Ellie is 17 months today and still refuses to stop growing! I wish I could keep her little forever but unfortunately that just not how life works. Despite my wish to keep her at a certain age, she grows and changes every day. She is starting to talk even more and put sentences together. I have a feeling that once she is really talking, I wont be able to get her to stop.

Ellie is now obsessed with cheese, to the point that when I cut her off we have full blown meltdowns. I do remember this phase with Abby as well. Ellie also loves blocks. She can sit for hours putting things together with her blocks and then taking them apart. Maybe we have an architect or an engineer in our future? I guess we will see! Ellie also follows Abby around everywhere and wants to do whatever she is doing. As a big sister I know this can get to be a bit much, but for the most part they are very loving to one another and Ellie is learning to do a lot because of her big sister and she is learning it fast too! Time flies and continues to march on. I look forward to the changes another month will bring.
