Water baby

I finally broke out Ella's water table today. It was really warm this afternoon. Ella loves to take a bath so I knew she would love to splash around. She had lots of fun and looked really cute in her bathing suit:)


In other news Ella did the sweetest thing tonight. I was almost shocked. I put her to bed and told her "night night, mommy loves you." Right after I said this she kissed her hand like she was blowing me a kiss. She has never done this before, and I didn't even know she associated these two things. I almost could have cried. She is growing up so fast.

My friend brought her newborn over today, and Ella loved him. She crawled up on the couch while I was holding him and kept kissing his head. I thought she might be jealous, but she didn't mind me holding him at all. She is such a sweet, loving little girl. We are so lucky to have such a special girl!

Neighbor Dog....

That's Elliott and Brody's best bud, Marley. Notice the nice hole he dug under the fence so he can see what is going on in our yard. Elliott will sit out there for hours staring at the fence waiting for Marley to come out. Lately, Ella has really taken a liking to Marley. She grabs Elliott and Brody's toys and tries to hand them to Marley. She also loves to touch his nose.

Trying to see if Marley is out....

Silly daddy!

I can't imagine why Ella thinks daddy is so funny.....

Play date!

Ella had a play date today with Kaiser and Leila Belle. Alison was babysitting so we went over to keep her company. Ella had a fun time. We played outside, ate McDonald's happy meals, and even cleaned up poop off the bathroom floor (long story)!!

Picnic table

I was finally able to set up Ella's picnic table that she got for Christmas. She looked like such a big girl sitting there drinking her juice. She loves outside more than anything so you can imagine the excitement she had when she saw this sitting on the patio! I think Ella could probably live outside. Adam and I joke around saying that we are going to put her crib outside in a tent. It's going to be a looooooooooooong summer! :)
