OK, Ellie's got some more things to say lately. She said "ice cream" after seeing a picture of a cone. (Plus she licked the card.) She's all over "owl." She also says "Frosty" -- not as in the frozen treat, but the snowman. OK, it's more like "Drosty," but it's Frosty. She's added "Oh no" to "Oh shoot."
She can pick out and identify Jesus in a picture -- I'm wondering if she's picked up on the fact that He's the center of attention in pictures. It must be something because there are usually six bearded guys in robes and sandals and she can pretty much always tell which one He is.
She's also doing pretty well at Memory, the upside-down card picture-matching game. She remembers about half the time where an upside-down card was to match the one in her hand.
And she's doing really well with puzzles too. She has some with animals and little knobs to hold, and some with squares, circles, etc. and no knobs, and some with letter or number pieces. And she's putting them in place really well.
She's also doing animal impressions (hissing like a snake, waving her arm like an elephant's trunk, flying like a bird).
She gives kisses and hugs on request.
And best of all, when I say "do you want to go nighty-night?" she kisses Mama goodnight, jumps into my arms to get carried upstairs, polishes off her bottle, gives me a hug, points to her crib, and goes to sleep. Just perfect.
I'm sure there's more -- it's really a whirlwind of development, too fast for us to keep up with. We're guessing (conservatively) that she's probably in the top 0.00000632% of most smartest babies ever.
