14 months

A coworker brought in her 18-month old daughter who is probably the same height as Eliza but resembled a miniature girl. Eliza still looks like a baby, a giant baby that walks. I know Eliza could have taken her in a fight. Eliza even tackled a 7-year-old boy at Disneyland yesterday who was wearing a Nemo hat. The tackle is one of Eliza's characteristic moves often sending Addie flat out on the floor with her sister landing on top of her.

Nevertheless Eliza is learning to be gentle and is a big cuddle bug. She goes nutto for dogs and every time she sees one she points and says "dug, dug!" She powered through an extremely long day at Disneyland and fell asleep on my shoulder after the second water slide in Pirates of the Caribbean. It was fun to watch her eyes get huge during the rides. She loved the Jungle Cruise the best and had her mind blown in Haunted Mansion. Addie was a totally delightful Disneyland companion not once complaining about the lines and also quite brave going on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad twice and Splash Mountain for the first time. If you saw my facebook post you'll know which one of us had their eyes shut! (Speaking of Facebook, The Social Network is one the best movies I've seen in ages.)

Happy 14 month Birthday Eliza. You sure are turning into a fun little girl.
