Her real name is Nellie Elizabeth, but somehow we started calling her Nellie Sue. We have Phia foo, Helena Lue, and Nellie Sue. It just seemed to fit. Plus I liked Nellie Sue, in honor of my late Aunt Sue! She is a special lady and I liked the idea of my Nellie, named after my Grandma DeVroom (Sue's Mother), being a name sake for both of them! I am not going to change it legally, but it may stick. Who knows!
She has gotten so big. She is so active and fun these days! She has a funny curl to her hair, gives her a nice Mohawk look most of the time. When her hair is wet it is curly, but when it drys it is just crazy!
See.. you can see the crazy hair a bit better in this picture!
She doesn't hold still for very long. She is up and on the move pretty quickly. She isn't walking yet, but can take a step or two. The most she has taken yet is 5 at one time.
She can do a few tricks: She can do La La La with her tongue, which she thinks is very funny. She can also smack her lips, which is always good for a laugh!
She can do sign language for more.
She can clap, wave hello or goodbye and do "so big" and put her hands above her head.
She can also fold her arms for the prayer (which is really cute!).
Last but not least, Helena really wanted to help Nellie have her pictures with the moose. You wouldn't believe how exciting it is! Such cute girls! They are 19 months apart, but so cute with each other. There is only 3 lbs between them and about 3 inches. They are great pals for each other!
Stats for Nellie:
She has 8 teeth. She is wearing size 9-12 month clothes, size 3 diapers, size 4 shoes (when she will keep them on), she weighs 21 lbs (46%) and is 29.75 inches (66%). Her head circumference is 47.5 cm (96%). Overall she is in the 48% for babies her age.
She isn't saying much. She doesn't say mama or dada yet. She says "no" and "Wow" really well.
