Ellie is 14 Months

Yesterday, my baby turned 14 months.  

I tried for a cute photo shoot (I still have to post her 11 and 12 month!) but she was miserable yesterday.  Teething is kicking her butt.  Until last week, she only had her two bottom teeth and now her two top front have come through.  The other kids just woke up with all their teeth, it seemed, so this is new to us.  Daddy has become used to my need for these photos, so he tried to get her to smile for me.  Which is fitting, because she is so Daddy's girl.  If he's hone, she wants him.  If he's gone when she wakes up in the morning, she asks for him.  

He got her to crack a little, but not much!   Ellie has been walking like crazy the last couple of weeks and wanting to assert her independence. She can climb stairs really quick which is a surprise. She is so funny.  She will grab Adam's toys and run from him laughing.  He's soooo good with her he chases her around and plays the game. And she's talking.  She says Adam and the other night I taught her 'hat' just as simple as that as she was playing with one.  She's gotten so big.  

She's already stealing Abbey's necklaces and wearing them, this girl thing kicking in early.  And the other night at dinner I was going to tear up a roll for her but she reached in the basket and grabbed one and started eating it!  She has no interest in baby toys... Just stealing the big kid stuff. Which horrifies Abbey.  Her grin is amazing and she's pretty happy a lot if the time.  Growing up too fast....

Speaking of Abbey, this is the outfit she wore to Walmart.  She does look beautiful.  And she now loves to model for me.  So in trouble.
