I get it! I understand what you're trying to tell me. You tell me to sit and I sit down. You tell me to open the lid on my toy box and I open the lid. This learning a language stuff isn't easy but I'm starting to understand more and more words every day. I've also started to call for Mama when I need something and Dada when I want to play. Or I choose to use those words when one parent isn't doing something I like and I want the other parent to "do something" about it. I'm smart like that you know ;)
Other words that I can understand include "down, up, open, close, sit down, fan, ball". I'm sure there are more but I can't think of the others just now. I'll save those for another post.

Kisses...Sweet Kisses
I received my first Ellie smooch on Tuesday. Although it was the baby kind (open mouth and licking you kind), it was such a nice reciprocation of love. After all these months (10 today to be exact), you wonder if they have any kind of affection for you as much as you have for them.
And the best part, was that it was at our last minute doctors appointment to check out a potential ear infection. It almost felt like she was saying "Thanks Mom for taking me to the dr's because I'm not feeling well." I think this because we've been trying to get kisses from her for awhile to no avail (remember the crawling thing... same deal). But out of no where, while waiting to be seen by the dr, I asked for a kiss... and got one!!!!
We're behind in our monthly pictures. We did take the 9 month ones. So this month with hopefully be a double feature and we'll post both sets.

Mobility!
As previously posted, Ellie has had little interest in crawling until the trail of Cheerios was laid a few weeks back. In the continuing saga, we have a fully functional crawler sans-Cheerios. Within the last few days she is up on the hands and knees motoring around, then sitting on her butt and then back on the hands and knees for more exploring. She's even pulling herself up to standing. That's where she really wants to be...you can tell that if her little being could, she'd be walking.
Other skills acquired this week. She is now actively associating words with actions. She had a rattle in her hand and I said to shake it... and she did! She also waved bye-bye when asked to (although this is still an only when Ellie wants to action).
Poor thing isn't feeling great this morning so we're waiting for the Dr to call back. But it won't spoil the long weekend. It's family play time! Happy 4th of July everyone!!
