16 months old!



Elsie continues to grow like a weed. She is wearing size 12-18 month clothes these days, and her feet grew a whole size last month- she now wears a size 4.5 shoe! Her insides must be growing and maturing, too, because in the last month she has become a champ at digesting dairy and soy. She LOVES yogurt and cheese! She has been eating some gluten lately, too, and that also seems to be going well!

Communication

Signs Elsie does: milk, good-bye and hello, more, bath, sorry, please, all done, poop, food

Words Elsie says: Daddy (Dada), Mama, kitty, Grandma (Gamma), no, yes, shoe, Papa

Activities

Elsie's favorite activities continue to be swinging, sliding, and playing with toys that involve "putting things in other things." She also loves her stuffed animals, and is usually carrying at least one at all times. She is very interested in the potty chair, and likes to practice using it. She has even started changing her doll's diapers and "checking" her Mama's pants to see if they are wet (the same way I check her diaper). Too funny!

Watch Elsie Grow!

Good post Jo! Yeah she is getting big... tonight she learned to take the nipple out of her bottle. A new, very efficient way to empty the bottle.
