Ellie turned 10 months today. 10 Months. That means only 2 months until she is a year old! So much changes so fast. I swear the time with Ellie has gone a lot faster then it did with Abby. How is that? I guess its because I have my hands full with both girls. While I am sad to see her grow up so fast, I look forward to the next 14 months. With Abby, I completely enjoyed the time between 10 months and 2 years old. Ellie is almost a toddler and I really love the toddler years. So much changes and our little ones start doing things for themselves. Its amazing!

Ellie is talking a lot, well with baby babble, although I swear every now and then I hear something that sounds like a word. She is also starting to sing, which is really some very sweet to see. Always makes me smile, especially when I need it the most. Ellie is also standing for long periods of time and she is so close to taking steps. You can see she wants to do it but hasnt quite figured out how to do it. I have a feeling she will soon though.

It seems as though Ellie has settled in well after the move, although we dont have much time to adjust. In just a few days we take off for Montana! This will be Ellie’s first roadtrip with just mommy and Abby. I know, people think I am nuts but I am completely comfortable with it. I have a feeling Ellie will be taking her first steps on this trip. I guess we will have to wait and see.
