Ahhh Eloise...where do I start? You know how they say the 3rd child will be mellow and go with the flow? Well, Eloise did NOT get that memo. I would even go as far as to say that she is our most demanding child, and anyone who knows our children knows that is saying a lot!!!
She makes this "ah ah ah" sound incessantly. I mean, All. Day. Long. It gets a little tough to deal with. And she only wants me. Unless Mamie is around--then she only wants Mamie haha.
She just started sleeping through the night about a month ago, but that isn't even consistent...sometimes she still wakes up for her paci or for Jon to rock her :). She is still taking 2 naps, but I'm starting to the process to move her to 1. We have been keeping her up a little bit later (7:15-7:30pm), and so she has been sleeping until around 8am...that makes mommy VERY happy!!! :)
She weighs 20lbs 4oz, and is 28" long...I think the doctor said she was in 10th percentile for height and 20th for weight? Or something like that :) Just for comparison, Henry was 20lbs 9oz and 29.5" at 15 months...Charlotte was much smaller haha.
She is a good eater, her favorites are blueberries...she would eat them morning, noon & night if I let her! But she eats most other things, too. If she doesn't want something, she lets us know by throwing it on the floor--not subtle, that Eloise!
She is allergic to eggs (per the allergist), but I'm fairly certain she's allergic to pears as well...it makes me a bit nervous to introduce new foods with her :(. She also still has eczema/skin issues, so I don't really know what's going on...ugh.
She just stopped bottles recently, but she was only having them in the morning and before bed, and truthfully she didn't really care about them at all. So one day we just quit cold turkey, and she never skipped a beat. She also transitioned to whole milk, and seems to like it.
Speaking of cold turkey, I was started to wean her off of her reflux medicine a few weeks ago. But then when my mom was in the hospital, everyone kept forgetting to give it to her, so she was pretty much weaned haha. She seems fine, though.
She loves her brother and sister, and they adore her. She wants to do all of the big kid stuff, and loves running around with them and making them laugh.
She has recently started having temper tantrums, which are quite hysterical...we all have a very hard time keeping a straight face. She gets SOOO upset, and it is over the most ridiculous things. Charlotte said today, "wow, you're being a little dramatic, huh?" Haha.
She loves being outside, doesn't care for the pool so far (hoping that will change), loves taking baths, hates being changed, and is a silly goose. She gives good hugs, refuses to give any kisses, rocks her babies, and loves playing hide & seek. She is OBSESSED with her paci, makes "ssss" sounds when you ask what a snake says, says "mama" and "dada", and sometimes will nod her head yes or no.
She certainly makes some days very trying, but we love our Eloise and couldn't imagine life without her. It's a good thing she is so cute...haha, I kid I kid.
Here are some pictures of "boo boo", as Charlotte and Henry have started calling her (no idea why)! ;)
That's all for now! Happy 15 months baby girl :)
Xoxoxo
