Here is Ellie “flying” baby bear as a kite. She’s never not running (or talking).

A few weeks ago, we went to Deanna Rose with Ellie. She brought her “baby brother” Sweetie. I’ve thought this doll was a girl for years, but guess I was wrong.

Ellie had her first formal recital a few weeks ago. She was so brave (and adorable).

At the end of every school year, Ellie’s daycare puts on a little performance. Here, she is singing her heart out.

For her birthday, we threw a mermaid/pirate party. There was an epic treasure hunt. After her birthday party, my niece showed Ellie how to release balloons. I forgot how beautiful that can be. I’ll share more about it on the blog this month, but couldn’t resist including this preview here.
