Ellie:
- LOVES bugs. Daddy has a very expensive, very detailed book on bugs that Ellie will fall asleep with on a lot of nights because she LOVES looking at them. Needless to say the very expensive book is now wrinkled, ripped and some of the pages stick together (so I let her eat a PB&H sandwich while looking at it, ok?!)
- Loves squishing bugs
- Loves robots (what am I, raising a dude here?!)
- Dosen't love Ratatouille
- Is turning into the "Heather" of the relationship. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVED being bossed around by Heather growing up, and now I can see that in Ellie and Reese's relationship.
- Weighs 34.3 lbs
- Really, really hates getting flu shots
- When asked to clean she tells me she is "weally, weally tired" Ok, so maybe she is the "Hillary" of the relationship, I don't know.
- Is very loveable and gets excited by the simple things in life-flocks of birds, a butterfly, cheetos.
Reese:
- Also, LOVES bugs.
- Dosen't love squishing them though. That is where her Knightress in Shining Armor Ellie comes into play. Reese looks at Ellie like she just saved her life when Ellie squishes a potato bug that is meandering towards her general direction.
- Loves cereal-wants it every single morning within a minute of waking up. Yesterday I made it a special occasion and made pancakes. Reese looked at her plate and said "This isn't cereals."
- Weighs 33.3 lbs.
- Is definitly the tenderheart of the two...reminds me of someone...
- Loves to say "Look what I can do" and do random things like blink her eyes, smile big, or shake her head back and forth...we are so proud of her accomplishments!
- Is always saying "Just a little bit."-"I'm just going to go outside just a liitttllle bit" (the little is always drawn out) or I'm just going to eat Hershey syrup from the bottle a liiittttllle bit" It's adorable how she can justify anything with a "little bit."
- Loves telling people her name is Sissy Mondragon.
- Loves everyone and gives kisses, hugs and snuggles to prove it. Even to perfect strangers. Awww.
Taytum:
- Is walking, talking and getting into EVERYTHING!
- Loves to have her arm rubbed to get her to sleep. In exchange, when she is really tired she will rub your arms until you have matching Indian burns.
- Really, really loves her Papa. It may have something to do with the licorice he always has in his pocket, we're not really sure.
- Weighs 22 lbs
- Loves helping mommy unload the dishwasher. I will stand by the silverware drawer and she will bring me the silverware one piece at a time (I've removed the sharp knives before this takes place...what kind of a mother do you think I am?!)
- When anyone raises their voice around her (which NEVER happens in this house!) her little bottom lip automatically sticks out and she is ready for the tears.
- Loves bracelets, shoes, socks and phones...she is a true lady.
- Is the most cuddly bug around.
