So, this has become one of my favorite pictures of Ellie in the recent months. You can tell by the date that it was the day before her second birthday, so we’re going a little out of order here, but i just got these pictures from my mom. My lesson of the day – start carrying my camera everywhere i go. Blogging just makes me want to take pictures of everything!

We were having brunch with Grandma and Grandpa at Dave’s in Charles City…and I got Ellie a french toast stick with a little bit of syrup in the bowl as “dip” (my kid has to have “dip” on everything, and everything serves as dip!) You can see which part of that breakfast she liked the best.

I’m proud to say she got every last drop…except the ones that were running down her chin.
You can also see in the background, her partially eaten donut (and it’s mostly frosting that’s gone)
Love that girl!
