Ellie at 21 months

• She is a happy-go-lucky kid with a mischievous side


• She still loves to cuddle and give hugs


• She greets me each morning with a sweet "Hello, Mommy!"


• She weighs 27 pounds, 2 ounces


• She loves to play with her mega legos and puzzles


• She also loves to color and insists on saying "Color!" over and over while she is doing it


• She loves to dance and can get down with the best of them


• She won't watch anything other than Elmo


• She is most ticklish under her chin


• She loves to ride her "bike" outside


• She wants to eat everything with a fork, even bread. When she says fork, it sounds exactly like a bad, four-letter word starting with "f."


• When she is mad, she will tell you, "No! Bad!" or "No! Go back!"


• She can identify and say almost every letter in the alphabet.


• She is the most amazing kid I have ever met and I am always marveling at how I got so lucky.
