Things that make you “squee”

The best big sister ever [VIDEO]

When Jack came along, Oma got Ellie a special book which we’ve all grown quite fond of. It’s called I am a Big Sister! by Caroline Jayne Church and it talks about how Ellie is now a big sister, is such a big help around the house and how we’re one big family now. I love the illustrations, but even more than that, I love that Ellie reads the book by herself and is adorable while doing so! Continue reading “The best big sister ever [VIDEO]”

“I love you too”

Ellie has started to be more interactive with her speech, forming shorter sentences and responding to questions contextually.

Our new favourite is without a doubt when we tell her “I love you” and we get the response “I love you too”.

Another adorable phrase which we haven’t yet been able to capture in audio is the response to when we sneeze: “Bless you Daddy!”.
