15 Months

Ellie is now 15 months. It is so amazing to me how much a child learns in just a short period of time.

Summer 649

Ellie is talking a lot. She says Mamma and Dada or daddy. She says kick kick kick when she is in the pool. I think her favorite word is shoes. She loves to say it and she loves her shoes. Honestly, she says a ton if you really listen. She is repeating what you say it just isn't very clear.

Ellie also loves a telephone and anything else that Macie is playing with at the moment. It scares me to think what life if going to be like with the amount of jealousy and fighting that already occur between the two of them.

Ellie really started walking at about 13 1/2 months. She still does something fully with her right leg, so we are going to talk about it at her doctors appointment this week. It does not slow her down very much. But, if there is a minor issue, it would be so much easier to correct it now that when she gets older.

Ellie loves to play outside. It has been hard because it is so hot right now. She is going to love it when the weather cools off and we can be outside more. The day I took these pictures we were loving the cooler temperatures after being close to 100 several days in a row.

We are working on moving to one nap a day. But, it is a hard transition. I decided this week, we are going to try to keep her out of the car until afternoon. I am hoping I can keep her up until noon and she will take one long nap. I think I might just be making myself crazy!

Summer 679

Ellie has a mouth full of teeth. She is working on her last two canines and we will be finished until the 2 year molars. She uses them well because she wants to eat everything Carson and Macie have.

Ellie is just the sweetest thing. Her personality is coming out and we are really excited to see how she continues to grow.

What is it about little girls and shoes. I think that is Nicole's favorite word. That and "toes" as she takes her shoes off and looks for a new pair to wear. :^) hey, once school starts back for Macie and Megan - yell if it you want to make an early in the day park run.
