EVB: 5 Years + 1 Month

I know I said I'd likely post only photos for Ellen's monthly updates after she turned 5, and that's likely what I'll do most months since things are pretty status quo in the development/milestone department ... However, I've beenI've been thinking about how even though Ellen is such a young lady and getting bigger and wiser all the time, she has a special collection of words in her vocabulary that remind me she's still my little peanut.

I know I should probably be more diligent about demonstrating the proper pronunciation of these words for Ellen, but often times I just can't bring myself to correct her because it's so darn cute. Here are a few of my favorite Ellen-isms that continue to hold strong at 5 years + 1 month old:

• "granora" (granola) bar
• "ornamen" (ornament)
• Rice "Pipsies" (Krispies)
• "breftest" (breakfast)
• "birfday" (birthday)
• "smoovie" (smoothie)
• "pope" (polk)-a-dot
• "dhere," "dhem," "dhat" (there, them, that)
