Ellie is officially walking!

Ellie's been taking steps now for a few weeks, ever since her first birthday. Usually she'll take a couple of steps, then get unsure of herself and sit down. But starting yesterday, she's been walking, truly walking, with more confidence. Here's a video of her walking across her play area

and her walking back again...

Ellie enjoying her new water/sand table

Courtesy of Uncle Henry & Aunt Jessica, Ellie got to play with her new water table. No sand because I think it's too messy for the moment. I think she had a great time, what do you think?

these shoes are way too big for her

Moving on to whole cow milk!

We are a little sad to say goodbye to good ol' formula because it was so convenient when we're out and about. But we're also so proud as Ellie accepts drinking only whole milk. Here's a video of her downing her milk in her new straw sippee cup (we tried giving her milk in a regular sippee, but she just looked at us like ,"what do you think you're trying to pull? This isn't water. Milk doesn't belong in the sippee!)
