A regular comedian

Now that I'm home all the time, your changes aren't as obvious.
What I mean is, you know when you're around someone so much that you don't notice when they get taller or skinnier or tanner? Just because they are always around? And then you go away for a day or two and you see them again with fresh eyes and you're like, who is this new tall, skinny, tan person?
That's kind of how it is with you and your tricks.

But today, you did so many new things, it's like you were saying "do not go away to realize I'm a funny kid, let me show you in a million different ways RIGHT NOW!!"

So within the space of 50 minutes you:

1. Climbed on the couch, like the back part, and sat like a queen atop your throne.

2. Before your bath, you pulled at your chest and said, "chi chis" which means boobies. I've said that word to you before, but you never acknowledged it or acted like you were listening. But today, you said chi chis.

3. You said "Patty." As in your Aunt Patty. But you still have not said Gima.

4. Daddy left his fancy black work shoes by the door. While we weren't looking you slipped them on your feet and started walking around the house as if it were the most normal thing in the world to wear GIGANTIC shoes.

5. You say "papas" (potatoes) with a very very cute Mexican accent.

Meanwhile, even though I'm with Ella 24/7 it's super hard not to notice her change.
Your sister is already wearing your three month-old clothes, stuff you couldn't wear until you were four or five months.

And she smiles and smiles and smiles. Even when you go rightuptoherface and scream "Ellabella!! Ellabella!!"
