Ellanore is 2. And I find my self thinking , "only2?!" She seems to do everything ahead of schedule! She started walking at 8 months, running at 10 months it seems :) she wrestles and keeps up with her big brothers, she decided to start using the big girl potty at about 17months , and she is having full conversations with us till her hearts content! She just seems so much bigger than 2! And that is just developmental milestones. She also is about the size of a three year old , she is just a smudge shorter than Henry and a few lbs less! She eats like a 12 year old boy some days too, a healthy 12 year old boy :). No, please don't think I am hinting that she is fat or on her way. She is so active that she needs to be eating!! She worlds just as hard as her big brothers so she needs the fuel:)
She is very sweet and kind. Usually willing to share, if it is talked about first . Give her the chance to be kind and your heart will melt. However , do something she doesn't approve of , catch her off guard, and watch out! She has already had her brother in a few headlocks! :/ it's a serious issue, I try not to
Laugh, we are working on it:)
She loves her baby dolls, all of them she likes to play with. However her favorite is a baby belle doll that I believe was given to her from grandma and grandpa, before she was 1, I think. Well that has been well well loves. Shane and the boys got her a new one for her birthday:) she is ok with the replacement, but still keeps the old ratty one close by. She tucks the baby doll under her arms while she falls asleep. It is pretty adorable.
She loves being outside and loves the dirt! Or sandbox, but since ours is still being built, she digs in the dirt:) hurry up uncle Jon ;)
She used to have these crazy bow legs that made her waddle as she ran, but
Those days are gone. She is almost as fast as Henry, maybe just not as balanced :)
She likes to throw and play catch. Mainly she likes to throw :) her best friends are "ooowwweeee" and "hnry" and she is a little momma to "posey" which is the most adorable name she says, in my opinion. My days are filled with the words "comeon momma""toys, let's play" spoken in her sweet voice. She loves to belt out to the song of LET IT GO. We love that :) she is exploring other songs at the moment , which include Everythjng is Awesome from Lego Movie, What does the fox say, Shake it off, and Happy. Emmitt is her favorite Lego to play with and only 1 of the 800 we have will do :) she loves to have dance parties, where she does 'shake it off' like t-swift says. My absolute favorite thing she does right now, and has been doing for about a month and a half, is she fills notebooks with her drawings. It's intense. She is focused. She gets excited when she sees a new notebook or pens to draw with. She sometimes even tells me who or what she is drawing. And the act of it is not just scribbling. She is purposefully putting lines there or circles over where. I love it when she is so enammored with it and her face is almost touching her notepad and you can just see her big beautiful brain at work. It's pretty amazing ! We all love her so so much. She has blessed our loves beyond words.i love having her as a daughter and I am so incredibly excited to see what her life will unfold !!
