Dad got sick today and went to work but came home again. He is really sick. I hope he gets better soon cause he didn't play with me at all today. Why not?

This morning me and mom went to Alexis and Evan's house to play for a little bit. I think my mom and their mom are friends. I don't know how that worked but we had fun. There are lots of cool things to climb on there, they have a fireplace and chairs and tables and so much stuff that I have not climbed on. It was great!

Mom woke me up early this morning, something about I needed to nap on the way to a car show in...........(I'm thinking)........Somerset, KY. So I was such a good girl for mom cause she was really nervous about taking me so far away. But I got in the car about 10 o'clock and in my seat and went straight to sleep for a my mid morning nap. I slept most of the way there. This is me after I woke up. How could anyone tell this face no?

This is a picture of one of the trucks Dad liked. He took a whole bunch more pictures of cars but I am cuter so we'll stick to looking at me!
I was so good. Mom brought "the wagon" aka my new favorite thing EVER! And when we got there we got a shady spot, mom spread out my blanket and got my toys out. I had a blast! I mostly enjoyed playing in the wagon with my toys and climbing on the seats.

This is my new scrunched up face. I just learned how to do it and it makes everyone around me laugh. I scrunch my face up and blow out my nose really fast. Mom says I'm going to blow a booger out but I don't know what that is. What is a booger?

Anyway back to my day...I did so good. I had to nap in the truck but mom read a book while I slept and so it was fine with me. We went out to dinner with a bunch of people and it took a good while for them to eat but while they were eating I was making them a surprise. Heather found it! So mom and Heather took me out to the truck to clean me up. I was a mess!

After dinner they put me back in my seat and the next thing I knew I was at home, mom picked me up and put me in my bed and my car show adventure was over!

While Mom was putting dishes away I found this neat little box that I fit in perfectly! It was made for me!

It's hard to get out of.
To the naked eye it appears I am drinking out of a sippy cup. FOOLED YOU!!! I just like to chew on the sippy cup, no drinking here! I still like mine straight from the tap--Thanks MOM!!!

I got a new wagon today! At first I did not want to get in but once Mom pulled me around the driveway a few times I started to like it A LOT!!!

After a few minutes I had my feet propped up and was laughing so hard I almost couldn't hold on. This is great!



I wasn't really waving but mom snapped the picture as I was moving my hand and she thinks I look so big in this picture.

Thank Goodness Daddy got home! I thought I was going to have to call Nina or Grandmamaw to rescue me, mom was about to go crazy!

Dad is on vacation this week and today I was so busy! My friend Sabrina came over this morning and we played like we never have before. She talked to me and handed me toys and I took toys from her, mom says I need to work on sharing (I don't know what that is). Then later in the day Jessica came over to see me. My sister Emma liked her a whole lot today. I had just got up from my nap when Jessica got to my house so I still liked mom a whole lot. But I did show her my new "OOOOHHHHH" sound. I curl my lips together and make it all the time now. Then after dinner we went to see my boyfriend Andrew!!! He is starting to get ready to crawl like me. He is so cute.

Busy day...

July 19, 2008

Well last night Mom gave me a bath and let me tell you, she is not the best shaker! I mean I guess she did her best but it was nothing like what dad does.

Me and Mom were busy today. First we went to this school place to cut out rubber ducks for my... (thinking) birthtime, no, birthbath, no, birthday, yes, yes, my birthday party! Then we went to Kohl's to return some stuff. After naptime this fun girl named Sarah came over and played with me for a little while and we went shopping.

After that I tried to sleep on the way home but only slept maybe 30 minutes before we got to the next stop at a party with all these people and kids and swimming. Mom didn't bring my bathing suit so she put me in the pool in my diaper. How disgraceful! All those people got to see my baby boobies! Anyway, we had fun, mom went home and got her swimsuit so she could swim too! I met this lady that was nice named Tracey, mom said something about her playing with me when she goes back to work, I don't know what she is talking about.

Went to bed tonight and still no dad! Mom says only 3 more sleep times before I see him again. Please hurry home daddy!

Dad left today for the weekend :( I tried to go with him but I didn't fit in his bag. He said I was too big :( (cry, snub, snub, cry)

I am going to try to make it through this weekend with only mom to play with. I mean who is going to shake me dry when I am done with my bath? Who is going to help mom give me a bath? Who is going to turn my rain noise on at night? Get my food ready for the next day? Throw me in the air? There is so much that dad does, and only dad can do.

He will be home Sunday, mom said that was about 9 sleeps away for me. That's a long time... :(

July 15, 2008

Mom had to work today so I went to Kara's house. So many new toys over there I didn't really realize she was gone until it got close to nap time.

When Dad got home today I had lids, tupperware, and bowls all over the kitchen floor, mom was trying to fix dinner and I was helping her. So anyway Dad decided to put these things on the cabinets I was trying to help him. Come to find out I don't want to help him cause they make it hard to open the door and then I can't get out all the stuff. Mom told me that she would open the cabinets for me cause as long as nothing can hurt me she doesn't care if I play in them.


Dad's little helper



After dinner Mom decided to take me to VBS at Nina's church. They sing these fun songs and I was trying to help them but I didn't know the words.

