These are all the words she says on her own. She will repeat just about anything and everything you say. Watch out!!

Ellery's walk is starting to turn into a run on occasion. She loves to be outside, go to school and sleep. She is still sleeping 12 hours a night (7:30pm-7:30am) but we are now napping only once a day. This is the schedule school has so we have adopted it as well. It is generally a 1.5-2.5 hour nap.

Ellery loves to tickle us and will even lay on the floor and attempt to tickle herself. She is suck a little joker!

She has 12 teeth now and I keep thinking I am seeing more, but I think it is just my imagination.

We took a break from "trying" to use the potty, but we still sit on it each night before her bath. We will be sitting in a class in a few months to learn how to potty train. This class is offered at Ellery's school so that our teaching techniques mirror what the school teaches. After all, consistancy is key! She is still giving us all of the sighns she is ready to go though!
