Ellis and her baby

My baby has a baby! Well, not really, but I caught Ellis doing the most adorable thing with her baby doll. She was rocking her in her arms, burping her and “sssshhhhing” her to sleep. What a big girl. She must be excited about the coming arrival of her cousin in Holland! Her play and language have developed so much in the past month. She sort of calls the cats by name “Ma” (Max) and “My” (Meisje), says No and Nee, along with a handful of other words. My favorites are “cheese” and “shoes”. I can’t wait to see and hear what she’ll do next.
