growing up!

ellington loves trying EVERYTHING in sight

she's always had a love for books, but her newest thing is to read it UP CLOSE

just checking out the fine print, i guess. or she already has bad eye sight like her mom and dad

the girl has no chance at having 20/20, seeing how i had glasses in kindergarten.

she also loves to draw - well scribble

and yes sometimes the crayons make it to her mouth, but then again she wouldn't be 19 months if they didn't, right??

she is growing up so fast and i know when october comes she'll seem even older with her little brother in the house. just recently she's grasped the concept that there is a baby on the way. that doesn't mean she understands her world is about to drastically change. just this week she moved into her new "big girl" room including a twin bed. surprisingly she's done really well with the transition.

we love you baby girl

don't grow up too fast!
