With a month away at camp/STP in May, a TON of travel in June and a big trip to Wisconsin in August (Noah's sister is getting married! YAY!) We feel that all things summer have needed to be crammed into the month of July! I'm grateful Noah is able to be on campus each day and then home (mostly) at nights. We're grateful for the extra family time, especially as Ellie is growing and changing SO much! We've tried to get outside a bit (although this heat is killing me!) It looks like July is going to break a record-- most days in the 90s of any July. Not a record I was looking to break!
Last night we took Ellie to the pool for the first time here (she went once in Platteville!) She loved it and especially loved Daddy playing with her in the kiddie pool, on the slide, and in the lazy river! I thought this picture captured summer perfectly!
As of tomorrow, Ellie is 15 months. How did this happen!?
She's a chatty, chatty girl, "talking" up a storm. The last three days that we have gotten her up in the morning she seems to be telling us the same story. I moved a flower on the wall to a different shelf, and every morning she wakes up pointing to the old spot and then to the flower and just talking, talking, talking. She is talking in full sentences, we just don't know what she is saying :)
Her other new thing is she signs "please" while saying "more." And we say, "More what?" "More books?"
And she laughs and responds "Noooo"
"More toys?"
"Nooo" (more giggles)
"More drink?"
"Noooo" (laughing a TON by now!)
"More blankie?"
"Yes!" And then she gets all excited.
It's adorable!
We love you Ellie!
