Tried to take a picture of her dancing...it is awesome!
Tiny is weighing in at 19.6 lbs. She is obviously blessed with a great metabolism because she is still a fantastic little eater and chugs milk all day long. There are still very few foods she won't eat (some meats and potatoes - except French fries - being the main ones) but we have been lucky that so far, she's not picky!
Ells and some of her "babies"
Lots of new words this month - she is starting to try and copy many things we say, including some letters. Favorite things to say lately have been "babies" and "puppies". She says "yep" as a response to most questions. Other new words are flowies (flowers), bapa (grandpa), up, and Elmo. She likes to hide behind things and them poke her head out and say "boo!" Obviously she got that one from her favorite movie :) Her knees got scraped up over the 4th of July and she kept pointing her "owies" out to us. Her little voice is so cute and she has the greatest laugh ever! She has also developed a funny little wave over the past couple of weeks that involves waving with just her pointer finger...
Picking "flowies"
Still waiting on a disc of 4th of July pictures from Gramma and Grampa. I'll share them at some point! We also had some family pics taken last week which hopefully we will see (and I will post) in the near future. Ellison will have 18 month pictures taken by Krystal (who did her newborn/6 month/1 year pics) next month as well. Yes, we are obsessed with pictures of our cutie pie! We will be on a professional photo break then until her 2 year pics.
At the marina for Uncle Bill's 60th birthday
We are starting to get really excited about our upcoming move - thinking about starting to pack and how we are going to paint! We have our current place through the end of August and close on the house July 31, so we have some time to get it move-in ready. All we really need to do is some painting, though. We go up north next week and then come back just in time for the final walkthrough and closing. Summer is flying by!
Only a couple more weeks with Ells' current daycare provider. Very sad, we will miss her!!! We found another in-home daycare, with two very nice ladies who Ellison liked right away. She starts there the second week of August. Hopefully all goes well...I wish we could afford for me to stay home with her but unfortunately that's not an option. The new place is licensed by the state and all the kids are near E's age so I think she will have fun there. I am just an anxious person so the change freaks me out, especially since I'm already stressed with the move coming up!
Enjoy these pics of Ells!!!
She is obsessed with wearing our shoes!
