Ellis's ABC's "Airpeens, Bi-gulls, and Cahs"

I love this face too much
Checking out the car. There is a video related to this down below...
Bicycles! (a.k.a "Bi-gull")
Trying to figure out what Noah and Ollie are doing.
Posing with the boys
Noah had this idea to pose in height order. I love kids and their ideas! Anyways, this picture makes me kind of sad because I think Ellis looks so grown up and not like my little baby.

Here are a few pictures of Ellis playing. She has started really interacting with other kids. Our friends Joe and Amy, who live in Seattle, came to visit and Ellis loved playing with their sons. She loves kids who are just slightly older than her, around 3 or 4, so she had a really nice time following them around and mimicking whatever they were doing (as you can tell from the pics).

Over the last few weeks, Ellis has really started picking up tons of words and communicating more then ever. Her favorite things to talk about, by far, are modes of transportation. She cries "airpeens" every time she sees or hears one. The other morning as I was changing her diaper she started yelling "airpeen, airpeen" and I said, "No Ellis there aren't any airplanes in here" but then I realized that she was hearing one out her bedroom window. So funny! But "cahs" (yes, she has a bit of a Boston accent) are definitely her favorite. Vimal thinks it must be his genetics that make her love cars. She screams "Cah, Cah" the entire time we are on the highway, walking down the street, or playing at the playground. "Bi-gulls, Kucks (trucks), Bus" are frequently pointed out everywhere we go too. This age is definitely a lot of fun for both of us.


This is a video of Ellis playing in a "Cah" at a friend's house. I took this video too late so you can't see how excited she really was, but she loved it! We couldn't pull her off the car for about 30 minutes.

So cute. It's funny, reading your post sounds exactly like Baker scenarios in every way. I'm amazed at how he hears the things we take for granted. He is sure to point "airpeens" for us too. Ellis' favorite words are his too...maybe it's because we all live in the city and they see these things all the time. Who knows! These kids are growing up too fast!
