Alena and Nora worked for hours during the 2016 and 2017 winters to build this stick fort in the Bever Park woods behind our house, gathering only fallen branches for its construction.
Here it is from earlier in the winter.

Edith's 15 month stats
Edith went to see the doctor this morning. We had skipped her 12 month check up because I was tired of going to the doctor and wanted to delay her immunizations anyway. She is up to 30 inches (27%), 18 lbs, 12 oz (15%), with a big 47 cm head (82%!) She hadn't been to the doctor since the beginning of November, and everyone who recognized her at the office was so happy that she was looking so good!
Edith is an expert climber. She goes up and down the stairs all day.
We don't think she has said a real first word yet. She sounds like she will say "shoe" when she picks up a shoe and "book" when she gets a book. She loves both of those things. She will carry her shoes and coat all over the house. The bookshelves are immediately cleared of books when she enters the room. Her favorite book is "Baby Reads" and she will pick it out of a pile to look at. The only time she will sit still is when she is looking at her books.
Most nights she is now sleeping from 7:30pm to 7:30am. She just went down to 1 nap a day from noon-3 if we are lucky. While Ben and I were on vacation, she started eating solid food. Grandpa Ed fed her a banana and pizza. Now bananas are her favorite food. She also likes blueberries and crackers, and she still loves carrot soup.

Pinewood Derby
This was Nora's first year for the Pinewood Derby. Daddy was out of town during the race but he helped the girls complete their cars ahead of time. Alena and her car "Dot's Amazing" came home with a 3rd place trophy, beating 4th place Nora by only hundredths of a second. Nora walked away with most colorful car. Its name: Silly Car. Tillie and Lucie also were in the big race. Edith roamed the gym, carrying around her coat and trying to get into mischief.

Edie SMASH!
One of Edith's favorite games at the moment is what Daddy calls, "Edie SMASH". A tower is built out of the Magna Tiles and we holler "Edie smash", and she runs over and crashes into it, and then repeat. Sometimes she gets a little eager and after setting up 3 tiles, she'll smash those as you build.
