I think starting with her first bath, EM and I have talked to Ellie about "the baby in the mirror" as we'd hold her up in front of the bathroom mirror so that she could look at herself. Over time she's grown to recognize herself as the baby in the mirror and she's always enjoyed looking at herself in that setting. Well, in the last few weeks as her awareness of things has really started to blossom, she's more and more interested in her image. For example, we have a collage of Ellie pictures and, of course, this blog. So whenever we're near the collage or the computer, we ask Ellie "where's the baby?" Instantly (if not sooner), her eyes light up, she gets a big smile and she points at her image (be it on the computer or in the frame). It so fun to watch. It is a form of vanity, I guess. And I guess that isn't really a thing to be celebrated, but in this case I'm sure you all understand.

This is a little part of cyberspace that two proud parents are carving out in an effort to celebrate all things pertaining to their baby girl as well as her baby brother, Colby.

In the words of the great Carly Simon, "You're so vain, you probably think this BLOG is about you, don't you?"
I say, when you're as cute as Ellie, you can stare at yourself...the bad thing is, sometimes they don't grow out of this....think AK!! Ha ha!
