Ellie is really picking up the names of her loved ones right and left, and it cracks me up. Right now, she's got mama, dada, Lulu and Rah-rah (Rocky) as well as "Sah" for Sara. After much prompting she's also begun to call Grizz by Dizz. This leaves out poor Grams, who puts up with her crap AND my crap every day. Poor thankless Grams. But I realized the other day that she's started making a specific noise every time she sees a picture of Grams - she says Maw. I wonder where that comes from, because she's not even trying to say the G, and we call her Grams, not Grandma. Then I wondered if she's calling her Maw because she hears Sara and I call her mom all the time. Time will tell. The other fun thing is that after some great skyping the other day, she started calling Grandma Rosie "Ro," and has continued to do it when we look at pictures. The funniest thing was yesterday while I was cleaning the kitchen, Tim and Ellie were looking through her baby photo albums, and Ellie started yelling out "Lah!" and pointing at the picture of her friend Lexi. We have a date with Grandma and Grandpa tonight, and I'm interested to see if she starts trying to call them by name.
Last night we had a great baby party. One of the ladies just moved into a new house, and they have a great backyard for playing. Now that most of the kids are walking, it's like observing a bunch of wiggly puppies together. They go and wrassle with each other, steal each other's food, but thankfully don't bite each others ears.
...Then Ellie stood up, started crying and begged to be picked up.
