Just had to!

The last couple of days, Drew has been volunteering and Willamette as a judge for their little pretend trials they do, so I've been chilling at home with Elliecakes. Weird thing though, she's decided she can't last past 630pm, so that's when she heads to bed...and minus the 1-2 feedings through the night, I'm having to wake her up at 7 to go to school! As much as I love her to sleep as much as she needs, there's also selfish me that misses her!

I uploaded all the pics from my camera onto the computer tonight and went through to fix a bunch of red eye and had remembered some fun videos. I uploaded those, but I had these pics on as well, and just had to share them :)


We're testing out the St. Patties day stuff early!






I was pulling her baby food out of the ice cube trays when she grabbed one. I took it away and she screamed. So, naturally, I gave it back and watched her. When she had eaten about 1/2 of it, she shoved the whole thing into her mouth. I had to physically remove it from her mouth so she wouldn't choke. This sent her into a tizzy of anger. I had then remembered that some kind souls had bought us some teething baggy things where you can put random stuff in them so the kids don't choke. I stuffed the rest of her yam cube back into the bag and she went to town. She ended up eating 2 yams and a potatoes+who knows what cube as well through that thing. AND everything came out clean in the washer! Hallelujah! -it also took an hour. HAHAHA


She would NOT look at me.


oh happy dancing day!

Good times

Things we've done this week.

• Chewed incessantly on teething rings (mama see's TWO teeth RIGHT under the gums...this has been very interesting in the irritable department)
• Read lots of books
• Played with mommy's phone and listened to Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
• Sang 'Hey Diddle Diddle' with singing toys
• Screamed lots, and lots and lots
• Learned that screeching is fun when it echo's, even though it's an outside voice in the house
• Refused to drink anything on Sunday because she's too grown-up for that 'baby' stuff now
• Measured things
• Tried on new shoes
• Spit on Daddy a lot
• Giggled
• Ate Oreos
• Ate Frozen Yogurt
• Ate teething biscuits in the car and made a horrendous mess

We've been busy!

Pumpkin Juice

Somehow I nickname everything and everyone. Ellie's current nickname changes between cakes and pumpkin juice. At any rate, she's pretty awesome and I love her!

I've been asked to put together a week long celebration next week for our classified staff (non-teachers that work at the school)- this would have been awesome if it wasn't NEXT WEEK. I have taken every spare minute (except this one for my sanity) to work on it. Here's hoping it goes OK next week. If it doesn't, oh well, it's my birthday and I'll eat cake and go chillax on the coast anyway! so there!

Done with miniature soapbox, now onto the pictures!


Watchin mama brush her teeth before school!


dressups!


Bath time=the BEST time!


My little 8 month older next to her Blaire!


Playing and banging around

Sun!

We had sun today!! We've had sun the past couple of days, and we're supposed to have more this weekend. I am loving it.

Here's some fun pictures from today I just couldn't pass up.


Mommy and baby's toes match! (they did before today, but I got Drew to get a picture of the two of us while i was thinking about it). I'm also surprised at how quickly her nail polish comes off. I'm going to have to redo it like this weekend!


Looking at the birdies in the tree


I liked this one cause her little bow matched her outfit= so cute!

Quickie

I didn't realize how late it was. I went on a rampage, and now I'm back. I was going to make some sugar free nonfat strawberry yogurt too, but totally got sidetracked. Anyway, some lovely pictures of my princess!

Ellie didn't sleep, eat or drink anything at the sitters today. So then I proceeded to take her to work and she flipped at all the attention. I think the hunger and tiredness got to her. Thankfully one of the teachers rescued her and gave her a graham cracker to munch on so she could play with one of her friends for a little while.

I think I just need to remember to bring her in more often rather than playing on the internet. hahaha


Check out those little piggies! I painted them while she watched Family Feud!!


This is for appearances only. If you have a bottle and a baby, chances are, her arms go limp and she is incapable of lifting so much as her head. hahahaha Love those bottles though. Dr. Brown is the only way to go
