I have been holding out on mom and dad. Today I babbled a whole lot and I was babbling "dada, dada, dada" I "talked" a lot today! While I was eating dinner I talked the whole time. Mom and Dad had no idea what I was saying but I was talking.

Tonight we brushed my teeth! It was good! I like brushing my teeth, all 3 of them! Mom got me a Baby Einstein toothbrush and toothpaste. It kinda tickled a little bit when mom brushed my gums. But it was kinda neat, I wonder when she will brush them again?
Dad took pictures but of course they aren't uploaded yet--my parents AGH!

Today was not so fun... no new kitchens when I woke up.

Mom made my 15 month dr appt today, how fun? I saw Dr. Owen today, I really like her, she is nice and she is going to have a baby, how cool!

I'm going to let Mom take over for a minute to tell you about the appt because I get choked up everytime I think about it.

Ellie had to get 2 shots today and her blood drawn to test for lead.
She is 22 lbs 5 oz (with clothes on)
She is 30 inches long
All her measurements were right around the 50% percentile on the chart
Dr. Owen would like to see her talking a bit more but otherwise was very happy with her.
She wants to see her back at 18 months and then there are no shots until she is 4, we are ALL very happy about that.

Back to Ellie...

So after that dreadful dr appt I took a very long nap. Mom and Dad had a few errands to run tonight and so we drove a lot and really they got me out of the car like 15 times but I saw no packages--so I am not exactly sure what they were doing. Finally we went to the at&t store and they left with a bag--don't know what they got but they got a bag!

All I can say is WWWHOOOO!!!!

I woke up this morning and had a banana and then I went in the living room and there was a kitchen!!! A real kitchen with utensils and everything! There were all kinds of things! I love the kitchen. The best part of the kitchen is all the doors but maybe the best part is the bowls where I can stir things with the spoons and forks, or maybe the best part is the cell phone that comes with it, or maybe, I don't know! I just know I love it! Hours of entertainment! ! ! !

After we played for a while with my new kitchen we went to Grandmamaw's and Grandpapaw's. It was fun! She cooked and honestly I didn't really like the food, mom and dad did but it wasn't my kind of food. Anyway, after lunch we opened up presents and I got a bounce and spin horse that hooks up to the tv-so cool! Mom and Dad got all excited when they opened up a present--it was a Wee, or Wii, or Wei, I don't know! Anyway they liked it! Then they got all excited again when they opened up these presents with all this green stuff. Something about new phones, I don't know I can't think about them right now when I have a kitchen and utensils at home to play with...

The slumber party was fabulous! I had a bit of trouble sleeping but Uncle Jason slept with me so that I wouldn't be scared. Me and Kara played and played and played! I can't wait for the next party!

After Dad got off work today we went to Grandmamaw's for dinner cause it is Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Dada!

Then we went to Nanny's house where Santa visited and left presents and everything. It was so much fun opening presents, really what was fun was watching everyone else open their presents. All the paper ripping was awesome! I loved it.

Mom says she will post pictures soon. Keep checking in...

Mom update

This is from the Mommy...
I didn't get any phone calls in the middle of the night last night, so that must mean the slumber party was a success! I woke up a few times to look at the clock and see when I could reasonably go get her--2 am was an option for me--but I refrained! I even thought I could just drive over there and sleep in the car in the driveway BUT be very proud that I stayed at home and slept in my bed!

Happy Birthday Baby Daddy!

When Ellie gets home she will be updating about what she did and how much fun she had.

Tonight is my big "slumber party". Uncle Jason and Kara came over to get me and took me to his house--I guess this goes with the slumber party deal. Anyway, I waited for him at that door with my coat on.

Tomorrow I will tell you how this slumber party deal went!

Today was mom's first official day off. I went to hang out with Grandmamaw today because mom wanted to finish the floor. And she did! Well with the exception of the laundry room and the closet. Mom was very happy about this. Now she can start putting furniture back and we can start playing down there again.

Mom had to go to school today, we were really hoping she would either be delayed (don't know what that means) or get to stay home all together. But anyway, she had to go and I guess her going now instead of in June is better.

I cracked mom and dad up tonight...I went into the kitchen and got the nilla wafers out of the cabinet and brought them to mom and dad. Then I did the sign language for "more". Mom laughed a whole lot at me walking in the living room with the box of wafers.

Today started out rough. I fell again and my two pokey things on the bottom went through my lip. So once again the blood started flowing--this seems like a Sunday occasion--I hope not!

Anyway, as the day went on it wasn't so tragic but I was in a bit of a mood. My cousin Kara came over this afternoon. Nina had bought us these matching pj's and wanted to take our picture. If you click on the picture you can kinda see that my top lip is not exactly normal size!

Funny thing...as Uncle Jason was leaving I insisted on leaving with him and putting a coat on. So mom said I could go. I went and played at Kara's house and mom picked me up after she went to Target. It was so fun! Mom and Aunt Trish scheduled a slumber party for me and Kara next week, what is a slumber party? I'll have to have mom google 'slumber party' for me. I am excited even though I don't know what it is because Kara was excited about!

Can you guess what I did tonight? Ate a smurf? No... Ate tons of blueberries? No... Keep guessing...

I FINGER PAINTED! I loved it! The gushy feeling in between my fingers! So squishy! Now what I didn't like was the taste of it! Can you eat finger paint?

Well, I learned a new trick today...climbing on the toy box. Mom and Dad think they can put stuff up there and I won't get it and until today they were pretty much right. But now they have no hiding spots. I even pushed the 2 liters off the toy box and then leaned over to get them. Mom keeps saying she is going to have to take me to the hospital soon because I am going to bust my head, what does she mean?

Isn't my new dress cute? My mom should teach my sit like a lady!

Tonight the kitchen table got a new look... Dad put this rope around all the chairs??? I don't know why? I tried to move the chair to get up in it and because of this "rope" I couldn't move the chair to get up in my seat. I don't know why or how long this "rope" is going to last but it is causing my problems.

December 6, 2008

I got a new hat!!! Mom brought it home today, she was certain I wouldn't wear it but little did she know. Dad says the only reason I left it on was because I had my "StayPuff Marshmallow Suit" on, aka coat. Anyway I love it and from this point forward you can call me Snow Princess!

December 2, 2008

I can't believe Mom took this picture...I am naked and my hair is all messed up! This is what I look like after my bath my daddy gave me.

Pokey thing update: they keep giving me medicine and so now dramatic fits tonight but mom says they are ready to poke right through. I wish they would hurry!

December 1, 2008

I got to stay at home today with Dad! It was fun! About half way through the day I went to see Grandmamaw for a bit. While I was there I was playing with her tree, all these people have trees in there houses now?, and anyway it fell over! How did this happen? I still have no idea why there are trees in houses? Someone please explain!

Anyway, after mom got home from work the night started getting a bit rough...I am getting all four of my front teeth on the top and it hurts! I was good all day and when I saw mom my tears started flowing and I didn't know what I wanted. Nothing was making it any better. Mom talked to Grandmamaw and she had the idea to let me eat a cold thing on a stick, Popsicle I think she called it. None the less it helped. The cold made my incoming teeth feel much better. At one point I just laid my head on my arm and cried, see below.

I hope these pokey things hurry up and stop hurting.
