Ella has grown very tall. She is almost as tall as most 2 year olds. She's running everywhere. Her favorite game is peek a boo, which she would play with me all day if I could stand it. She would also watch Teletubbies all day if I would let her. I've seen the animal episode 1057 times. UGH.
I've started tutoring two afternoons a week. It's nice to use my teaching skills again. Ella spends Monday late afternoons while I tutor with Daddy and Thursday she spends with the neighborhood babysitter Sami. Thank goodness I finally I have a break from grad school for the next month. I feel like I'm running all day and too busy. Ella and the housework are a full time job. You throw in full time grad school and tutoring in there and its becomes over-time.

She did WHAT?
Ellie had her 15 month appointment at the doctors this morning. The doctor said she "LOST weight!!!!!?!" What? She has never lost weight! She was always weighing in the 90% percentile. She actually lost .5 lbs since her 12 month appointment. I'm not worried. My child will eat anything under the sun. Yesterday she ate 15 (yes 15) chicken steamed potstickers for dinner. Then she had a banana before bed. A whole one. Her favorite word is bapple (apple!) and she can constantly be seen eating one, peel and all. notice the picture below. (you can see it in her mouth, eww.) She is still in the 90% percentile for height, she's headed towards giantdom like her uncles.

sigh: target portrait studio
So I got the whole family ready for the portrait dragged them unwillingly to Target, (picture dragging a 15 month old and a football loving guy during the middle of the game). I fixed Ella's hair three times, changed her diaper on the way, fought the change of outfit, only to get there and wait 30 minutes past my scheduled time. The waiting room was filled with unruly and whiny toddlers (including my own! all in keeping with the holiday spirit. These better be the best pictures ever. At least the Target lady felt sorry for me and gave me 3 free sheets of pictures.
