Ellie is well on her way to becoming an all-American toddler -- she's eating Cheerios now! I'm actually so impressed because she can pick them up between her thumb and forefinger. At first, she couldn't figure out how to let go of the Cheerio once it was in her mouth, but she figured that out pretty quickly. It's so funny watching her "chew" them -- she basically just moves them back and forth in her mouth until they dissolve. By the way, Ellie doesn't really have a black eye -- I don't know why it looks so horrible in this video.
On her journey towards toddlerhood, Ellie has made a stop at separation anxiety. The poor girl cries when I leave the room, or even move to the other side of the same room. I always thought it would be fun to have a really cuddly baby, but I know now that it's impossible to get anything done! Thank goodness we have that little highchair that hooks on to the kitchen counter -- plopping her in there is the only way I can get meals together -- she loves sitting at the counter, watching me cook and clean up. Of course, what Ellie really wants is her friends and family to come visit so she always has someone to play with...so when can we expect you?

Wow! Cheerios! And right to the pincer-pickup... what a smart girl!
Oh, and I don't think it is Ellie's eye... there is a dark spot on your camera, like a spot on the lens! :)
