Ellen is really turning into a little person. She runs all over the place, screams when she doesn't get her way, pushes kids out of her way to get their toys....she definitely has a big personality. But she's also turning into my little helper. She's learned how to throw things away for me, put things in the washer/dryer, get tupperware out of the cabinet...it's cute.
Oh, she really wants that camera!
She loves playing with blankets these days.
Nicholas says she looks like a chalk outline when she sleeps....
My chunky-monkey. She learned how to shrug her shoulders, so I haven't been able to get a normal picture in awhile. I think this picture was taken just before she ate half a crayon. Yum.
She's also learned how to squat.
Ellen's been running around like crazy. She's stopped keeping her hands at ready while walking around, and she's even starting to get the "toddler" body shape. She's getting so big... she's even got her own purse now!
Erika had taken a series of photos with Ellen on Saturday. There were ones that turned out better than this one, but I thought this one looked like she's annoyed with mom, a look that we might be seeing more of when she's a teenager.
And finally Ellen has discovered that she fits into this ottoman that was Erika's Christmas present from me. She likes to be picked up in it and flown around the room like it's a carnival ride. We tried to get her to duck down and hide in it. That didn't go too well.
