First Day of School...Pre-School.

She went straight for the kids and started playing. Didn't look back or say good-bye. The report was that she shared really well, napped well, and was as smart as a tack. When I asked her if she wanted to go back to school tomorrow, she answered with a big giggle!

Friends.

Who's driving?

Zoo Day!

Her 1st Set of Wheels.

Houston Rodeo

Today we went to the Houston Livestock Show with Aunt Candice and we all had a BLAST!
Ellie went on the Pony Ride TWICE and LOVED it! This horse kept talking to her and Belle talked back.

She also petted all the animals in the Petting Zoo and cried when it was time to leave. Poor baby was never quite fast enough to pet the chickens.

What could make Ellie this happy?

A Kitty Cat. NOT ours, he is the neighbor's cat. And we have to find him everyday.

What 'cha got in your pocket?

Ellie got a Sock Monkey!

Our friend, Robin, knitted this sock monkey, and his hat, and his scarf, and his backpack, and a banana too! Ellie loves to carry him around!

Outside.

Always more interested in the fun stuff on the ground than the toys.

The Party!

She didn't get as messy as I thought she would. I think she liked her Monkey Cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE!

Happy Birthday Ellie! Her 1st balloon.

And this is the card I made and sent in to Sprout.

Poor Baby. She has had her teeth for only three weeks and today she fell and chipped two teeth.

A wonderful morning with Papa and pancakes!

Happy Father's Day!

Check out this cool video of Baby Bell giving Daddy a kiss.

Ellie's Three Teeth.

Today, as I was tickling my sweet little girl, I caught a bit of sparkle and white. Not on the bottom like I've been checking for the last few months, but on the TOP! Not one, not two, but three! This little girl has been teething and I did even know it. She has not been drooling or fussy, her naps have been perfect. The only funny thing she has been doing is sucking her cheeks in making a fish face for about a week. Her smile will never be the same!

11 Months Old

Look Mom...No Pants!

My Fishes!

Blue Eyes

Cabana Baby

Ellie had the BEST time swimming for the very first time.

She quickly fell asleep in the pool and napped for a good 30 minutes.

That's the life!!
