Ellie Boo is almost Two!

My Ellie girl is turning TWO on Friday and I can't believe it! Guess what I'll be doing the morning of? The dreaded-but-not-so-dreaded-for-me glucose tolerance test. Yippee! I remember being nervous with Ellie because everyone made it sound horrible, but really it isn't that terrible.

So here's a picture overload of (mostly) recent pictures of Ellie:

This is how I found Ellie for a LONG time after she woke up in the morning and her naps. She could never climb down though, thank goodness. We got her a toddler bed that she is loving (I can't imagine why).

General Conference prayer time. Notice how irreverent I'm being by snaggin' this shot? Worth it.

Her new favorite place to play!

She won't eat cheese, unless it's a huge block of it still covered in plastic.

Is always helping me in the kitchen and is as helpful as ever!

It's hard taking her out of her car seat these days because she ALWAYS wants to play in the car. And some days I let her (like when I'm lugging all the groceries inside).

No he didn't break the crib. He's too light.

Loves keys and putting on shoes and little babies.

 Breakfast with daddy. She is so much like him it isn't even funny!

 I love my morning snuggles with her.

 Fort Building! She kept trying to jump on the "roof"-- it wasn't up for very long.

 Loves getting herself dressed--into pajamas. And yes, still loves yogurt.

 It's not fun when I have to tell her "no more otterpops," she doesn't like that. No, not one little bit.

 Loves going on walks with mommy. Grateful for the weather to be able to do so, and to have paths right by our apartment to make it so enjoyable. She is constantly bending down to pick up leaves as we walk. You see all those leaves??

Eating a cinnamon roll with Great-Grandma Neer.

Helping put away dishes. And the picture on the right cracks me up. This is her fake laugh face.

 

Enjoying our walks!

Love my silly, cooky Ellie girl.
