Big Girl

As you can see Ellie likes playing with Hayden's toys, even when she is too big. She has recently started climbing in his bouncer and has always climbed in his swing when he wasn't in it. She is talking a lot more and her new favorite words are book uh oh, and cracker. She says book and uh oh and does the sign for cracker. She is sure one smart kid. She also gets out of her pajamas. If the zip or snap, she can undo those and she has been able to get out of regular shirts for a while. So, we have to put some of her pajamas on backwards. This is the best picture we have and I don't know if you can tell, but the snaps are in the back.

Almost there....

Ellie will be in Nursery next month!! We are both really excited. We will actually be able to start going to class now, instead of being out in the hall chasing her around. It's kinda crazy that I have a kid that old! She continues to keep us on our toes and already acts like a teenager! Her vocabulary is getting bigger both with signs and spoken words. She loves to help with the laundry, dishes, and feeding and playing with Hayden. She likes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, jumping on our bed, drawing, and being outside. She also likes being a big girl and eating at the table.

Teething Time

Hayden got his two bottom teeth about a month ago and his top ones are coming in now. He is miserable and doesn't take it as well as Ellie does. He is the one that is starting to drive me crazy! At his four month check-up he was 20 lbs and 27 inches long. He keeps getting thicker and thicker. He is a lot more vocal than Ellie was at this age. It's pretty funny to hear him. He also likes to suck on his toes and Ellie didn't do that either.

Ellie and Cold Cereal

So, Ellie LOVES cereal and Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She could eat both all day long and pretty much already does, which means she usually has two baths a day sometimes more. She is a very messy eater. This is what she does when all of the cereal is gone from her bowl and all that's left is the milk.

Ellie's First Haircut

While we were down in Othello for Labor Day weekend, my mom decided to cut Ellie's bangs. That part of her hair isn't as curly as the back, so it always hung in her eyes and she always looked like one of those dogs that can never see because of their fur in the eyes. My mom said that it went past her chin. So now it looks much much better. I don't have any very good before pictures of it hanging in her eyes, but hopefully you guys can see the difference from her past pictures.

Fun With Grandma

Ellie loves playing outside, with hoses, water, and with Grandma. So this is her playing with all of them.
