Apparently Eli and I create above average little girls. At Elin's 2 month check up she was 23 1/2 inches long and weighed 13 lbs 1 oz, 95th percentile across the board. Except for her head, that was only in the 90th.
My mom made Elin's dress for her, which is why it was so beautiful : )
I was super excited for Halloween this year because I just knew Sophie would love it, and despite the look she has in every picture we took, she did love it. She wasn't too sure what to think of pumpkin carving, but thought it was way cool when we put the candles in. She loved her tiger costume (if you ask her, she was a kitty), and has already worn it to Walmart and out running errands twice. And more than anything she loved running around the neighborhood and getting candy from everyone. There were a few houses with "cary" (scary) decorations, so she made daddy carry her to the door so she could get more candy.
As I was standing on the porch talking to a friend, Sophie decided to go out and play in the rain. It wasn't raining that hard, so I didn't mind. I got caught up in the conversation and didn't pay attention to what she was doing until I heard her saying "Mmmm, rain." over and over again. She had found a cup and was drinking the "rain" from the gutter. She thought it was delicious and starting bawling when I took her cup away and told her it was yucky rain.
Elin Danielle Thornton was born on 9/29, just under 2 weeks early, and I'm SUPER happy about it! She weighed 9 lbs 2 oz, so I can't even imagine how big she'd be if she cooked any longer : ) One of my friends from high school went into labor early that morning, and since she was due 3 weeks AFTER me, I wasn't very happy about it. I spent the whole morning doing laundry, washing the floors, taking walks, and chasing Sophie, and still nothing happened. Later that night when Eli got home I started not feeling well, so went for another walk, ate some Arby's, did some squats, and went to the hospital hoping they'd just start me. Turns out, I was in labor, and she was born 2 hours later. *to clear up any confusion, not that anyone reads this, but just in case, her name is pronounced EE - Lin, not Ellen. and yes, we are aware that it's Tiger Woods ex-wifes name
