Some things that Ellis enjoys...

Brushing her teeth. She likes the taste of the toothpaste (strawberry). Just look at that drool.
Brushing teeth is a very serious endeavor.
Every morning for breakfast she eats an english muffin with cream cheese.
She gets really excited about cream cheese.
Unrolling daddy's yoga mat
Practicing her "upward facing dog"
Doing "child's pose" with daddy.
Ellis loves splashing in the water.
Her face is totally covered in water but she couldn't care less.
Checking out the splashes in the mirror. Such a happy girl!

We had a pretty quiet week and weekend. Ellis is continuing to grow and surprise us. She has started saying "the bunny" though it sounds more like "da buni" which we are sure is Italian for something else entirely. She has also decided that reading is her favorite thing in the world. She will hold a book up at you and yell "EEEED" (which I'm guessing means read) until you take the book from her and do as commanded. This weekend alone Vimal and I estimate that we have read no less than 50 books to her (many of which were repeats, of course). Oh well, I guess there are worse things than having to read all day long. I will admit that I have almost all of her books memorized and often I just recite them to her while letting her flip the pages at random. Life is fun right now with Ellis. She's turning into such an interesting and fascinating little person and I'm enjoying every new stage.

Also, if you want to check out all the pictures from our photo shoot with Erica, you can visit www.ericaferrone.com and click on "client proofing" then enter the password "ellis". Please don't feel obligated to look, as there are over 200 photos there. And again, if you are in or around Boston and looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Erica.
