Look at this face:
Does it look like the face of a manipulative, aggressive, kleptomaniac? She’s Ellie Simcik, Leo's one and only first cousin. And according to him, she is all of these things.
When we vacationed in Virginia Beach last week with the family, Leo accused 9-month old Ellie of all kinds of crimes. We heard allegations such as:
“Baby Ellie is trying to knock me down!” (When she pulled up on the chair he was sitting on).
“Baby Ellie is pushing me!”
“Stop hitting my daddy!”
“Baby Ellie took my trains!”
“Baby Ellie took my Ernie!”
We also heard the following two sentences several times: “I don’t like Baby Ellie” and “Go away, Baby Ellie.”
The only thing Ms. Ellie was actually guilty of? Being adorable and forcing Leo to share some of the attention.
Luckily, she is forgiving and the two of them had some good cousin bonding time:
Leo introduced Ellie to the wonders of trains. (Shhh…don’t tell…she played with them while he was napping.)

Helpin’ a cousin out…
Hoarding Ernie and Elmo so Ellie couldn’t get them.
Cameras again? Can’t we just play in peace?
Cousins Cooking!
Yes, Elmo is mine!!

Ellie had so much fun playing with Leo!! I love the look on her face when she finally got Elmo. She's like "I worked so hard to get him, now what do I do?!?"!
Simply the 2 most adorable cousins I've ever seen. Most of the time I was very proud of how Leo & Ellie interacted -- despite the two-yr-old moments.
That Ellie is quite an advanced little lady, and gorgeous too!
Just wait until she can actually walk, Leo! :-)
Baby Ellie is such a cute little mini-Laura! Laura, not calling you a klepo...just saying she looks so much like you!
Leo has not uttered the words, "I don't like Baby Ellie" since we got home. In fact, she is always a a passenger on his pretend train!
