Livin' with the Loud Lairseys: Been A While ... Ellie Edition

Elenor. Her spunk is starting to come back. She was quite a lively infant, and then she seemed to mellow out a bit as she started walking and talking. She was calm and peaceful, easy-going. But that change was only momentary! Ellie is a fun two year old. She loves to be loved on. She will always snuggle, sit in your lap, or give a great, big hug and kiss. She can be a bit whiney at times and can easily get her feelings hurt. She is tough and loves to play. She has lots of little friends she talk about from school or church, and I have heard from other parents, that their children talk about "playing with Ellie". She is easy to love. Ellie LOVES Mickey Mouse, well, really, she loves Minnie and Daisy. She talks NON-STOP about BOOMER from Kid Focus. (She is PETRIFIED of him, but always says she wants to "see Boomer" or "hug, kiss Boomer").

Ellie also wears size 2/3 clothes. She is a bit taller than Clara, but a bit thinner. Her belly doesn't have much of the "toddler pudge". Ellie loves "Monna-way" and "Chicken-fay" (AKA Monterrey and Chick-fil-A). She is very attached to her pacy, and still wants it clipped on before every nap and bedtime. Ellie does NOT love the water. She is very reserved and leary of "scary things". She'd much rather be on dry land, watching, running, and playing. Ellie loves to eat crackers, salad, and mashed potatoes. Ellie loves to sing and dance. She has a cute little dance where she puts her arms up at 90 degree angles by her face and rocks them back and forth. It's adorable. She crosses her arms up by her chest if she is upset about something she is telling you. Such a fun personality.
