Hey Elly...

...whatcha doin? "Only my new favorite game. You turn your back, I crawl as fast as a girl can crawl, get into the cupboard with the broken latch and pull out the Tupperware. What are you doin?"

Note to self...finish toddler proofing the house!!!

Hey...Two In Fourteen Months...

I'm callin' you out! It's been 5 months, the blogging world needs an update! Put down your Words With Friends and get busy :)

Mommy's Silly Monkey

After her big birthday party, Elly has been quite intrigued with all her new toys. She will discover a toy that she isn't familiar with, and for the next couple days it is her new favorite! Her flavor of the weekend...her new book, Eight Silly Monkeys, an obvious play on the classic bed jumping monkeys. This one ends with a twist...that crazy Doc never mentioned anything about the COUCH!! My silly monkey and I have gone over the book about a million times! Elly was sporting her new monkey jammies the other morning...perfect photo op :)

Hmmm...how many monkeys are spinning on the bed? One, two, three...

Thank goodness for Elly's Baby Signs movie. It gives me a good 30 minutes to clean up after breakfast and maybe even do my hair! She LOVES this movie and has actually started doing some of the signs! When she's in the right mood, I can get a "more" when she wants more cookies :) And the other day she did the sign for "milk"! I am loving this age! She is like a little sponge...soaking it all up. She is able to give a high five, point to my nose when I ask where it is, and twice now she has blown a kiss!

Not sure what this sign is...but it sure is a cute picture :)

Happy St. Patty's Day

Or otherwise known as, day after Elly's birthday :) Poor baby girl has had a rough couple of days. As I mentioned in my previous post, she has had a fever that just keeps popping back up! Thankfully she is quite pleasant when her fever is down, and when it is up Motrin or Tylenol does the trick. We have been to the Dr. 4 times in the last week and STILL don't know what the deal is! I know it is quite common for babies to have fevers but...104.1 is a little scary for this mama! Hopefully in the next couple days we will get it figured out.

After waking from her 2-1/2 hour MUCH NEEDED nap, Elly and I made our way outside to enjoy the gorgeous day...and snap a few pics of course! In case you haven't figured it out, Kris and I took the plunge and invested in a "real" camera! I have been having tons of fun and am starting to feel like a real photographer...it doesn't hurt having such a cute subject ;)

Eating a leaf I'm sure...

I L*O*V*E seeing those little teeth peeking through. It warms my heart!
