19th months have gone by and we finally took Elycia in for her 18 month check up not to long ago and she was at 24 pounds and I don't remember how many inches but she is a tall girl for sure!!
Over the past few months I've been so bad at remembering what she's been doing lately must be from all the moving we did and just lots of stuff been going on and she's just learning so much every day...this past month she has learned a lot more words, some holiday words, like pumpkin, leaves...we celebrated her 2nd Halloween, she was dressed up as a dragon, Gil said she was "Stuffy" the dragon from Doc McStuffins, she almost looked like him...Lol...I took her to downtown Fort Collins with a friend and 2 of her kids trick or treating, then we took her later in the afternoon here in little Wellington on the main street the businesses were handing out candy.. She even opened one of her tootsie pops and started eating it and making a big sticky mess...We went to a pumpkin patch and took some fall photos of her and then carved some pumpkins... She's gotten more and more of a personality, she's definitely becoming her own individual...she's learned how to say OK, She points to people in the stores when we go somewhere and she says NO to them, especially if they are picking something off a shelf...Ha ha...She knows how to say just about everything except, she doesn't say Momma. :-( she LOVES her silly songs, and loves to spin and dance to them and just spin randomly.. she says lots of names, just a talking machine.. still loves the song LET IT GO!! Every time she sees something to do with Frozen she always points and yells LET IT GO!! lol
Gil got another job, so he finished up his overnight shift at Budweiser, now he's working with a non-profit company called Foothills Gateway. They do residential and day programs for children and adults with autism and all types of physical and mental disabilities. I think he is liking it, he said there is a lot to learn but at least it is something that could help him towards his degree.

18 months
18 months here we are!! We now have a year and a half year old! How did that happen?!? And so quickly too. We are and have been so blessed by her over this past year in a half and we just can't imagine life without her.
Over the past month we took a short trip to Wisconsin for my stepdads 50th birthday party it was fun seeing family and friends we hadn't seen in years too and for them to meet Gil and Elycia was nice too. Sometimes being away from family and just living our life is...I don't wanna say "fun"...but it's kinda nice sometimes, other times it stinks being far away and not having anyone to hang out with and do things with. We flew back with Chelsea and Luke and on the way back we spent sometime at the Mall if America before we left. Chelsea and Luke left the next day apparently she booked her flight wrong and they wouldn't let them fly stand by. Elycia wasn't a happy camper on the way back, probably from being tired and staying in one spot its hard for an on the go go go go baby. Elycia got her first real "owie" at the park my poor baby, she is learning new words everyday she says high chair, chair, crackers, drink, and even pumpkin!! She loves to spin around and around in circles and dance she loves her silly songs cd we have, she even tries singing and dancing to it. We have a cd of Bible songs and she loves that too we play it in the car and she claps and tries singing to that one too. She is getting more and more of a sassy personality every day. Still climbing up everything. Loves to be outside. She got sick maybe from some food she ate but we're not sure, but we had a night where she threw up and a day she threw up a couple times. We started going to a Moms group in Wellington here and I'm trying the MoPs group in Fort Collins again.
Gil is still working his overnight job and it's getting to him. I hate it too, I would rather him be gone during the day then at night. I like him to be home and we can have some us time while Elycia is sleeping we don't get that now that he's working nights and sleeping until the afternoon. He is still looking for a day shift job that would work with his school schedule.

17 months
Wow! We are at 17 months already! 1 more month and we have a 1 an'a'half year old... when did that happen? Going by so stinking fast but we're enjoying every moment. Its been fun and is starting to get more and more fun but harder for sure.
Over the past month we've finally got her room all done and ready for her. I just love it!! She has been talking more and more... she says uh-huh, it's the cutest thing ever. She says bless you when someone sneezes, we would tell her excuse you when she burped or tooted and she then caught on and would look at is and say excuse you when she would do those those things so we decide if she does that in public people are gonna think it was us. Lol... so we have been trying to teach her excuse me instead... She's been going to bed and nap time by herself, we pray with her, tell her love you and good night and Gil tries singing to her sometimes and she tells him night night so he lays her down and tells her love you and she says I love you and night-night... It's so stinking cute! She knows how to open our doors, even the hardest one in the bathroom down stairs she figured out. She tries to unlock our cabinets under the sink. She's learning how to throw a ball and catch it. Learning animals, and colors, etc. She says pizza, but she says eizza, she knows eyes, ears, nose and says them when she points to them. We got her a little baby umbrella stroller and she LOVES it.. she pushes her baby in there for a little bit, but then she takes the baby out and she stands up in there and then sits. She thinks it's for her. She's been a stinker these last couple weeks with bed time and whinning and not going to bed so good, or sleeping really good either, might be her teeth coming in again... She says cookies and "Oh Toodles" when they say it on Mickey Mouse, she can say Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. She says Flowers, and she loves water puddles. She will grab us our shoes and her shoes when we go somewhere. Trying to climb up everything she is becoming quite the little monkey, she loves to try and climb up on the chairs while they are tucked in and hide under the table. She learned how to take her shirts off and sometimes she tries her pants and diaper, we've went into her room in the morning a couple times to find her topless and ready for breakfast. She loves drinking from her water bottles. She learned how to walk backwards, started dipping her food in sauces. She says non't instead if don't, I guess it's her combination of the words "no" and "don't". Like always everything she does is so stinking cute!!
Gil started his new job as the security guard at the busweiser plant. He is working overnight 10pm-6am so that he can do school this semester, he is taking a math class and a music class. I think I know which one will be his favorite...
