The gender of baby #2, Elsa "spells" her name

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound. Of all the people who guessed, nobody thought it was a boy. Why not, I wonder? Well, you were all...correct! It's a girl! Elsa will have a little sister playmate. We think it's pretty cool. Elsa does too, but she doesn't know it yet. Everything looked good and we got some pics. Here's a profile:


Lately, whenever Elsa sees a word she tries to spell it out. If it's a 4 letter word, she assumes it's her name. KQRS billboard? Spells Elsa. SALE sign in the window? Spells Elsa (it actually does, if you flip the letters around). Today our 4-numbered address on the garage spelled Elsa. She can say all 4 letters of her name separately, but if she tries to spell it she'll only say 2 of them, and one is wrong. In this video she's busy chewing on something, but takes a break to humor me. Observe her typical answer:

You heard it here first: "E-O" spells Elsa. It's so cute, it almost makes me not want her to learn how to get it right.

Last week she went through a talking growth spurt. An explosion, if you will. A few of our new favorites: Avocado (Aggo-aggo), Uff Da, Mama read book.

Congratulations, Engmonster! Not sure if you know this, but I totally called it. Julie asked me a couple times and I said girl... PEACE!

I'm pretty sure i was 4 by the time i was able to spell and write my friggin long name.
you go, Elsa. 1/4 of the correct letters by age 1.5 is damn good, i think!

ps i totally called "Girl" as well. As with last time, I give permission for you to use the beautiful word "melinda" for the naming of offspring if you so choose. but if i were you, i'd go with less syllables... like "Melsa" : )
