Counting

Ellie thinks every number is "numba 9" or "eighteee." She copies Eric a lot lately. Eric knows all his numbers and letters and will be going to his preschool open house in a couple weeks.

Tough Girl

I took Ellie for her 15 month checkup and the doc asked me how she was doing. I said fine, except she had a runny nore for about 4-5 days. Well he checked her out and she has a double ear infection!! No fever, cring, sleeplessness or anything. He said some babies handle it better than others. Now she is on amoxicillin. She is 21 lb 10 ounces and 31 inches long.
The kids had macaroni for dinner and I love making that for them because Ellie calls it "maca-bunca-bunca-bunca"

I'd Be Happy To

I asked Eric to help me put his books away in his room and he said "I'd be happy to." So sweet.
He is getting smarter by the minute. The other day we were driving and he said " we have cans and bottles?" because we were driving on the same road where we always return them.
Ellie is a chatterbox these days. Some of her words are: duckadee (just her favorite word), biddee=banana, appida=applesauce, ducky, doggie, puppy (most animals) beeba (zebra and giraffe)
