When Ellie woke up this morning, she demanded a book about gorillas (she did this by repeatedly banging her chest and making a Tarzan-ish call, then glaring at me pointedly). The problem was that Annie was asleep in the room with most of the books. I did the best I could, gathering every book I could find outside of Annie's bedroom that involved animals and Ellie was momentarily satiated, and she happily 'read' books to herself for awhile this morning. The happiness lasted pretty much 'til Annie also woke up and wanted in on the action. She had been thumbing through books, making all the animal noises and pointing out all her favorites, while giggling and laughing and having the time of her life. Then her big sister came in the room, and her attitude showed up and took over. (And look how sweet Annie is to her, just trying to show her stuff and teach her things. This is pretty true to life of most of their interactions lately.)
(Ellie keeps watching these videos, excitedly pointing and repeating gorilla sounds (pointing out the books), and the word "Lala" (which is Ellie speak for "Ellie.) She's just recently got very interested in pointing herself out by name.)
Ellie reading her 'gorilla' books. Check out how much hair she has now! Only took 19 months . . .
Annie, cheerful, despite her mild case of bedhead. :-)
After baths, both girls wanted to wear the new bathrobes that Uncle Cody had given them for Christmas.
Here's the back of Ellie's . . . she like a tiny pink prizefighter! :-)

Too cute! I like her prize fighter picture, and her sassy attitude. I do want to see her gorilla impression.
