Ellie's Buddy

Ellie's LOVES her Buddy ... and he sticks pretty close to her too ... I thought they looked so cute hanging out, watching cartoons, in the playroom together ...

Things Ellie's Been Into This Week ...

Changing her Princess's diaper ... She is so funny when she does this ... I will hear her say ... "shoo-wee Princess"
Getting stuck in the dinning room chairs ... Can you tell she wasn't happy with Mommy because I went to get the camera ...

Drinking water out of the biggest water jug she can find ... Actually this is Daddy's water jug he takes with him to work ... but Ellie loves it ...
It's so big ... she looks so silly drinking out of it .... :)

Thanks For Coming To Visit Lindsey !

Cousin Lindsey came to visit last weekend ... we really enjoyed getting to spend some time with her ... we don't get to see her enough these days ... Thanks for coming to visit Lindsey ! And a SPECIAL THANK YOU for baby sitting and letting Mommy and Daddy go on a date ... those are soooo very rare these days ... we don't have family or baby sitters here in San Antonio ... so we just take Ellie every where with us ... which of course we love ... but that kind of rules out a quite dinner and movie ... We really appreciate it Linz ... and I know how much fun Ellie had with you !

Love ya girl ... Happy Birthday !

Giving kisses ...

Potty Training ...

Okay ... if you can't read this look ... this was her way of saying ... Mom... I was in the middle of playing with my babies ... why are you making me sit on this potty thing again ...

Well ... I know many of you other blogger Mommy's out there have already done the potty training thing ... but we just started ... I had always heard ... start at 2 ... so we did ... But I will say that Ellie doesn't want to be bothered with it ... she would much rather play ... Right now she is wearing pull ups and we are setting the timer to go back and forth to the potty ... and of course there is the reward of M&Ms or smarties ... So if any of you have any potty training techniques that you are willing to share ... I would love to hear them !
Big cheesy smile on the potty....

Not In The Mood For Pictures

Well ... We went out to dinner with some friends and Mommy thought she looked so cute ... and all I wanted was a quick picture ... but she was clearly not in the mood ...

Nana and Papa got her this cute outfit for Christmas ...
Once she got to ignore me and play with her animals .... she was fine ...

There's a cupcake on my shirt ... or as Cousin Tate would say "a muffin"

Snuggling With Daddy ...

Morning After The Party

The next morning Mommy made pancakes for everybody that was still here ... and as you can see, Ellie enjoyed them ...

Ellie had lots of fun playing with Chris ...

Playing Wii ...
