Ellie has such a great sense of humor. Several times today, I feel like she was trying to make me laugh. Just getting in my face and being silly, saying funny stuff (not that I understood, but she did and thought it was very silly.) Her favorite book is Goodnight Gorilla, and seriously she read it like 10 times today. She knows it's hilarious. She's so desperate to talk; I know she will be telling jokes soon.
Some things Ellie is saying lately: She can go, ball, dora, jenny, kate, nana (banana), oh!, whoa! She was grabbing for Life cereal and said, "I want those!" At the pool I thought she was drinking from a pool toy, so I asked her, "Ellie, are you drinking the water?" and she said in a funny little tone, "I drink water!" Everyone around the baby pool started cracking up and thought she was older than she is.
Kate is such a sweet girl. She does such a great job with Ellie - she is so kind and loving with her. She even shared her orange peanut butter crackers with her today :) She's a snuggly little girl. Her joke of the day - "Why do some people say 'Ah, Man!' at the end of a prayer?"
Note on these pictures: isn't it funny that in both pictures we have the same expressions?
