18 months

18 months is a big milestone to me...it seems like when they hit that point they really aren't babies anymore. They communicate more, are more independent, and really have their own personalities. Ella turned 18 months on the 29th...it is hard to see our last baby growing up and losing her baby-ness but it is also exciting to have older kids. We are really able to go out and do more as a family without having to worry about a baby. I feel like it is a new chapter in our lives.

I was going through my pictures and looking at the other kids when they were 18 months old...
