This Little Girl



Holy cow, Ellie is a fun baby!!  She will be 20 months old next week.  That is just craziness.  Some fun things about Ellie:

*She loves to cuddle and be held.  When she goes to nursery at church, she doesn't cry, but she goes from teacher to teacher to find someone to hold her.
*She loves to NAP.  I have started letting her only take one nap a day, hoping to get her to sleep through the night better, but she still sleeps the same amount of time, just in one nap instead of two.  :)  She will beg for a nap as it gets close to lunch time.
*She loves her brothers and sister.  She gets very excited when the boys get home from school.  And as Zack passes the Sacrament at church, she will call out to him.
*Ellie loves her binky and blanket.  They are usually restricted until naptime, but she usually sneaks them out of her bed, if one of her siblings doesn't.
*She talks a lot.  Her understanding and ability to speak has skyrocketed in the last few weeks.  It is is really fun to hear her talk and try and communicate with us.  I especially love how she says the other kids' names:  Kacky, Der Der, Auty, Sys.
*Ellie loves to be outside!  Lucky for her, we have had a very mild winter and she has gotten a lot of of outside time.
*She has amazing hair.  It is several inches past her shoulders when it is straight.  It has massive amounts of volume.  I try to keep it pulled back usually, but if it is not, she is constantly shaking her hair from her face.
Matt and I just look at each other and laugh at all the fun things she does.  Aaaaand her brothers spoil her rotten.  I can't tell you how many times I have found Ellie with treats from school that the boys have saved for her.  I finally had to tell them to stop!  Hahaa...She is adored, for sure.
