Ellie is 15 months!

Ellie is 15 months old and has come alive with her little silly personality and is learning new words every day.   It has been so much fun these last couple of months because she is on the move and communicating.  She also loves to keep up with her big sister and all the big kids  She toddles around behind them and mimics everything they do.  It's hilarious to watch!  At 15 months, Ellie:

• Weights 22 lbs 8 oz (44%) and is 30.5 inches tall (51%)
• Is starting to give up her morning nap and takes about a 3 hour nap in the afternoon which is marvelous!
• Is walking really well and is also starting to walk well in the grass which has made playing outside a lot easier.
• Is becoming quite the picky eater so it's been challenging to get her to eat her vegetables.  Her favorite foods are still macaroni and cheese, fruit and cookies and sweets.
• Is talking up a storm and I can't keep up with her words anymore.  Her new thing is that she calls her cousin, Cora, Dora which is so funny to hear.
• Loves to push the baby stroller and play in their kitchen.  She is also into playing dress up and loves sunglasses
• Likes to color and does pretty good holding a crayon
• LOVES music class on Monday mornings.  She is so happy the entire time and is doing pretty good getting the instruments and putting them away.  She also loves to go up with the big kids and get a sticker at the end of class.  She is in heaven because she loves to dance and sing!
• Is a climber unlike her Big Sister.  I have to keep a close eye on this one because she likes to stand on her rocking chair an is always trying to go towards stairs. When you tell her "No", she laughs at you.  I can already foresee Ellie being a little more challenging in the discipline department!
