Ellie @ Two

{It's a little late, but better than never!}



Our sweet little Eleanor turned two almost two weeks ago.



I can barely believe it, and yet sometimes, she acts far older than two!





Things Ellie likes at Two:



  • talking and singing! Her vocabulary is ever expanding and single words have blossomed into sentences seemingly overnight. {Though, we're still working on getting her to stop calling Aunt Jessie, "BB", ha!} Her current favorite songs to sing are the "ABCs" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider". She requests them nearly every night.

  • playing games... particularly her own little made up games which usually involves getting others to say or do things that she wants them to do. For example, she'll call on everyone in the room to sing by telling you, "Sing, Papa!" "Sing, Nana!" Everyone always plays along... except for Noah.

  • tackling, pestering, chasing, and all around annoying Noah. To no end. I'm still not sure if it's because she thinks it is funny or if it is because she simply loves him.

  • tackling me with a great big hug and saying, "Hi, Mommy!" when she knows she's about to get into trouble for something.

  • snuggling with Papa before she has to go to bed.

  • reading. And she'll even read to herself. Favorite book ever: "No, David!"

  • pretending to talk to Daddy on my cell phone.

  • "helping" Nana when she's trying to fix dinner.




Littlest Dear One, you are amazing. And beautiful. And spunky and sassy. We love you to pieces and are so blessed to have you in our lives. You make us laugh with your silly and funny faces. You melt our hearts every time you squeeze our necks and say "Youve you". One has been a fantastic year for you... we can't wait to see what wonderful and exciting things Two brings. We'll eat you up, we love you so!
