Any names picked out? Still going with Delilah and Liam. Although my mom had a dream that we had a girl and named her Maive. The next day (without talking to my mom), my sister asked if we would consider the same name. Maybe it's a sign? I don't hate it, but not sure I like it as much as Delilah. Maybe for a mn.
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No nursery yet.
LO's age-She is officially 22 months old today. Only 2 months until her 2nd birthday...so much to do!
Best part of week-Cuddling her asleep this weekend. Daddy usually does bed time and then I only get her if she is being difficult but over the weekend I got to just do a nice easy bed time and it was so sweet.
Worst part of week-She keeps making messes with her foods and drinks because she wants to mix things and put them in different containers. Also, she has started crying when we leave places so she cried leaving MIL's Friday and my parents last night.
Milestones-She is getting really creative and imaginative. She has been getting really into imagination play and has started to take control over her pen.
Here is my kiddo with all her hair in a pony tail (what?!) And some cute little Oshkosh overalls we picked up at goodwill for $4

Best part of your week? Elle met her great grandpa for the first time on Saturday. Also, on Sunday, we hired a babysitter and went to the movies (saw Her; excellent movie, although very weird) and lunch. It was really nice to get out, but I missed her a ton while we were gone.
Worst part of your week? Elle got overstimulated on Saturday and we ended up having to leave because I could not get her to take a nap. As soon as she was in the car, she was out.
Milestones? More social smiles!
