Ellie

Ellie has also done a lot of growing up in the past few months. She is getting taller and has kept up with her cousin Ryker pretty well, it seems like they take turns being taller every time they see each other.She has become quite the chatterbox lately. Some of her favorite things to talk about are sounds animals make and counting, we can only get to 3, but she can point out 8 just about anywhere!! She also loves Disney and it's Princesses. We know quite a few, but currently Snow WHite is at the top of the list.

A few months ago I went through my teaching boxes and found some science books. Ellie latched right on to all the Solar System stuff. She can point out a few planets, knows the sun is really hot, and points out THE MOON every time we step outside!!She is also pretty technology savy and can do more things on the iTOUCH than I can. She loves Paper Toss and Doodle Buddy! IT also comes in handy on long car rides and when we are out to dinner:)

When we went to Disneyland last year my Mom reluctantly bought her a stuffed Lady, well, she has taken Lady on every trip since then and to many stores. They are inseparable and she loves her!! I am just glad that she is easy to wash:)She loves to be outside and enjoys walks and bike rides. She is pretty coordinated on her feet and loves jumping across the floor and having dance parties with her Dad. She is so fearless and isn't scared of heights in the least.
Ellie is growing into a good little helper and is a much better shopping partner than she used to be. She can have quite an attitude for a 2 year old and she definitely needs her sleep,but we will keep her anyway.
