Last week at dinner Ellie participated in grace for the first time.  We always hold out our hand to her, but she never wants to hold it.  Last week she reached for my hand and held onto it.  We were very excited.

Tonight she not only reached for my hand and tilted her head, but joined us as we said “Amen!”

In other Ellie developments, her favorite word is ‘ut oh” and she’s now constantly pointing at things and asking “whazzat?”
