Ellie in 2014

Ellie is one week shy of 18 months.  She is cuddly and happy and loves to tease.  I am still trying to figure out how to keep her from being spoiled rotten.  The kids laugh at everything she does and, actually, so do Matt and I.  She is just so darn cute and fun. 
Ellie can say all of our names and it us funny to hear her call for different people to save her from.her crib.  She knows that Derek, especially, can not resist the call of, "Der Der!"
Most of our kids have been pretty average height, but Ellie is tall.  She has amazing hair.  I get stopped all the time by people who.comment on her hair.  She is really such a joy despite her toddler dabbling in mischief.  She us pure sunshine in.our home.
