BOOKCLUB!

Book #2 in the series, and I am onto #3, they are awesome!

She's Got Legs

We had Elie's one year check up last week and she is in the 85th%ile for height at 30.5". Nancy and I were both only 29", she's going to be giant. And her feet look huge in those shoes, but the actually fit. Her weight was good at 50th%ile, she weighs 22.5 lbs.

LuLu, Pumas and Dora

Elie was sitting on her LuLu the Lamb chair watching Dora
She's starting to look like a little girl now, no longer mon petit poupon (my chubby-cheeked little baby).
Sweet Shoes! She's ready to drive her race car Grandpa Jim!

Workout Outift

I love this outfit, she looks like she is going running. She is also playing with one of her three favorite toys...keys, remote controls and cell phones (she knows how they ALL work too).

BOOKCLUB!

So I decided to see what all this mumbo-jumbo was about Stepahine Meyer, and I bought into it. I read the first book in this series in two days. It's about a blood-sucking vampire falling in love with a human, it is so Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I love it, I am already onto the second book.

Vail Kickball Tourney '08

Best weekend of the year, every year! We unfortuntely came in 2nd this year, and I am broken, but it was a blast as always. This years team attire...70's.
The 2nd place team (sans the afros).
The Yates.
The bros, the fros and Alicia, the team fortune teller.
A-ron and T.G. Supermen and super packages.

Ready for fall

It's done nothing but rain here for 3 days. If it were winter we'd have 5 feet of snow.
Best news was we got to break out some new clothes. I thought Elie looked like she was ready for her first day at school...
Where she would eat all the other babies' faces.

Someone's gonna be a new Mommy!

Auntie Nan, is now going to be Mama Nan, and Mama Maggs is going to be Aunt Maggs...WHHHOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Wearing her birthday presents

Once Elie finally recovered from the party, she was able to get out and play. She's sportin' her "1-derful" t-shirt and her sweet 1980's pink high-top Chuck Taylors. She's worn a lot of her new clothes this week, but I only got these pics, they are all VERY cute!

I recall a family Christmas photo (circa 1987'ish) where I was wearing a pair of pink high-top Chuck Taylor's. Like Mother like Daughter.

Elie's 1st Birthday Party!!!

Elie got dressed up in her "Miss August" outfit for the party!
Olivia came to party with Elie, they played in their party hats. Amazingly they both kept the hats on their heads.
And the fun begins! I knew Elie wouldn't eat the cake, she is still very picky. She even didn't like the chocolate, obviously it is not genetic, since I can eat my body weight in chocolate.
Here she is gagging on it.
None of it actually got in her mouth just all over her.

So we dunked her in the kiddos swimming pool to wash her off.
This is the cake I decorated for the party, I must say, it was very cute (and very good)!
Opening prezzies...
And playing with them!

Elie is a party girl, there was no crying or anything she had a blast. Thanks to everyone for coming, and all the presents!
