top and won't stand straight up on its own any more. This morning, Poppa was working the gel and I was using the hair dryer, all in an effort to gel up the hawk.

Turtles







On our last visit to the beach, we had an amazing treat - sea turtles were out!

Check out Ellena's face in the last picture - seen one turtle, seen 'em all... ho hum...
