New Years 2015

Tonight is New Years Eve and I'm do ready this year for 2015.  Usually I am thinking about all the things I will do differently next year that I didn't do this year but today I'm feeling a bit nostalgic and very positive about where my life is.  I am so lucky and feel so blessed so my only wish for 2015 is for God to continue to bless me and my family.

I am grateful for a beautiful home filled with our beautiful family.  I am grateful for our gorgeous healthy crazy daughter who brings joy on a daily basis to so many people.  Most of all I am grateful for my husband who works his butt off every day to make sure I can live this life and so  our family can lean on us in their time of need.  He has the biggest heart of anyone I know and I hope 2015 brings some big things for him!  God knows he deserves it.

At 18 months they say your child should be able to say about 10 words and that they will try to repeat what you say but may only get out the last syllable or so.

Ellie says countless words way before she hit 18 months! She speaks both English and Albanian so I feel like that has helped her grasp language quicker.  Her brain has had to work harder from day one to understand what my parents say to her in Albanian and what we say when speaking English.  

Oh and she will choose to play with a box over its contents 9 times out of 10. Lol

Some of my favorite things she says are the things she mispronounces :). They absolutely melt my heart.

Poons (spoon)

Bakset (basket)

Anet (shndet- Albanian for bless you)

Tabbet (tablet)

And some words she used recently (correctly I might add) that surprised me are:

So, mommy, what's up?