Vacation Bible School is so tiring!

July 13, 2008

Last night Nina came over to play with me while Mom and Dad went somewhere, I don't know, something about a Comedy show at the Caravan well anyway Nina came over to play with me. We had lots of fun. Nina thought mom was exaggerating when she told her about everything I climb on but Nina found out quickly that mom was NOT! I pushed my car around Nina and behind her and up to the end table to get to the digital picture frame. I had to work quickly cause Nina wouldn't let me do it on my own.

Today me and mom have been pretty lazy, well she has, I have been very busy! We looked at the newspaper. I love Sundays because we get the newspaper. I love to rip it and eat it and crinkle it up.

Dad went to mow all his yards today because tomorrow we have stuff to do after he gets off work.

As mom was checking her email this morning I was unsupervised for like 2 seconds--just long enough to push the camera box over to the fax machine, climb on top, hit about 50 buttons on the fax machine, and then try to get the candle off of the computer desk.

Notice my toes! I am trying so hard to get higher and higher.
Mom keeps saying she has her hands full, what does that mean?

Me and Nina
Me and Great-Nanny

Mom is still working on the deck so before I got up she was out there and then during my nap she was out there. I am sure she is tired of staining the deck.

However, today I did get to go on a walk with our neighbor Vicki and her granddaughter, Addisyn. We had a good nice brisk walk in the morning.

After naptime I met Nina and Kara at Target cause mom wanted to buy new towels. She found some soft ones she likes there. Then we went to visit my Great-Nanny. She held me for the first time today. She has lots of things that make noise there and keep my attention.

Later in the day Aunt Trisha and Uncle Jason decided to have me over to swim. Boy I love to swim. Here is a video of me riding in my firetruck and then Uncle Jason "barefooting" me. It is the greatest! If you have never been barefooted you so should! Be sure to notice my head at the very end.

July 10, 2008

Today my friend Sabrina came over and we played. She really liked my firetruck floatie. WE tried to share with each other, we are still learning.

Then me and mom went to a jewelry party at her friends house. I loved it! The lady had a little girl, who wasn't there but all her toys were! She had this cool reading chair--well I didn't really read in it I used it as a climbing tool to climb higher and higher. And then I found her steps! I love steps! There was this other lady there who had fun nails and she tickled me a lot and I laughed a whole lot!

Busy day! I fell asleep on the way home from the party, it is hard work being so cute and climbing so much!

July 9, 2008

After mom and dad ate Mexican tonight they took me to the park--oh they gave me guacamole at dinner, that stuff is good! Anyway, the park, they took me to the park to swing. I love to swing! Here is a video of me swinging! Dad always pushes me high too and it is so fun!

Yesterday I started trying to say dad. I am doing really good and sometimes it even comes out very close to dad. Every time I say it mom and dad get real excited and clap and everything--these people are crazy!

Mom also started calling me a monkey today. I don't really know why? She started it after I was trying to get out of the play yard--I didn't want to watch Baby Einstein anymore. I was almost out when mom stopped me and made me get back in. If I just had a few more things to stack on top of one another then I could get out of there. In time....

July 7, 2008

Dad was off work today cause he has to work Saturday so they put me in the car this morning and I had to stay there for a long time. I tried to be good but eventually it got kinda hard. When they finally let me out of my carseat we were at this place with all these fish, like my fish brothers and sisters at home but bigger. We were at Newport Aquarium!

It was so neat! I banged on the glass and loved being able to see all the fish! It was so much fun!

After the Aquarium we went for a walk, or should I say stroll (since that is how I roll), across the Purple People Bridge to Ohio. This was my first time in OHIO!!!

We left and I don't remember much of the carride home cause I fell asleep for most of it. I was so tired. But I was so good today!

This was my first longer day trip and Mom was real nervous to see how I reacted to being away from home. I make her so proud!

Side note: Mom is still trying to figure out how to get these pictures in the right order and to move them around. If any of the other mommies know how to do this please let mine know!

July 5, 2008

Today me and dad hung out a lot. Mom is staining the deck and she really wants to get it finished so me and dad went to the hobby store where this lady just loved me to death, she thought I was so cute!

Mom did give me some peaches this morning. I loved them! They are good.

Later we all went to the Dairy Queen car cruise and to diner with Grandmamaw and Grandpapaw at El Rodeo. While at diner I was rather fussy only to let these people know that I had pooped a whole lot and it was coming out of my diaper. It took them forever to realize this. It was really gross! Later mom remembered reading something about either peaches or mangos are right up there with prunes if you need your kiddo to poop...sure enough it was peaches! Peaches = Poop (a lot of it!)

At the car curise Grandpapaw let me play in his yellow car. I had so much fun, it is just my size!

July 4th

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!! I had so much fun today at my Great Aunt and Uncle's house that I fell asleep on the way home and missed all the things...hmmm.....fireworks I think is what mom called them. I don't know but I had fun chasing Kara and Grammar around.

July 3, 2008

Well I decided to finally create a blog for our family. Thanks Christy for keeping yours up to date and encouraging me to start one, I think this will be neat and a nice way to keep tabs on Ms. Ellie.

I am still very new to this so bare with me...
