Houston, we have a crawler!

We knew it was just a matter of time.  Lucy has been really close for a few weeks now, and this morning she figured it out and began to crawl.  Brad and I have joked that she is super motivated because she wants to be able to escape the terrorizing hugs of her sometimes annoying big sis.  I am so glad my phone was nearby so I could capture the moment on video.  Here she is in action...

Lucy Pulling Up

Just since last week Lucy has learned quite a few new tricks.  All of a sudden she is sitting up on her own, pulling up on some things, and trying REALLY hard to crawl.  I don't think it will take her long at all before she is crawling after her big sister!

Good Intentions and a few Ellie-isms...

So I have grand plans to continue posting about our Disney trip, but have lost my steam.  Maybe someday soon I will get my act back together and finish what I started.  Until then here are a few of our favorite and recent "Ellie-isms"...

Instead of living room Ellie says "liden room" Even though she has been saying it this way for as long as she could talk it makes me smile every time.

Brad took Ellie to her first movie ever on Monday afternoon.  When they got home she told me they went to see the" Muffets"  She liked the movie, but I'm pretty sure her favorite part was the kids snack tray Brad got her consisting of lemonade, fruit snacks, and popcorn.

Today we picked up a themed bag of books from our library about community helpers and in it was a pack of, as Ellie told Brad when he got home from work, "puffets" or puppets, whatever. 

It's a good thing she's funny and cute, because it makes up for all the times I want to pull my hair out!
