Ellis Video Update

In Ellis news, he is finally LOVING books and movies. He didn't used to have any interest in them. I am just SO happy that he will snuggle up with me on the couch and read books. It's my favorite time with him right now! Here is a clip of us reading Ellis' current favorite book, a phonics reader that someone gave us because it is called Let's Read with Jen & Ben. You really should watch this clip just to see how excited Ellis gets about this book. It's hilarious.

Next, he has finally caught on to the idea of sitting in front of the TV watching Baby Einstein. We try not to abuse this, but it really is nice to be able to take a shower while Ellis is awake!

Okay, so maybe we do abuse it. Because the new update with Ellis on the eating front is that he will gladly eat his baby fruits and veggies and Greek yogurt (twice the protein for the kid who doesn't eat meat!), but ONLY if his high chair has been wheeled in front of the computer and he is watching videos of himself. "Ellis Shows!" He will now eat non-graham-cracker-foods under NO other circumstances. But just watch how happy he is, eating his yogurt while watching a clip of himself eating sweet potatoes while Ben sings "Slippery Fish." Kind of mind-boggling. I guess there's no question as to who wears the pants in this family [hint: he also wears the diapers :) ].
