Month 2: Practically a Grown-Up

Hello world! I have now survived my first two months!  I know you all are hoping for an update from my busy and active life.

Naturally, my main jobs still consist of entertaining middle-aged women by simply existing, and continuing to exercise my bodily functions. I am quite good at both, I might add.  I like to play games: the "see-how-may-times-I-can-make-Daddy-change-his-shirt" game, the "see-how-many-diapers-I-can-use-in-one-hour" game, and the "see-how-loudly-I-can-burp-in-the-middle-of-the-sermon" game. I also enjoy tummy time, but I prefer to be on my back. That's probably because brother likes to see how long can I keep things balanced on my head while I'm on my tummy.




 Speaking of brother, I'm still his favorite person. He likes to take naps with me. Haha, the joke's on him, because sometimes I'm not actually napping but he goes to sleep anyway.



He also still loves to share with me when I cry to make me feel better, but he doesn't always ask permission first. I prefer felt pieces to bulldozers, though what I'd really like is a little personal space (excepting Mommy and Daddy, of course).

Being offered a 2-year-old's choo choos is a sign of high honor.

Daddy is my favorite person in the whole wide world. I like the way he holds me in the sling and I usually go to sleep on our walks together. It's just so cozy!



I have a variety of nicknames. Daddy calls me Elle, Elle Belle, Ellie Girl, and Blue Eyes. Brother calls me Belle, Baby Eh-yah, and Elli-Nana. Mom calls me Winston, Goober Pants, Stinky McStinkerson, Lovey Dove, and Chubs. She also says she hates the nickname "Ellie Belly" but she's the worst offender.  Here's a tip: don't let Mom pick your nickname.

Who does she think she's kidding? We all know I've got her wrapped around my finger.

My big milestone for this month was my very first plane ride, first trip to Disneyland, and first time meeting my uncles. I also slept eight hours straight some nights! Unfortunately, all this adult-like activity does not prevent Mom from dressing me up like a baby doll.

"Mom, WHAT is this monstrosity on my head?"
