Snap

Tonight at dinner Ellie was showing me how she can snap her fingers. Normally, she will hold her hand next to your ear so you are able to hear a faint snap. Tonight, she even surprised herself by making a loud snap. She had a giant grin on her face when she realized what she had done.

Big Sister Helping

Ellie is a great big sister.  She is always willing to help Cooper by putting a blanket over him, signing to him, cuddling and kissing or giving him back his dummy.

Ellie and Cooper

Ellie and I were playing in the playroom with Cooper getting a little mat time next to us.  Ellie took many pictures of Cooper with my camera and then finally let me take a few pictures of the two of them.

Headband

This is one of Ellie's custom designed headbands.

Update: Ellie has looked at this picture and remembers playing with the special ice cube in her drink.

Lego Swing

Ellie and I are always busy building Lego creations.  This day we set out to build a tree that ended up having a big bed to sleep 4 Lego people and stairs for them to safely reach their bed and the top of the tree.  Then Ellie came up with the idea of building them a swing and after a little trial and error, we have a Lego swing for all to enjoy.

Trampoline

Ellie has been taking trampoline lessens for a few months now.  She has really improved and knows 3 different types of jumps and the seat drop.

Swimming

Ellie can now swim 5 meters (16 feet) across the pool by herself unaided!
