Two BIG firsts this week

I let Ellie color for the first time today. I was surprised she already knew how to hold the crayons. It is finally starting to feel like things are speeding up.

Other firsts: 
- Bought her first pair of BIG kid tennis shoes yesterday. They look just like adult shoes but with velcro.
- Can almost walk up the stairs by herself. Still needs to hold our hand since she those are big steps for er little legs.
- Walks around the house holding my old cellphone and pretending to chat with a friend.
