The Beard Babies: 18 Months

We celebrated eighteen months today by getting together with my college roommate, Abby and her kiddos. The Monkey's Treehouse was a great place to take everyone. They had slides for the older ones and a padded play area for littles. The girls loved riding in the cars and playing in the make believe kitchen and house area. They also loved the slides. They cried when it was time to leave. It was so fun watching our children play and interact.

Dear Elizabeth,

I never knew eighteen months could go so quickly! I love you so much, sweetie. You love to kiss everyone right on the lips and say, "Bye" in this deep funny voice. You still like to walk on your knees best, but you will walk by yourself now. You shake your head and say, "Tsss," when you think something is funny. You love graham crackers with peanut butter and bananas. You love to play with jewelry and are obsessed with phones! When you want more of something, you holler, "Moooouuu". It's so funny to watch you play with your Tags dog and your lovie. You are so imaginative and sweet as a peach! We love you, Elizabug! Happy 18 Months!

Dear Mary Charlotte,

You are Mommy's little helper. You love to help me put things away and you love it when we brag on you. You love music and for books to be read to you. Strawberries are your favorite and you also like Gerber Crunchies. You give your sister her lovie and pat her when she's sad. You never miss any details of the day including where the remote controls are, where baba is and when Mommy is holding sissy. You love to say Bible and spot it as well. When you laugh it's all the way from your toes. These past eighteen months, you've been our little baby peanut! You will always be our little baby! We love you sweet girl. Happy 18 months!

Warning, these pictures are not our best! Daddy wasn't here to help with making faces behind the camera, our hundred year old chalkboard broke mid-picture, and it was almost naptime. What can I say, we are living the real life?!
