15 months

Elias had his15 month appointment yesterday. He's a moose. 98th percentile for length at 33 1/4" and 75th for weight at 24.6 pounds. All in all he's doing well. The doctor said they want 5 - 10 words at 18 months, so hens right on track. Apparently Haidyn was quite advanced with her speech. And my doctor told me to stop comparing the two. :)

Trouble!

Now that the flu is mostly behind us, I can get caught up on my posts. Yes, that's right, the flu made its rounds through our house. At least this year it was a little early and not starting on Christmas Eve.

So to get back to my title of trouble... It's all Eli. He has found out that he can push a dining room chair any where he wants and climb up and reach things he shouldn't. He's quite proud of himself.

Cookies!

Haidyn had some of her friends come over and bake and decorate cookies on Saturday. They allhad a good time! They did have to take a few play breaks throughout the day, which was good for me because I was able to to a quick cleanup. :)

They all loved Haidyn's gingerbread house, so they decided that's what they'll do next year. :)

Snowflake

Our elf on a shelf, Snowflake, has made an appearance and after sneaking out each night after we're all in bed to go see Santa, she comes back and hides in a new spot. Haidyn has a lot of fun looking for her each morning.

Gingerbread house

What a fun project we did today! We made our first ever gingerbread house! Now anyone that knows me even remotely will know that I bought a kit and didn't actually bake my own gingerbread house, but we did put it together and decorate ourselves. Haidyn is currently eating the sprinkled snow. I don't know if the house is going to last until daddy gets home from work.

Tree lighting

Elgin had their annual tree lighting ceremony Saturday night. Santa made a visit and just as cool a that was, we got to see two of his reindeer, Comet and Cupid.

Christmas tree

We went to cut down our own Christmas tree this year. Both kids, and mommy and daddy had a good time! Even Santa was there too!
