How can it be 15 months already?!?!?

As of last Saturday, our little E has been with us for 15 months.  Boy how the time has flown.  We are trying to cherish every minute we get to live life with her, but boy some days are very, very hard.  I am ready for the terrible two's to be over and done with!

E is as happy as ever and is even more happy when she gets her way.  We have entered the world of temper tantrums and crabby bums when she doesn't get exactly what she wants and when she wants it.  What she wants usually involves being outside 24/7 and chewing on everything she can get her little hands on.

In the last 2 months, since my last post, not much has changed.  E weights a little more, is a little taller, and is getting more teeth.  She had pretty much all her 1st molars in by age 1, and now is working on all 4 canines at once it seems.  Once those finish we'll be ready for those 2nd molars and then we are done with baby teeth.  I can't wait!  Here are her 15mo stats:

Weight: 20lbs 12oz (43%)
Height: 31in (60%)
Head Cir: 18in (50%)

Life has been busy the last couple months and the last two weeks specifically.  E and I went on a trip to DC for a day, then we flew to Detroit to meet up with Grammies and Grandpa, and then we flew back to LA.  Then on Sunday I flew back out to DC for a week and came home to welcome my brother (C), his wife (V) and their daughter (A) to our house.  Good thing Grandma and A were able to get the house ready because CV&A had beat me there, even though they were driving down from Utah.  Then Grandpa flew in that night and even with Grandma and Grandpa staying in a hotel our house was bursting at the seams... In a very good way!

The girls, V and I got to go on a run in the morning, then to the beach on Saturday, and then off to Disneyland that night.  We were at Disneyland for two wonderful days.  It was lots of fun to spend at the park and with family.  It was sad to see CV&A leave for Utah on that final night, but we'll see them again for Thanksgiving, so it was even sadder to say goodbye to Grammies and Grandpa on Tuesday morning.  Tuesday we went home and tried to get settled back in.  Everybody took naps and then it was off to E's Pedi appointment.  She got two vaccine shots (DTAP & MMR) and her Flu shot, so three total, but so far other than some slight swelling in her leg, she seems to be doing just fine.

Here are some pictures:
This is one of my favorites

Our trip to the beach with Grammies, A, and E... It was the first time she loved and wanted to go in the water.



Saturday morning run for the mommies and carriage ride for the princesses and their doggies

E loved the splash park in Bugs Land (Part of CA Adventure)

What better ride than Grandpas shoulders in Fantasyland

E loved the ride cars and wanted to keep sitting with Grandpa on the Mr. Toads Wild Ride car.

Sitting on the horsey on the carousel all by her self

Hitching a ride in A's stroller... E was jealous of her cool steering wheel and gear shifter

E picked out her own pumpkin this year

To commemorate the event the Space Shuttle flew over LA a bunch of times before landing at LAX for the last time.  It is to be part of the LA Science Center.  We can't wait to go once it opens up.

More pictures to come once I get copies of all the good pictures V and Grammies took.  They are much better photographers than I so I left the good photo taking to them. :)
