7 Years, 1 Month...More celebrations!

More to come!
I was able to have "Ellie Day" this year on my birthday!  I got lucky to have the day off from school because of President's Day.  We went to HyVee for doughnuts for breakfast, to the Humane Society to look at animals (of course I picked out another favorite dog named Dusty), and then to Orange Leaf! 
The next day, I got to eat lunch with some of my friends in Mom's office.  Just one of the perks of going to school with her!
Miss Bruna, Emily's babysitter, broke her leg and so Nana Arden came over to our house a lot of days for two weeks.  It was so good to see her, and Aunt Michele who also came into town!
We had our family birthday party the day before Emily's birthday party. We had a combined dog/Paw Patrol party.  We had such a fun time!  It was great to spend time with my family!
I went to Emily's 2 year check-up and Mom had them measure me.  I weigh 57.4 pounds and am 51 1/2 inches tall (although I measured about an inch shorter at home.)  I sure am growing!
At some point this month, I stopped saying "Mommy".  I am just growing up, although it does slip out every once in a while!
We had a couple of play dates this month, and I got to organize all the Girl Scout cookies I sold.  I helped Mom run a lot of errands.  I know she really appreciates my help.  I also started an after school group called The Leader in Me that Mom runs.  There are 16 of us in the group, and I am really enjoying it!  Daddy also came to Donuts with Dudes at my school one morning.  It was really nice to have him there!
Emily went to a birthday party at Bonkers, and I got to go too and invite Bella.  We had such a good time!
