The Searle's Stories

This crazy kid of ours turned two! I can't believe it! We had a little party for her before we moved. Just having her grandparents and cousins come was a treat enough for her. She is obsessed with pirates, so we had swords and hooks for all.

She loved having her cousins come play and thought her own ice cream cone was the coolest.

There are quite a few things that I could say about this girl. She has such a personality! She can be so outgoing and the next minute extremely shy. Most of the time she likes people and saying hi or smiling at strangers in the store. Yesterday she did something that surprised me, with a room full of kids she just stood back and watched them play and was perfectly content to be on the side lines. She is already an amazing big sister to Katelyn and loves having her sister do anything that she is doing. She talks a lot, especially since we got rid of her pacifier. She loves to dance around the living room while listening to music and gives a mischievous grin when she is doing something she knows she is not supposed to. She does silly things on purpose and laughs so loud as she's doing them, today it was walking around the house in my shoes.

I feel almost silly writing this, trying to explain miss Ellie because there are not even words to describe this girl. She is spunky and fun and sassy and frustrating and fearless and timid and everything else all at the same time. She is everything. She's obsessed with pirates and Christmas lights and playing hide and seek. She is stubborn as can be when it comes to food and lets you know that she knows the word NO. She likes to use her hands  to color and play with stickers and tickle her dads back and arms. If you are on the floor she thinks you are her personal horse and screams as she jumps on your back in excitement. She scowls when shes angry and asks for a tissue when she cries to wipe away her tears. She's a ball of personality that cannot be described in words. But we sure do love her. Every quality she possesses, her concern for others when they are crying and her constant need to let her dad know that she loves him when he is home. 

This two year old Ellenor... what did we get ourselves into with this one?!
