Happy 1 1/2 birthday to Little!

Saturday, Little Pea turned 18 months old! What a big girl! She seems to grow up more every single day, and she just soaks in every little thing that we do or say to her. I don't know her stats, but she has definitely gotten taller. She eats so much, some days more than her pregnant momma! But oddly enough she isn't really gaining weight. It must all be going to her height.

One thing we've really learned in the past couple of weeks is how much she loves to dress up. It's so sweet to watch her. She asks to put on her Christmas dress several times a day and will just stand in the mirror and admire the pretty dress. She loves to put on her bracelets and carry around purses. Momma J and Daddy J were at the mall on her 18 month birthday, and they saw something that they just couldn't leave without. They bought her this sweet little Auburn dress, which she has worn almost every minute since. She put it on 3 times over the clothes she was already wearing on Saturday (we made her take it off for naps) and then wanted to put it on as soon as she woke up on Sunday. Here she is in her sweet little Auburn outfit. Thanks Daddy J for picking this out. She LOVES it!Also on Saturday, Frank decided to make a homemade apple pie. I have mentioned his cooking before, which is exceptionally tasty, and this was definitely right up on par with his other attempts. This was the first time he'd ever made apple pie, and he did it all from scratch, including the crust. I am not normally a fan of crust (I usually throw away the very top) but I ate every last bite of this and even had a second piece. He even did an egg wash on top and made holly and berries out of crust for the very top of the pie. Look at the height on this thing!Yum yum!
