New Tricks

Ok, at this point, I can hardly keep up with all of Ellie's new tricks. And to someone who either has no kids, or quite a few, I'm sure these things seem like no big deal. But to me, her mom, the one who has been there from the beginning, it is the most fun and exciting thing ever.

So here's what we can do now.

Me: "What does the doggy say?"
Ellie: "Woof, woof, woof"

It really is darling.

A favorite for Ellie is throwing the ball. She's been honing her throwing skills for a while now (and I might add she's pretty good at it). But her newest trick is that she says "throw" while she's doing it.

And just this morning when Ellie saw those crunchy little orange crackers, what did she say??

Well, "fssshhh" of course.
There wasn't much "f", mostly just "sshh".

Yup, we've got a smart one.
(And no, I am not at all biased.)
