EAT!

It really is true that Ellen's first word, beyond da-da and ma-ma, was EAT. She said it all the time, in an appropriate way, mostly tugging on your pant leg to get some of your food. Now, just a few weeks later, she rarely says it ... only grunts and whines until you feed her.

This was after we got back from Hawaii. Kind of long, but funny (we think). Also, you can clearly see our parenting roles here: audience and disciplinarian.
