Big Laughs

We loved having company this weekend! Ellis invited over her buddies Emily and Ty, who brought with them their mom Kelly, my "oldest" BFF. Let's not say "oldest." Let's say the BFF I have known the longest. Kel and I met as babies in our church nursery! How sweet that our own babies can now play together, too. Kelly has been one of my greatest supports through our tough times with Ellis and I love her bunches! Watch this video to see how much Ellis loves them, too.

We hope they can visit again soon!!!

Also, Ellis reached another (not so) small milestone this weekend. For months I have been keeping a running list of the sign language words she knows and uses. Every time she masters a new one, I take joy in pulling up the list and adding on to it. I only count the ones she uses on her own without provocation. As of this weekend, she has 65 signs! Go baby go! I know I need to do a better job of taking video of these signs as well as all the other great things she does on a daily basis, so I'm making that my goal for this week. I hope to share some soon. By the way, number 65 is "rainbow." :)
