What are we up to now?

I have got to write some of these new things down because I'm going to miss the details if I don't....I have know I have not been as good about blogging but it has been very busy in our world! I'm sure things will slow down after the holidays. I hope!!

3 weeks ago...We had our first haircut because our bangs were looking very shaggy and Keith's mom wanted to family pictures the day after Thanksgiving. I do have pics of that and I will post later. I REALLY want her to have a cute little bob haircut but Keith wants her to have long hair....we will see how this will go....

2-3 weeks ago....When Keith gets home from work Ellery is usually just wrapping up her dinner and as soon as she hears the garage door close and the back door open she runs with arms wide open laughing and giggling because she knows her daddy is home. She runs straight into his arms and gives him a huge hug!!!

1-2 weeks ago....we have always had a little chatty Cathy on our hands, but the words are really starting to become VERY clear! The latest word with GREAT emphasis is "no"! She is very opinionated and will let you know very clearly if she doesn't want or want to do something.

A few other very clear words: puppy, green bean, cracker, trash, agua (yes Spanish for water), potty, book, cookie....and several others that I can't think of right now. She is also really using her sign language. The most frequently used is "more". Especially when she wants "more" teddy grahams.
