I LOVE this girl

This girl has just been cracking me up lately! She is learning so fast and doing so many things. Here are a few...
Her 4 molars are all coming in at THE SAME TIME!! Yuck!

Our neighbor's dog's name is Riley, so she goes around the house all day long calling his name, and now calls most dogs "Riley"
She holds EVERYTHING up to her ear and "answers" it... "Hello?"
Mike blew rasberrys on her belly and then told her to do it to me too. At first she was just blowing her nose on my belly, but then she actually blew with her mouth. We were cracking up so she kept doing it repeatedly.
She has learned how to get on our dining room chairs, and so now she climbs on the table too.
She is still going strong with the whole nursing thing. I'm glad too because I love my cuddle time with this girl.

Ellie throws all the food off her tray while she's saying. "no, no, no". Then she looks at the food on the ground and says, "no, no" and "uh-oh." (Any tips on how to stop this fun ritual? I've tried lots of things; taking the food away, putting her in a "food time out," feeding her myself - none have worked)

She RUNS everywhere and loves to be chased.

At every little noise around the house Ellie says, "Daddy?" and goes around looking for him. She LOVES her daddy.

She loves to put towels around her neck like this, and also loves to put on necklaces.

Ellie loves to look at her pictures and videos on the computer and on the blog AND all the other babies and kids on your blogs!

She has started hiding things behind her back then says, "is it?" (Like "Where is it", she just can't say "where")

What a beautiful grown-up girl she is now. As for the food on the floor, I have no idea. Good luck with the teething thing.

What a cute girl she is! I love the things they figure out (her "is it?" and blowing rasberries). So fun!! That's really cute how she goes looking for her Daddy all the time. Maddie did the whole throwing the food on the ground thing too. Isn't it so annoying?! I started making her get up and pick up every single thing she threw and put it back on her tray herself. Then I'd put her back in her seat again. If she threw it again, then I'd make her pick it up again and put it back up, and this time she'd be done. That way she learned that sure, she could throw it on the ground, but then she had to pick it up herself. I don't know if that's what finally made the difference or if she just grew out of it, but she's finally out of that stage (thank heavens!!). Course now she's in to spitting her food out-fun. Don't know what I'll do about that one. Good luck!
