Ellis

Ellis is a happy, easy-going, second born kiddo. He’s inquisitive and wants to take things apart just to put them back together in his own way. He’s always quietly observing what’s happening around him. Ellis is eager to learn new words and show you what new skill he’s perfected. He loves to cuddle mommy and stare into your soul with his baby blue eyes.

Ellis loves to follow Rhett, his 3 year old brother, around like a little diapered shadow. They love space and build planets and rocket ships with Magna Tiles daily. He’s usually the one to destroy whatever structure his brother has built and does so with his signature laugh. Ellis loves story time. He will hand you the closest book and say “Open book. Read it!” He climbs and rolls likes he’s trained with Cirque du Soleil. Ellis loves to watch Elmo, Ms. Rachel and FaceTime his grandparents.

When Ellis was 6 weeks old he was hospitalized due to bleeding internally from severe food allergies. What followed was an intense period of medical tests, doctors, and trial/error with my diet because I was so determined to keep nursing. While he has outgrown several of the allergies, he’s not out of the woods yet. The $25,000 would assist with his dietary needs, help to offset medical bills, and fund his 529 savings account for whatever path he chooses as a happy and healthy adult!
