I washed Elie in warm water last night and she shrunk! J/k, here's me holding baby McKinley. She will be appearing as a cow for the next two weeks. Tickets are free!
Here's a little preview of Elie in her Flower Girl's dress for Sarah's wedding. She's going to wear a black sash in the ceremony which I think will be even cuter, no worries there will plenty of pictures to blog ffrom the wedding...only one month til the wedding!
Chicken butt (it waddles when she walks).
Chicken face.
Chicken Legs.
Flying Chicken.
Elie trying to walk Annabelle.
Group shot. Beth put the camera on a rock and it gave us this cool angle. The picture wouldn't have been as cool if it weren't for that rock.
Jimmy and Elie crossing the raging river.
Elie has her pooh ears on again. Beth was reading the babes a story, and Elie thought she should pet Sam's head, she only whacked him upside the head once. Remember this picture because we'll blog it next to their 2025 Senior Prom pictures.
Now that's a blackmail picture!
Today Elie and I went with Ashley and Baby James to a indoor play place, called Monkey Bizness. There are slides and tunnels and jumpers and all kinds of things for the little monkeys to play on. Elie was a little unsettled at first but she literally climbed right in.
Elie playing what? Oh yeah, peek-a-boo...again.
Climbing through catepillar tunnels
and log houses. This required a 2-1/2 hour nap after, Mommy likey Monkey Bizness. Did I mention in cost a whopping $3, totally worth every penny.This is what happens after Elie is alone with Grammy for an evening...non-stop peek-a-boo. And then at the end of the video she does her "all-done"sign language to tell me she's all done eating.
She can actually climb in this chair, she just couldn't manage today. But last night, while getting her bath ready, I couldn't find her, and she had climbed into this chair with a book just like in this video.
Caution: This is one wild child! She was throwing the ball with us and laughing and screaming. You have to take special note of her expression as she throws the ball, it's the best. At least I can get video while my camera is out of commission.
Her other new thing today was saying "oohhh!' to everything.
Learning to slide...she was very excited about this and liked it A LOT!
Mom still needs to help her on the big girl slides.
Watching Dad and Grandpa play horseshoes. Every time a horseshoe hit the ground she'd say, "UH-OH!"
Playing at Lake Dowdy. Unfortunately it was a little chilly, but she still got her feet wet.
And tried to eat rocks.
Family picture...we all walk on water, it's hereditary.
The sun finally came out right as Elie had had enough.
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!
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).
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.
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.
Auntie Nan, is now going to be Mama Nan, and Mama Maggs is going to be Aunt Maggs...WHHHOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
