14 months!

As you can see, Ellie's not a baby anymore!!! Our little princess is 14 months old and definitely on the GO. She absolutely loves life and adventure of all kinds. She loves to explore and is determined to the max. There is no obstacle that this little ball of fire cannot overcome. :) My friend Callie and I got to take Ellie to the park to play on her birthday. We have had some gorgeous days here in Manhattan, so we have to take advantage of our outside days before the cold hits and we are cooped up! As you can see, Ellie LOVES to swing!

Here's a pic of our little brave girl. She has no fear, even when she should. :) Here she is scooting off the play equipment. She is mastering the stairs as well. She is great at going UP the stairs, but if there is a rail, she can also go DOWN the stairs forward as well! ;)

Ellie looking "reflective"... I actually think she was just contemplating her next move. :)

This describes Ellie to a "T" these days... If the dishwasher is open, she is always trying to climb in it. Not sure why... but this is of huge interest to her these days.

She's feeling pretty proud of herself here. She successfully snagged a spoon out of the dishwasher before Mom could get it closed... It's funny, though I try not to laugh and continue to TRY to be consistent in discipline. But I can't help but grin on the inside when she snags a piece of silverware and then takes off in her baby sprint to try to get away with it!

I wish this picture wasn't blurry or it would have been perfect! :) Quite the mature little pose, don't you think?

Life just continues to get more fun and more interesting with our little bundle of joy!
Just when we think we couldn't possibly love her more... we do!

Cute pictures, Jen. I love her smiles as they seem to consume her entire body. So sweet! She must not be a shoe girl huh?! Thanks for sharing her with us.
