Here is a video I took a little over a month ago...

Eating habits have been crazy. You would rather snack all day long instead of eating dinner. One night you woke up at 3 AM, asking for a snack. Ummm, no. I will see you in the morning.

You are starting to be a big girl, follow directions and want to help...

We signed you up for music class. I think you really like it. I just read another article of the benefits music can bring to your age group... I really can see why. I also did it just for us to have something to do while your Dad is at his study groups and some Mommy bonding time.

Elliott Annabelle, you love shoes. I feel like I have mentioned this in earlier posts but this fascination has grown into an obsession. You have more shoe than me!!

You had a blast putting jingle bells on your first tree in your bedroom...

You love to brush your teeth.

Thanksgiving weekend was a treat because we had our Boston family come in and spend some time with us. I can't really put into words the bond you and Devon already have. He is truly a great big cousin to look up to. We are already planning our trip up there after your brother is born.

For my birthday, I wanted to add a Mommy and Me session to your photo shoot. I cant wait to see more...

I love you to the moon and back baby girl.
