Etsy Purchase
I’ve been a little crazy, mildly obsessed when it comes to Etsy. I could spend half the day looking at everything, I am partial to the children’s clothes and home decor, especially wall decals lately.
Here is the nola knot dress, from addisonava we ordered for Torah, thinking for Easter. I like it b/c she can easily wear this everyday as well, with her cute skinny jeans and chucks 
Hopefully the dress fits, we should get it in a few weeks, so I’ll post some pics and give you an update.
Trust me on this!
You gotta go check this out!
Lisa Leonard’s jewelry is amazing and she just put up a new website with new items. I get numerous comments on my necklace and can’t wait to add another one to my collection! I’m thinking the sweet and simple birdie necklace is my favorite right now. What is your favorite item in her store??
Day at the Park
Torah and I headed to a park here in town with a few other moms this morning. It was a gorgeous day! Torah had lots of fun and I didn’t have to help her as much as I used to! Which was so nice, but at the same time sad. Just means she is growing up, way too fast if you ask me! The pictures below are from Jenny, Daphne’s mom. They are adorable pictures, thanks so much for capturing them!
I think she looks SO grown up in this picture! I don’t know if it’s the big kid swing or her not smiling!
Racing down the slide with her friend Daphne
1 1/2, can you believe it!
I’m still in shock, I just can’t believe Torah is 1 1/2 already! We went for her wellness check on Monday and she did great. We have not had any shots from our new dr, so we weren’t for sure what to expect. Back in Illinois, they had 2 nurses doing the shots at the same time, which was great. They only had one nurse doing the shots at our new dr, and Torah had 4 shots! So, one at a time it was, it wasn’t that bad though. No screams for the first shot, we thought wow, tough girl…then the 2nd shot came and a little scream was let out. After the shots though, she was giving high fives and running to the car Her 18 month stats are: 25 lbs (60%) and 34 in (90%), right on track the dr said. I knew she had a growth spurt b/c her pants were getting shorter on her, which I think we’ll just make those into capris to make them last longer! I’ve got a few more stories, but Torah is sleeping and I’m exhausted and going to take a nap as well! More later, but here are a few pictures to get you by
Happy Friday
Look at all those teeth! She has 2 more coming through on the bottom!
We are off to get ready for family day Torah gets a special treat today for sleeping all night in her bed without fussing. She had got into the habit of waking up once or twice a night and us getting up with her, this week we let her cry it out on Monday and ever since she has slept all night without fussing! And she also went #2 in her potty chair this week! So we are off to find a special treat for her today! Have a great weekend

I will admit, I stole this from whittakerwoman. It’s just a fun little thing to do and see how accurate it is. Jacob and I both did this and it was interesting to see the different styles. Check out sproost.com
Torah lately
This is a little off subject, but the title made me think of it. Is anyone a fan of Chelsea Lately? I am a huge fan, the woman is HILARIOUS! Anyway, just a random little thought, if you are up at 10pm and have the E! channel, you can watch her show there.
Things Torah has been up to:
Talking all the time: most words I can understand, some I can’t. But I can tell what she is wanting, she definetley makes that known
She is somewhat of a drama queen, for example: We were at the Katy Mills Mall at the play area and a little boy came down the slide while she was going up the slide (now I know she shouldn’t be going up the slide, but it is a car with a slide on it with no stairs, no other way for her to get up there) Anyway, the boy knocked her down and as soon as she hit the ground she was fine, until I started to walk over to see if she was ok, she then threw her hands over her eyes and began to cry! DRAMA, we are in for a ride, I do believe
Not for sure her stats right now, we take her to the doctor at the end of the month. I know she has grown a ton, anxious to find out how tall she is
She loves to give hugs, kisses and high fives. I she gives me a high five, she has to give Jacob one as well, even if she has to walk all around the house to find him
We have turned a corner with nursery and my Mom to Mom bible study. For about 2 or 3 weeks we would get our number called during church to go get Torah. Since then we haven’t had to go get her, plus no tears while dropping her off or during nursery time. I can’t tell you how much of a relief it is that she stays in nursery and enjoys herself, it is nice to be able to sit through service with Jacob and actually enjoy it, instead of holding her and trying to keep her quiet
We got a potty chair for her this week, actually two. One that goes on the toilet and a stand alone potty seat. Not sure if I’m ready to commit 100% yet, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have her get used to the potty seats for awhile and slowly introduce it to her. She already helps flush and say bye bye to the toilet paper, so we’ll see how things go. If anyone has tips, please send them my way!
I’m sure there are other things I’m leaving out, but my mind is pretty much shutting down. If I think of anything else, I’ll do another post. I do have a video, surprise surprise. Torah loves to dance and I think the video shows, it also shows that different genres that Torah listens to This girl just loves ANY kind of music!
Happy Valentine’s Day
Opening her card
She actually enjoyed opening her present for Valentine’s Day! At Christmas she didn’t seem too interested in opening the presents, but in just a few months that all has changed!
She got Plex and Foofa for Valentine’s Day, this completes her Yo Gabba Gabba set. Here she is looking at all of her Yo Gabba Gabba friends
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
Torah and her stuffed friends
Torah has been playing with all of her stuffed friends a lot lately. I’ll be in our bedroom getting ready or cleaning and I can hear her talking with them! It is so cute to see her interact and see her imagination coming out. The other day she was pretending to change her babydoll’s diaper! Here are a few pictures of her with her friends and a video to go along with it.
