Fall Fun


2 going on 13!  Normally she also yells "Go away" before she slams the door in my face!  Thankfully, these fits are becoming less and less the more she can talk!


Ellie is convinced she is now 3!

We celebrated Ellie's 2nd birthday and Khaliel's 4th birthday together on Ellie's actual birthday.  They had a super hero party!  We had a blast with our friends, and they got lots of cool stuff.  I can't believe my baby is 2!!!  She is spunky and full of life.  She knows what she wants and will let you know about it.  She loves to climb, flip, and jump, and wants to do everything her big brothers do.  She calls Khaliel "teal" and Apollos "pawos".  She is a little Mama and will try and keep the boys inline.  She LOVES her purple baby and sleeps with it every night.  She is 31 inches tall and 20 lbs 15 oz.  Since she fell off the chart, we had some blood work done to make sure there isn't a medical reason she is so small.  Everything came back normal.  She is just going to be short.  :)  She is our little firecracker, and I wouldn't change her at all!!
