Ellis is two!



Ellis is 2!  I can't believe it.  It seems like yesterday she was born and now she's running around walking and talking. 

At 2:
Ellis weighs 30.8 lbs
is 34 inches tall
wears size 3T clothes
Wears size 6 diapers
takes one long nap for an hour and a half


She is such a sweet girl!  She loves to sing lots of songs.  Her favorite song is "Twinkle Twinkle".  She can count to 14 in English and 10 in Spanish but she mostly forgets how to say 8 and 9 in Spanish.  Her favorite movie is Coco!  She would watch it all the time if she could. 






She loves to boss around her big brother.  She becomes a little parrot when I'm speaking to luke.  The following is a conversation with her:

Me calling to Luke: Luke!  Brush your teeth now so we can leave.
Ellis yelling:  Luke!  Brush your teeth
......
Me calling to Luke:  Luke!  put your shoes and socks on
Ellis yelling:  Luke!  shoes on!
......
Me calling to Luke:  Luke!  Let's go.  come on!
Ellis: come on come on come on
Me to Ellis:  Do you just like being a boss?
Ellis:  yes.

She is starting to get a little more attitude and defiant but she's not too bad.  Mostly she is super sweet.

Sweet 17 Months

Luke: weighs approx. 27 lbs not sure how tall has 8 teeth and one coming in wears size 5 diapers wears size 2T clothing wears size 6 shoes Takes 1 nap - approximately an hour and a half during the day Almost always sleeps through the night Someone asked me the other day what Luke was like.  I was a little taken aback because I couldn't find the words to say to explain him.  Mostly because he's such a complex little guy.  So in honor of his (almost) 17 month milestone, I thought I'd try to capture some of his essence.  Luke is such a bright ray of sun.  He is generally pretty happy and he loves to laugh.  And when he does he laughs way deep, down in his belly.   his big ole grin He also loves food.  There are so many times that I feel like there is no possible way he could STILL be eating.  But he keeps saying "more" and signing more.  he's a happy boy for food! He also likes to be scared.  Many hours are spent by running around a

Letters

some of these lines have been floating around in my head for several weeks now and they just came together tonight.  It's one of those things that I just couldn't get out of my head until I wrote it down.  letters written letters read letters from souls who are dead letters carved upon a grave letters are the things I save letters written on those lines letters penned from hands that are mine letters in a spot near to my bed letters memorized in my head letters inked upon my skin letters from a voice within letters with a sense of peace letters that are meant to ease letters written letters sent letters confirming what I meant letters ushering the peace I've found letters soothe my crying sounds letters containing things unsaid All I have are letters written letters read

2014 in review

Image
So I kinda like doing a review of the year going month by month.  Even if nothing spectacular happened.  Looking back at last year's review was tough.  But I see how far I've come in a year, and still how far I have left to go.      2014 was a tough year of grieving and moving forward with the new life that I have now.  My life is so different than it was a year ago, two years ago and three years ago.  Sometimes those days feel like a lifetime ago.   January 2014   Watched Luke teeter totter and FINALLY start to walk.  Watching him figure out the whole walking thing/ shoe thing was hilarious.  At first he acted like they were bricks and refused to walk in them.  He quickly got the hang of it though.  He also got his first real hair cut (besides being shaved bald at 5 months lol).  Big boy also turned 1!!!    1st hair cut    Baby boy turned 1 and LOVED cake
