Five on Friday

Life is back to "normal" now that we are back in Milwaukee, so my Friday posts have returned with it!  Back to your usual scheduled post:

1- Elise had her 18 month check up last week (only 2 months late!) and is in the 50th percentile for both height and weight.  When she got her second round of her Hep B shot she winced a little bit and that was the end of it. What a tough girl!

2- Speaking of Elise, she is learning and talking SO much!  Here are some of her new words she uses a lot- Zack or Zacky, Thank you, Please, frog, monkey, and she has also learned to say lots of our cute neighbor friends names.  She also has a new favorite movie, "Barbie: Princess and the Pauper".  I guess of all the Barbie movies it is the best and the singing/songs in it are actually pretty good. 

One of Elise's favorite songs from Princess and the Pauper.

3- The other night all of our neighbors in the cul de sac had an impromptu party and visited out in the yard for about an hour!  It was so fun- definitlely re confirmed why moving her was the best idea ever!

4- We tried out the restaurant chain Qdoba this past week and although it is no Cafe Rio, we really enjoyed it.  Very similar to Chipotle; a huge 1 lb burrito! Yum!

5- We have a very exciting thing to share/show you BUT you'll have to wait until Monday to hear more about that.  And before you jump to conclusions, no it is NOT a baby.  But please stay tuned, Zack and I are pretty stoked about it :)

And since no blog post should be without pictures, here are some of Elise playing with her friend at the park this week:
Chasing each other!
Playing with sand in the volleyball court!

Elise loves her littles Radio Flyer trike!
Here's to a great weekend!
