Sorry it's been so long!


The school year is winding down---Gabe is done teaching and I have two weeks left (and a day). Here are some of the latest and greatest pictures of Ellis. She is so much fun to have around. She's walking more than she's crawling now and gets lighter on her feet everyday.

Common words in Ellis' ever-growing vernacular include: go, no, shoe, knee, cheeks (always said multiple times in a row while pointing to someone's cheeks), Mama, Did-ee (Daddy), go-way (not sure she's knows what it means, but she says it a lot :), and Day (Daly). She understands many more words, which makes communicating with a toddler so much easier.

Ellis has two top teeth and two bottom teeth, and is growing another on the top and another on the bottom.

(For those of you keeping track, Ellis is 15.5 months old)
