-We have to bribe Els to get into the shopping cart now. (popcorn at Target and the rides at Walmart).

-Right before I start nursing her she says "mmm muck mama" & kisses me. (we were working on weening.. but how can I say no to that?? plus she got croup & all our progress went down the drain).

-Elsie takes her diaper off whenever she feels like it. -_-

-She loves to jump!

-She said "Where did it go?" & "Where is the other one" today for the first time. (Dec. 13)

-Every time we go to the mall Elsie thinks she gets a treat from See's Candies. 

-We got Elsie's Allergy lab back & were surprised to find out she was not only (moderately) allergic to peanuts but also dog dander and milk -_- (Dec. 23)

-Els is pretty much potty trained when it comes to peeing. She refuses to go poop on the potty (& i'm not going to force her) she insists that she needs her diaper for that & then hides... But she tells me every time she needs to go pee pee. (Dec. 27)

-Elsie told me "I not a bebe mama" because I said "come here baby" (Dec. 31)

-Words Els says that I don't want to forget: "moojsh" (move), "pgs" (pjs), "toes" (clothes), "harpah" (Harper), "utter" (other), When she says "shirt" it sounds like a four letter word that starts with S.. We laugh every time she says it... We are horrible! haha "tuming" (coming), "bebe bear" (baby Bella), "ronies" (macaroni and cheese), 

-New signs Elsie knows: cracker, hungry, thirsty, hot, horse, ice cream, bread, cheese, happy, cookie, & cereal. All together she knows about 40 (or more) signs in ASL now.

 

That's all for now!
