Playin' and eatin'

Throw some sleep in there, too, and that pretty much surmises most of Ellie's days. We had a good weekend filled with all three of those... although Ellie certainly didn't sleep enough (or late enough anyway) to suit me and Brian. She was up at 4:30 a.m. today... ugh. Hopefully tonight she'll get some extra zzz's.
Here's some of Ellie's play around the house this weekend. Stacking cups with dad.
Oh, and she "ate" her first whole apple! Basically she took a couple bites off of it from me and then carried it around the house for the next 20 minutes and got lots of stuff sticky.

Oh, and here we were playing dress up with mom's scarf... and then she got sidetracked wanting a bite of dad's english muffin. Ellie has a bad routine going recently where she doesn't want to eat when she's in her chair. But amazingly she's hungry 10 seconds after we set her down, especially if she sees either of us eating anything for ourselves. We're trying to push eating in her chair... but we also give in (probably too often) and let her snack on the go because we want her to get enough food and try new things.
