Starting it up: Mid March Report

Hey everyone. So I'm a little better this time around about getting into here and updating everyone, far and near. This one is going to be pretty quick though. For my birthday, it started out with me finishing my first 5K ever! I was third in my age group with a time of 34:56. That's awesome for me because I was aiming for 36! We went out for a hearty breakfast after that then I slept all day while Ellie was taking her nap. I got some really great gifts. In the pictures, the flowers are from my mother and the chocolates are from a couple of my friends. In the evening, we dropped Ellie off at the babysitter's and headed out to Dave and Busters with 3 other couples. It was nice not having any little ones around.

Ellie's vocabulary is astounding to Tom and me. She has learned how to say "hawk," which is basically every bird she sees except pigeons, which are still "birds." She's running around all over the place and absolutely loves going to the gym with me because she gets to expend a lot of that energy there. She's also learning how to throw some major temper tantrums. But as soon as she hits the floor like you always see toddlers doing, she doesn't seem to know what's the next step. So she whines for about 2 secs and gets back up, and the tantrum is over. She's a pushy little girl now. Tom and she have gotten considerably closer in the past couple of weeks. It's great to see them play together! He's doing such an amazing job with her. He seems to be finding his niche with her, thank god!

Okay. That's it for me this time around. Enjoy the pictures!
