Miller Time: 18 Months Old!!!

Sweet Pea E is already 18 months old!!! Our little lady has been learning so many new words over the past month. My favorite thing she says is "pretty". It just comes out so cute! Jay likes when she says "go, go". She also says "bless you" when we sneeze which is adorable. She has given names to her grandparents (Ama, Bapa, Nana, Papa), Auntie Kon (Ahnee), and Uncle Ryan (Nanu) over the past few weeks. We counted up all the words she says regularly and came up with between 50-60!

She has been enjoying looking out the front window and door of the new house at all the dogs in the new neighborhood...she absolutely loves dogs! She gets so excited whenever she sees or hears one. She met the dog across the street the day after we moved in and absolutely loved her. She also likes digging in the backyard with her little plastic garden set! Jay put her Cozy Coupe together after we moved it over here so she has been enjoying rides in that. Basically a walk with her becomes a puppy hunt, because she wants to go inspect every dog we pass!

Digging :)

The Cozy Coupe!

We celebrated her half birthday with some chocolate cake, which Ellison loved! We didn't get her a present this year but I have an idea for a belated half birthday gift for her...a crib for her beloved "babies". She really loves her dolls!

We had 18 month pictures taken by Krystal which we will post as soon as we have them. Wasn't her most cooperative photo shoot - she is a very wiggly, active toddler and not super interested in posing for pictures. She is still getting two teeth in (14 total teeth!) and has had a runny nose for quite awhile, so we were constantly wiping that. Luckily Krystal is amazing so I'm sure she will get some great pictures despite the struggles we had getting E to smile!

Ells finally perked up when we let her throw rocks in the water!

Ellison's 18 month doctor visit isn't until August 26. She will finally break the 20 pound mark this time! She is a tiny little thing and is still wearing 12 month pants and onesies (since last winter). She wears 18 month shirts, so it is hard to buy her outfits/pajama sets because 18 month pants literally fall off her little bottom. I have quite a lot of 18 month summer stuff that we didn't even take tags off. Maybe next summer?! I'm guessing the winter coat and snow pants we bought her on clearance last year won't fit her this year (24 month)...our little peanut!!!

Other than that we are just working on getting settled in the new house. Our garage is completely packed with boxes and miscellaneous objects. We haven't found Ellison's favorite movies that she watched constantly, which has been a struggle since we have no cable until next week! Jay did buy an antenna so we wouldn't miss the Packer game over the weekend, so at least we have PBS now.

Here's some pictures from before the move and moving day:
