The plea.

In the days after Peyton's birth Ellee has gone from toddler baby to logical thinking and reasoning toddler.Impossible you say. Really though, in no uncertain terms she has been "reasoning" with both Matt and I about things. Whether it be why she got a spanking or for more juice. As was the scene tonight at dinner. She has had some issues finishing any meal and eating in genreal. Nothing these days is good enough for her belly. So we do not offer her any sort of milk or liquids with her meal until she has eaten a couple bites of food.  Just think about a 17 month old reasoning though. Yupp, hilarious! :)

On top of her plea for juice with dinner, we had our little "christmas" on Tuesday. I love presents! But since having children I love even more giving them presents and watching them open their gifts. It was soo much fun!!!!!!!! She loved her little ponies and dolly and off course got her something that can "go go". This little parking garage with cars and an elevator, and the cars spiral down and come flying out. Really cute, and she loves it.

We've had so much activity happening after Peyton has been born. Mostly because we have so much awesome family that has come to visit us and help us out!!

 We took my sister and brother in law up the sears tower. It will forever be the sears tower even though its changed to the willis tower.

 This was out on the glass floor ledge. Ellee was actually scared!!!

 Yes shes bawling, while we sit on the glass floor...mean mommy.

 We tried to see if she'd walk, nope. terrified. I was surprised at how aware she was that we were high up!

 Delicious lunch at buona beef!

 And of course made it to the mall for some play time :)
