These pictures were taken from the cell phone, so they aren't great quality. Ellia was hollering for a pee-er so I had to take her picture right away. She loves her sister and swimming on the floor or rocking together!

 

Some videos from Ellia...

 

Ellia doesn't like socks and shoes, but she likes to put on flip flops and say fweep fwop.

Ellia loved her birthday stuffed animals and musical card.

 

 

Ellia had to tell us how old she was!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ellia turns 2! Ellia is crazy about having a purse, and she can even say the word, so her cake was a purse cake. She was excited about all of her gifts, and she did not want to put down the stuffed items or purses in order to open more gifts. She enjoyed her cards too as you can see from one of the pictures!

 

The girls love their bath time! Hailey, the most awesome babysitter, gave Ellery some special bubbles for her birthday, and Ellia enjoyed the fun too.

 

More Halloween pictures--Ellia liked her dancing pumpkin from Noni and Lito. She did well as the paper part of rock/paper/scissors, and there is a picture of the costume contest at Schroder's in Armuchee where they won a gift card. So we can go back for a free dinner!

 

Ellia enjoyed picking out a pumpkin from the Trinity United Methodist pumpkin patch. She was saying "heavy" for some of them. She liked watching us help her carve the pumpkin too!

 

Ellia's first hair cut was near the end of October. She sat so well and was happy for Miss Annette to trim her hair. Of course the bribe of a sucker afterwards helped!

 

Ellia loves having a purse and pushing a baby in a stroller. She tries to make the push toy hold a baby too. The purse just makes us all laugh!

My smiling girl...Ellia is almost always smiling, and she enjoyed an afternoon at Berry College last week. They sat in a swing at Barnwell Chapel and climbed a tree!

 

A few miscellanous things from the last week or so. Last week on October 12th, Ellia proved to me that she was not ready for go-gurt in the car. She squirted herself, but at least it was not on the car! The next picture is of our Sunday hike to the reservoir at Berry. The girls got in the stroller together. The last picture is from today's pumpkin painting with our MOPS group. A fun time!

 

Ellia enjoyed Ellery's birthday day too. Chuck E Cheese was a little fun for her this time, especially the horse. She loves horsies (as she calls them), and she didn't want to get off of this one!

Ellia enjoyed our fall break trip to Chattanooga children's museum. She was old enough to really play this time--and the water was her favorite! Some of these pictures really capture her fun, silly personality.
