Elli turns 6.5 years old on July 26th and is such a fun, sweet girl!
Elli continues to be our best eater out of the three kids. She is often one of the first done at the dinner table and is really good about trying different things. We've recently discovered she likes beef jerky and finished a bag within one sitting. She isn't a huge 'sweets' person and often will pick ice cream over cake.
Elli continues to take after Scott in personality and sleep habits! She tends to be a morning person and is extremely chipper the moment she wakes up! We've had a rule this summer that she isn't allowed to get up before 8 and it has helped her sleep in some! This morning she didn't wake up until 8:50!!
Elli loves movies and watching T.V. She also loves doing crafts. It isn't uncommon for her to write Scott or I notes or make us cards during the week! She enjoys dressing up her American Girl dolls, but her most treasured toys are stuffed animals! She will often make beds for them and takes good care of them!
To date, Elli has lost 3 bottom teeth! She's getting good at pulling them out when they are ready and loves seeing what the tooth fairy brings her in the mornings.
Elli continues to love animals and considers Bella one of her best friends. She takes such good care of her and loves her with everything she has. She's always thinking of her! Elli helps us feed her, take her on walks and gives her popsicles on a hot day!
Elli pretty much gets ready on her own these days. She always has to brush her hair before we go anywhere, loves to put on some lipgloss, and has to take a peek in the mirror before we leave the house. She is pretty picky when it comes to what she wears and always seems to have a headband in her hair. She's counting down the days until she can get her ears pierced!
I can't even put into words how extremely blessed we are to be Elli's parents. She is so loving, sweet and kind. She often thinks of others and is usually very willing to help. She is social and a people pleaser. Elli is rarely in a bad mood and loves being around people! She can carry on a conversation with anyone! Everyone says she looks just like me, but I think she's got her Dad's personality!
