21 1/2 Months...Turkey, turkey, and more turkey!

Things are getting exciting around here! Mommy and daddy took me to see Santa and sit on his lap. I did OK, but he was a little strange. We practiced saying, "Toys, please!" but I got too nervous when I met him. Afterwards, I wanted to keep going back to make sure he was there. We went to three Thanksgiving meals and boy, do I like those! I got to see all my cousins too. That was a lot of fun. I'm talking more in sentences now and amazing mommy and daddy more every day. If I want them to do something again, I always say, "try again!" I also know the colors white, "wewwow" (yellow), "geen" (green), "puple" (purple), pink, orange, "boo" (blue), and sometimes red. I got my other molar on bottom, so that makes 18 teeth! I'm getting better about letting mommy brush my teeth too. We went to Discovery Time at the library and I got to play with Play Doh! I wasn't too sure about it at first, but then I really liked poking my fingers through it! We also had family pictures done at the park. I hope I smiled big! I have really enjoyed having Christmas decorations around too. I think there is some stuff about to happen soon, but I don't know what yet!
See the book, Monkey?

21 Months...Speaking in sentences?

Mommy just can't keep up with me anymore! I say so many things now that she can't write it all down. I say a lot of 3-4 word sentences! I'm not a baby anymore! Annie has been gone most of this month, so I have been in good hands with Nana Arden and Grandma Kathy during the days. Mommy was also gone for 4 days, so daddy and I got to hang out. I had a lot of fun learning new things! Trying on my new snowsuit Oops, I fell over! Forget it, I give up! You put your left hand out Running with spoons (good thing they aren't scissors!) By the way, where are my pants? Goota keep in touch with my peeps! The many faces of Ellie Are you kidding me? Cutie pie Silly girl Cool girl Happy girl Slam dunking the balloon Follow me, Mr. Phone Leaf Monster I LOVE ELMO!

20 1/2 months...

I can say so much these days! Some of my new words are "kangaroo", "Boyer", "sweet potatoes", "black walnuts", "hippo-pa-a-mis", and "Luke" (a boy who will be coming to the sitter's soon. I also say, "Chiefs-touchdown!" I say a lot of phrases too, like "decorate it", "cut it up", and "I fall down". I can count to 10, but I skip 4. I asked a squirrel at the park, "Where you going?" and a grasshopper at home, "What you doing?" I love animals and being outside. We had lots of fun going to the park lately, and our recent visit to see my grandparents!
