It's TRUE! Ellie Hope Johnson is now a very busy, VERY talkative 2 1/2 year old! It's been a BIG month for Ellie... She's moved to her BIG girl bed in her BIG girl room, she's now wearing BIG girl panties and doing really well with potty training (thus the "no pants" pictures!) - and she's definitely talking like a BIG girl these days... As her Poppa Barry said after riding in the car with her for close to 14 hours from Kentucky to Kansas... "that girl is never quiet unless she is sleeping!" He meant it in the kindest way... :)
I am loving these days of having a toddler. It's really fun to be able to have intelligible conversations with Ellie. She asks great questions and it's always so fun to see her little mind at work. She makes me laugh a lot and our house is definitely never boring! She wants to be a part of everything and loves to do everything "just like Mommy!". One of her famous questions these days that I hear about a zillion times a day is "What doin' Mommy?" which is quickly followed by "Ellie will help!" or "Ellie do it!" Yes...she always refers to herself in the third person. It's pretty cute.
Here are some other fun facts about our 2 1/2 year old princess...
- She is 35 inches tall and weighs about 28 lbs.
- She's FINALLY into her 2T pants... they just swallowed her until this month and her little legs finally took a growth spurt.
- She LOVES singing. Some of her favorites right now are "Deep and Wide", "Jesus Loves Me" "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", "Please and Thank You are the Magic Words" (from Barney, in case you were wondering), and I am teaching her one of my favorites from when I was little... "I am a Promise". It's cute to hear her try to say "potentiality"
- We end most nights with a family dance party.
- Her favorite game is "Chase You" ...usually, Daddy Chase You!
- She loves Barney and Veggie Tales and would watch them ALL day if you would let her.
- She knows all of her numbers, letters, colors, and her address.
- She still ADORES her baby sister and wants to see her first thing every morning. She can hardly stand it when Alexa is sleeping and I have to make sure she doesn't sneak into her room and wake her up from naps.
- She is still our HUGE extrovert and makes friends with people pretty much everywhere she goes.
- While she is doing great in her big girl bed, she still can't seem to part with her cow and binky... I know, I know... I'll work on taking that binky away in the next few months. I just don't have the heart to do it right now...
- And the list goes on, but I will stop for now...
