I've redecorated!

I hope you like the new look to the blog! I love the jungle animals!

Not much new happening this week. I've got a runny nose again. Mom is hoping that cold season ends soon.

I get to see my sister this weekend, I'm really looking forward to that. I hope that it is nice out because I LOVE to play outside. Mom and Dad got a new bike trailer so that I can go on bike rides with them. I would like to try that out too!

Here's a picture of me from this time last year.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Love,
Ellen

It was a beautiful day!

Today was such a great day! It was 75 degrees outside! Yippee! I love to play outside. Here are some pictures of my adventure.


Going down my slide! WEEEEE!!!!Playing with my rock collection! Hope Dad doesn't find too many in the yard!
Blowing bubbles at Mom!
Concentrating really hard! Actually my tongue is always hanging out of my mouth!
My first taste of dirt! I wasn't too impressed!

Auntie Beaner.....I saw you taking pictures of me this weekend! Can you send some to Mom so she can put them up???? Thank You!

4% away from being a GIANT

First I would like to apologize to all my loyal blogging fans, My mom has not been very good about getting the blogs up that I ask her to type. I do know though that she has been busy chasing me around! I don't like to stop for anything!

I had my 18 month check-up yesterday. No shots! YEAH!!! (clapping hands) and I am almost officially a giant!
Head: 50.2 cm (100+%)
Height: 34.75in (100+%)
Weight: 29.3lbs (96%)

I'm growing out of all my clothes so quickly!

But now to the real exciting stuff! I'm learning how to talk. I know a lot of words now. My Mom is working on a list to keep track of them all.

A few weeks back, my Grandma and Grandpa Antoine and Uncle Paul and Auntie Amy came to take care of me while my Mom and Dad went on a little trip. I had a lot of fun playing with them. The only bad part was that I got ouchies on my knees while Uncle Paul was "supposed" to be watching me in the back yard. They are all healed up now.

This past weekend I was in Iowa at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They have a really big yard. I can't wait until it's summer and we can play outside some more. There are a lot of places to explore at their house.

I will have my mom get some pictures up very soon. I know she's taken them.....just have to put them up here now......

Bye Bye, Love you!
Ellen

I've been busy.

This last week I got my hair cut and I went to my doctors appointment! I growing up big and strong! Doctor said I look good! I had to get two shots. I cried at first and then I realized that I was going to get stickers. Everything was OK then!

Height: 33 inches -- 96th percentile
Weight: 27.5 lbs -- 94th percentile

Below are some pictures of my new hair cut and also one of me in my Mom's bra! I found it while I was helping fold the laundry. I got it on all by myself - nobody helped me!! I'm such a big girl!!!

Bye Bye for now!

Love Ellen

My new cut.....

Helping Mom dust!
Heading towards the camera.
Wearing Mom's bra - oops - I don't think I'm ready for that yet!
Resting on Mom......so sleepy!

Some Serious Air!

Look at me! I learned how to jump. I'm still perfecting it, but my mom says I'm doing a good job! Don't mind her silly voice, she was really trying to get me going, but I was distracted by the Backyardigans. :-)

Love, Ellen
