Except for the puking...

Well, if we could just figure out why Ellie keeps throwing up, we'd be doing great.  For the last few days, she's acted completely healthy and normal, and then she surprises us by puking when we least expect it.  Grr.

Here's Ellie enjoying her toys.

Here's some pictures of Ellie playing outside.

Happy Spring Break!

Ellie loves her juice!

Ellie loves stacking soup cans! She could care less about her blocks.

Well, Ellie is still on her pattern of ear infection, antibiotics, a few good days, and then another ear infection. This is her second one since having tubes put in a month ago.   At this rate, I'm going to run out of sick days at work.  Very frustrated.  Grr.

Finally toddling all over at 16 months!

As Ellie's latest prescription of antibiotics kicked in, Ellie has felt good enough to work on her walking skills again. She still falls down fairly often, but for the last week and a half, she's finally started toddling all over!

When walking was just a novelty--and she only walked when Dave and I were on the floor holding our arms out in encouragement--she thought it was hilarious when she lost her balance and fell down. Nowadays she gets really mad when she loses her balance and falls. She hits the floor and bites the carpet. We've never seen her get so frustrated with herself before! But she's working really hard at trying to step over small obstacles without losing her balance. So hopefully she'll be running around the house like a pro soon. (Wait--did I really just wish for that?)

I can't get used to seeing her walking! My little baby isn't a little baby anymore! She is a cute, cuddly, courageous, curious, cantankerous little toddler, and I love her more every day!
