Ellie is 18 months

In addition to all the words I have listed before, here are a few more of Ellie's regular words:
Super Why
Papa
Mama (she quit saying that for awhile, but now it is her new favorite word and mine!)
Daddeee
Day Koo (thank you)
Bees (Please- she also says this when she wants me to hold her)
Pew stinky (while smelling her feet or anyone else's)
No way!
I don't know
Pitty (pretty)
Okay
Choo choo
all right
five (when giving high fives)
I'll say one, then she'll say "two, teee"
duck (for duck, duck, goose)
George (as in Curious George)
Whuz zat?  or just zat?  (what's that)
I do!
Up, down
and 
SISSY
She can really start repeating anything we say now, so I am sure the vocabulary is really going to pick up in the next couple of months.

Loves:
Bath, brushing teeth (she goes into the bathroom and opens the drawer to pull out her toothbrush and toothpaste all the time), dolls, her little people princesses and castle, playing with big sister, coloring, singing and dancing, counting, pointing at pictures in books, Lego's  talking on the phone, yogurt, and reading books in her room by herself in a corner.

Schedule:
Up at 7:30, enjoys a morning bottle of milk while watching the news with Mommy, breakfast, playtime, lunch, nap from 1-2:30 more playtime, afternoon show, dinner, bed between 6:30 and 7:30



I forgot how much I LOVE this age!  Easy, fun, sweet, and entertaining to say the least.

Grammy and Pa's New Year's Visit











After snow fun, we had game night!!  Forgive me, Pa, for the following pictures.
A manly game of DOMINOES 



 Take three giant steps with the man on your belly

Crab walk to three windows with the fish on your head...and your daughter on your belly?

Just be yourself.



 Busytown game!



Enjoying hot chocolate at Barnes and Noble

 I love how they walk around holding hands.  They were trying out their new slippers.

 "Here, Papa, it's a book."  I told you she has loose lips!
 Hang out in robes...
