My sweet little Eleanor Kate is now 1 year old! It is so hard to believe that a full year has already passed. Ellie is a true sweetheart. She brightens our days with her adorable and fun loving personality. She loves to laugh, play, keep up with her big brother and chase the cat around. She is learning so much and developing each day. She can say a few words....mama, dada, kitty cat, quack, dog, ball...and she's learning more all the time. She has taken a few steps here and there, and is perfectly capable of taking off any moment now, she just hasn't decided to yet! Ellie eats whatever we are eating. A few of her favorite foods are mac-n-cheese, grilled cheese, cheese quesadillas, cheddar cheese....ok, you get the idea! She also loves most fruits, spaghetti and is not afraid to try new things. Over the past month she's gone through a growth spurt and is currently eating more than her brother at most meals!
Ellie had her 1 year appt on the 4th. She impressed the Dr with her personality. During the exam Ellie just laughed and laughed with her hearty laugh that makes anyone who hears it smile! The Dr. commented that whenever she is having a bad day she wants to come and hang out with Ellie, as she's sure to be cheered up! Ellie checked out great. Here are her current stats:
20lbs 1oz (31st percentile)
29 inches long (50th percentile)
Just prior to Ellie's Dr's appointment, I took her to get her 1 year pictures taken. She wasn't so sure about the idea at first, but then they pulled out some stuffed animals and it was all smiles after that! She did GREAT. We had some amazing shots and I had a very hard time narrowing it down to just a couple to purchase. Here are a few of the pictures! Enjoy!
