-Took a 4 day road trip to North Eastern Oregon. Ellie was a rockstar the whole time-not a single meltdown during all the carseat time she had!
-She has mastered a grumpy frowny face and a fake smarmy laugh
-Ellie learned to climb the stairs- all the way to the top!
-She puts her hand up to blow kisses, raises both her hands up when you say "how big is Ellie?", dances to music
-She says "ava" for avacado, "buh" or "bah" for button, bear, book, ball, bath, baby, baaa, "duck", "neigh neigh", "mmmm" for moo,
-If you ask her where her head or her toes are she'll point to them. We've started giving her directions and she responds to- come here, put your shoe on your foot, give mommy hugs, give daddy kisses, touch daddy's face gently, where's your (...)?, get daddy
-She loves to play peek a boo, round and round the garden, this little piggy, when ducks get up in the morning they always say good day, 6 little ducks that I once knew, play with her activity table, leapfrog animal fridge magnets, cars, books
-Went to Seattle for the weekend for a friends wedding and stayed with Gary & Lisa Halcomb
-Went to her friend Hadley's 1st birthday party
-Went on some bike rides
-Started brushing her teeth
-Ate some beef
-Pulls herself up and cruises around holding onto furniture
