I know this won't surprise any of you reading this, but I can't get over how quickly Ellie is growing up. I just want to bottle up every minute and never forget what she was like at this stage (so I do things like taking pictures of her while she's sleeping soundly, well at least this one). There are some memories I would like to share, but I'm sure would mortify her later in life. Oh well. Why not? How about when she ran away from me after bathtime the other day (not an uncommon occurance), leaving me to chase her around the house with a diaper in my hand. By the time I caught she had her knees clamped together and she said, "Uh oh. Potty on da floor." Ah ha. Yesterday she said the longest sentence she's ever spoken to me when buckling into her car seat after school. She said, "I don't wanna drive, I wanna walk!" Hmmm. Getting an opinion!
She's beginning to want to push her stroller instead of riding in it. When she does ride, she's either telling me to go faster, go this way or go that. Her right index finger has gotten really good at pointing the way. A little bossy streak developing!
Here's Ellie with her friend John. She smiled for me, but somehow couldn't tear her eyes away from the Wii game being played on the screen behind me. John's dad works in campus ministry and was hosting a fun night in our center tonight for some of the students he works with. It was fun to see little John and Ellie playing together (he's four months older than her).

I just have to say that whenever D. says Isaiah is getting bossy, I say no, he is not bossy... he is a natural-born leader. :) Just think of the leadership skills she is developing!
This is so adorable!
That is a great way to put it, Corrie. I will share that with my parents next time they remind me that I was a 'bossy' child myself. ;-)
