An Update!!

Finally I have an update on what has been going on in our lives recently! Ellie started her physical therapy about a month ago and it really seems to be helping. She will "stand up" holding onto the coffee table, but you have to be right there because she is not sturdy and starts tipping over after about 20 seconds. She will only stand there if there are toys or food. :) Her left foot rolls to the side when she stands up which they think is just because her left leg is not as strong as the right. For those of you who have seen her crawl you know that her left leg stays in the air, so I don't think she has exercised that leg enough. I bought her some hard soled shoes so hopefully that helps. We also work on climbing the stairs and going down the stairs throughout the day. She is getting better so I'm beginning to see the light. :) I'm just crossing my fingers that one day she will see that same light and decide to get up and walk!

I took her to her 15 month check-up the other day and here are her stats:

Length: 31 3/4 (75%)

Weight: 21 lbs. 10 oz. (25%)

Head: 45.5 cm (25%)

Everything is pretty much the same, but she dropped down in weight.

Now on to the good stuff...pictures!!

294 I love this picture because I think she looks like a tourist.

299 I took her to the park yesterday and she discovered that she LOVES the swings!! The sun was totally in her eyes, but this was the face she gave me every time she was close to me. She was laughing and saying, "Wee!" the whole time.

296 297 I know I've said it before, but Ellie LOVES Marie's girls/cousins. (She also loves Mac & Cheese which is what is on her hand.) :)
