Dinner with Elyyyeeleelee

Ellie went silly crazy for avocado the other night at dinner. She couldn't get enough. We thought it was pretty funny how she was trying to lick the bowl clean. Good little eater. Maybe she doesn't have the best manners but she gets the job done.



Then for dessert she had some cut up popsicle and her very first Girl Scout cookie. We are developing her sweet tooth nicely.  

Ellie just started to say her name. She usually adds about 10 syllables and says it with lots of enthusiasm but the peas were a little distracting.

Monkey

I think we have already mentioned that Ellie is a climber. She is always putting that little foot on something and trying to get to the top. The other day she figured out 2 more fun climbing places in the house. I walked around the corner from the kitchen and this is what I found:


She sat up in the window for a long time like a cat. She loved pointing at all the airplanes. Ellie gave our neighbor a nice little "moon" as she walked by. I am sure that isn't something she sees everyday!

 
Then she was super excited to learn she could climb from the couch to the staircase. Don't worry MomMom...we are watching her closely. =) 

She doesn't give up easily. She had to work hard for a while to get up to the staircase at first. But, she learned how to use her teeth to help her climb and now she is an ol pro.


The extra bonus was that Daddy was on the other side so she could give him some smooches. 

Thank goodness both the stairwell and the window have a couch to cushion any falls. So when this happens....
It isn't that big of a deal. =)


She's also been standing on her little giraffe rocker riding him like a surfboard. We don't have a picture of that yet but this one is cute enough to share.

Happy Valentines Day!

Ellie and I were having a great Valentines Day. We saw some of our favorite people and we spent a lot of time outside playing in the beautiful weather. And then ...Daddy came home from work with some special treats and made our day even better.
We love you Daddy!
