Boxes...the best toys.

Playing in this box kept Ellie entertained for hours!!! Well maybe not hours but for a very long time.  Jeff likes to come up with creative ways for them to play. Now she tries to climb into/onto everything - bottles, building blocks, drums and so on.

Playing at Grandma White's House

Very excited about seeing her name.

Shirley still has a handful of toys that were Jeff's (or one of his siblings) and Ellie was very excited to play with them - Jeff spent a good amount of time playing with them too.

Notice the "block" behind Ellie, that was made by her Uncle Mike in shop class (so I'm told).  This toy kept Jeff very entertained.

Go Hawkeyes!

Ellie throughout the year supporting the Hawkeyes - notice how big the onesie is in the first two pictures compared to a few months later...

Go Hawks! Yea!

Had to include this...Sophie is not Ellie's biggest fan, she generally tries to get out of Ellie's way - as you can see above.

And the cute little butt.

Go Bears!?!?

Grandpa and Grandma got Ellie an outfit...her dad let her wear it long enough to get pictures in :)

Go Vikings!
