Two-and-a-Half

Three years ago, I was in the middle of two back-to-back business trips, to be followed by an amazing Hawaiian vacation. Ahhhh. Of course, I was carrying my Paul-made portable "morning" sickness bag with me everywhere I went and collapsing on the couch from exhaustion every evening. But I tried not to let it show!

This year, Ellie's two and a half today. Here are some recent shots to mark the occasion:

I call this the Grover series, for obvious reasons:


Here she is, as toddler model and businesswoman:


And, finally, doing serious work with The Map:

I always want to say, "Thank you!" to that, but it's not actually a compliment for me. So instead, I'll say, "I think so too!"

Oh, and thanks. :)

Two and a half years?! Already?! Time is flying. The pictures are amazing. Ellie is SO cute and SO cheery, and I think I want to hang a copy of the toddler model pose in MY family room. (Is that weird, since I've never met her?)

She's SO adorable! And I love the picture of Ellie with Backpack and the Map!

I'm the Map.
I'm the Map, I'm the Map, I'm the Map.

I'm THE MAP!!!!


(Better than "Backpack, backpack!"? Maybe.)

Beautiful is right.

But--she's already on the cell phone. Egads! Hope you've got a good plan. :)

I think a cuteness warning might be in order here, so your readers can shield their eyes from the huge cute factor in those photos.

She is so obviously happy, I can't help but grin when I see those photos.

Too stinkin' cute! And she loves the camera-what a girl!

Angela, the only part that's weird is that I've never met Meredith or Harper and you've never met Ellie. In 3 years! Now, that's weird.

But Ellie was totally not in a cheery mood for this photo session. Some of the pictures were cranky or solemn, and I like them all the more for that. Normally Ellie is a real ham for the camera.

I agree, Camera, Jessica, PPB, RNP, Krupskaya and Kairos! But thank you for saying so.

And, yes, she's already a little phone addict. It's amazing.

MikeStand, we are so *totally* into Backpack over here. The song sends her through the roof, especially on the CD. Which is lost. And I didn't do it on purpose! Honest!
