Miller Time: 13 Months Old!!!

Somehow, another month has gone by. It definitely doesn't feel like Ellison has been 1 for a whole month, but I guess she has! My little toddler continues to amaze me with all the things she can do!!!

13 Months Old on St. Patty's Day!

Miss E still is not fully walking, but she will take a couple of steps to go between two objects (like a table and the couch, or Mommy and Daddy). She will stand on her own for periods of time, but usually ends up dropping down to crawl before she really starts to move.

She's a chatterbox and is constantly talking, but we still don't understand most of it. I'll swear I hear her say a word, but then she won't say the same thing again if we try to prompt her to. I am starting to wonder if I'm crazy when I think she says things! One thing is for sure...once she starts really talking, she isn't going to stop, because her little lips are constantly moving! The newest word we are pretty sure of is "nana" for banana.

Ellison continues to be very demanding at times. She definitely knows what she wants. She will frantically point and get frustrated if we can't figure out exactly what she is trying to get. I think she needs to figure out some more words, that would definitely make life easier for all of us!

Loves to sit in her little chair to eat snacks, drink, and read!

She likes to put our things in interesting places. She thinks everything is a toy! This week I have found my phone in the silo of her Little People farm, the remote in the base of one of her ride-on toys, and a small frog jammed into the ball chute of an octopus toy. So far it just makes me laugh, at least until the day I am desperately searching for my phone or keys and find them in some bizarre place!

Please let me out?!

Ells thinks she is very funny. She will do something and then look at us to make sure we are laughing. The funniest thing she does is dance whenever music is playing! We have gotten several videos of it over the past couple of weeks. She also will push up to balance on her head, and if we laugh she will do it again. She cracks me up constantly with all of her crazy antics!!! She is a very smiley, happy girl most of the time and is almost always willing to give out kisses :)

That's one way to play with all your toys at once...

Being a goofball

Ells' balancing act

Ellison loves to stack things, knock things over, and try to put shapes in shape sorters or pieces on puzzles. I was so proud of her the first time she got shapes in the right spots! She has started to roll balls and just loves to play, with pretty much anything. She is definitely a smart little lady, and a joy to be around!

Sorting...

Happy 13 Month Birthday to the sweetest, most beautiful little girl I have ever known!!! Can't believe how fast time is flying and how much she has grown!
