Milk

Somewhere under the blankies is a little girl holding a bottle of milk. If she doesn't get her milk right away she is almost as bad as some of my co-workers if they don't get their coffee right away. They, however, don't hug small blankets to their face while drinking coffee.

Words

Amongst the nearly constant chatter coming from my daughter are several recognizable words.

mommy
daddy
ish! - fish (either enthusiastically pointed at in a book or the in the fish tank in our house)
tac-tor - tractor (waved at when someone is mowing the lawn)
ah oh - anything from dropping something to stubbing a toe
bawl - ball
nana - my mom
wawa - water
dado - ??

Other sounds:
aaaaah - pointing at a sheep
ooff ooff - dog
mmm mmm - cow
eee (inhale) aaa (exhale)- donkey

Adventures in Feeding

"You expect me to eat that?"

Bottoms up.

Ellie knows where different parts of her face are, but it more fun to honk Nana's nose..


Or where her Nana's mouth is.

Read for Skiing?

These skis wouldn't really be all that great on the slope.

Everybody in the pool!

Ok.. maybe everyone won't fit.

We borrowed some friends pool while they were gone for a bit. But Ellie didn't really like it even though she loves her bath time.

Too cold!

Basket Ball

Forget the fancy expensive toys. Last week the most popular toy was the clothes basket, prefferably if it had a few balls in it to push around and around and around.

Sometimes she will get it stuck on a piece of furniture and that is when the temper displays itself.. a couple of times she got so mad she would bite the basket!

Ellie meets the Atlantic

Aunt Stacy introduces Ellie to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean while we were on vacation in the Maritimes.
