15 months






In a bit of an update Ellen (wearing blue) and Sophie (wearing pink) are 15 months now. Ellen is walking pretty sturdily, but Sophie holds on to our hands and has us walk her around to get where she wants to go. They both enjoy the playground now that they're mobile and familiar with steps and they squeal excitedly at the sight of the swings (I remember not too long ago when they hated the swings). We got out to the park recently and had a great time exploring and playing all together! They have very few words (maybe 2? seriously!) but know exactly what we are saying to them and follow simple directions with no problem. The girls seem a little more into each other lately, too. They'll pat each other, eat each other's fingers or toes, wrestle, or just giggle at one another in some secret language. Their personalities continue to be pretty different--Ellen seems to be more of a risk taker. Sophie is deep in the heart of MAJOR separation anxiety. They have super curly hair, more teeth every week or two (it seems) and Ellen still has a pound and a half on Sophie. Life is full these days, but as busy as ever!

How fun to see Ellen and Sophie exploring! And Ellen going down the slide by herself -- wow! A big girl, for sure.

I can't get enough of those pretty blond curls. I think they come from Daddy and Pop Pop.
