E.J.V. --- 18 months

Shall I admit that I thought Ellie was 19 months? Nope. 18 months. And time has flown by...I love Ellie's little toes. And her cheeks that I kiss a thousand times a day. Her little nose. Her giggle - it's the best! She pretty much nails the "best all around" category in our house - always smiling and laughing, never too fussy, but not a pushover. A blessing. That's what she is. I love her. Can you tell?!

Here's a rundown ----

• Weight: 25 pds (75%)
• Height: 32 1/4 (50-75%)
• Head: 47 1/2 (75-90%)
• Words: I'd say about 10 words -- Mama, Dada, No, Yes. Cat, Dog, Cow, Pig, Happy, Abby (friend in her class), and probably a few others I am forgetting.
• Eats: Pasta with cheese and butter, yogurt especially the drinking ones, tomatoes, cheese, fruit bars, green beans to name a few...
• Toys: Rabbi (her little blanket rabbit), baby stroller, baby crib, kitchenette
• Skills: Dancer, singer, and professional climber
• Travel: Nothing but we'll make up for it once Levi's through intense treatment
• Daycare: Her favorite teachers left (sigh) and she now has a new one that we're just getting to know...that said, we adore our daycare and the staff. They have been so supportive of our situation and give Ellie lots of love and attention from what we can tell. She seems very happy so we are very pleased! Her new teachers name is Maggie. But we miss Caroline! And we adore Ms Tory!
• Personality: Sweet and sour. She is precious and lovable and wants to be held and loved by Mommy all the time. She's Levi's best friend and always smiling and content. But never doubt her...she can hold her own ground - don't take her food or her toy...she'll smack a baby. ;)
• Other: Daddy loves kisses from Ellie. Drew says Ellie has his sense of humor and my temper. She laughs at farts...so I think that's what he's basing that off of? ha! Also, still uses a paci and loves bath time. 

Here are some recent pics of our baby Elle Belle!

Pretending to go nite nite - they do this all the time

Playing with Levi - always by his side

Not that she loves being too too close... ;)

How did my baby get so big?! Love her toes!!
