Sticky Pumpkin Art

I cut out a pumpkin from some construction paper and lined it with contact paper. Then I hung it on the patio door (sticky side facing her) and gave her some scrap orange paper. She LOVED it! She really loves stickers right now so I thought she's enjoy this project. Oh, ella decided to use some crayons to enhance her pumpkin art. Check it out...

Just Hanging Out

Ella can be a real bear when she wakes up in the morning or from a nap. Sometimes we let her watch Barney after a nap or in the morning. Here she is hanging out. Hehe, love the hands behind the head.

Our Walk

Ella had to take all of her friends (baby, puppy, ducky, and her other baby) on our walk this afternoon!

Lunch Date with Mommy

Ella and I enjoyed Subway together this week. Ella just loved it!

Goody Smile!

Last week Scott was in CA for work. Ella and I stayed with my parents while he was away. Scott said send lots of pics, so one morning I tried to snap a photo of Ella while she ate breakfast. I said, "Ella, smile!" And she gave me that goofy face... over and over again.

Reading the Sunday Paper

Ella knows that Scott likes the comics so she always finds them for him :) After that she enjoys looking through the ads. Today she fell in love with the Fleet Farm ad that has two pages full of puppies and meow-meows as Ella calls them!

First day of ECFE

Ella and I go to a weekly baby/toddler class through Lakeville's ECFE. We enjoy playing with other toddlers, exploring new toys, and singing new songs. Here are some pictures from Ella's first day.

Puppy love!

Ella's great grandpa Ralph built her the most adorable little baby crib and brought it over to her Friday. She loves the baby crib (her babies, stuffed animals, and blankie take numerous naps in it throughout the day), but she also loves the puppy he also gave her. She barks at it, pets it, and gives it sips of water from her sippy cup. We've had a lot of this weekend with these special new toys :)

"Ella, I'm going to have to wait until our nap to build the tower I really want."

Yep, that's the quote from Scott Saturday morning. I think he was having too much fun with Ella's blocks and she was having too much fun knocking down his constructions.

Little Helper

Ella loves helping us out. She sweeps, wipes down the kitchen appliances, dusts, and tonight she helped put away the dishes...

Play dough fun :)

Baby Bear does yoga!

Baby Bear just started "doing yoga" with me. She copies me when I'm stretching. It is sooo cute. She thinks she's pretty cool too. Check it out....

Playing dress up...

Ella has pink toes!

Hanging out at Caribou

We grabbed coffee Saturday afternoon and hung out on the patio at caribou. Baby Bear loved the airplanes and cars. She also loved people watching. Fun afternoon :)

Ps. Thank you nana and papa for the gift card! Yummy!

Baby doll

Ella received baby doll from Santa last year. She cried when she saw baby doll. A few months ago she became a little less fearful of baby doll and would allow her to be in the same room with her. Well, the baby doll and Ella's relationship has really blossomed in the past few weeks. Baby doll goes everywhere with Ella and even sleeps in her crib with her at nap and bed time.

Below, is what I found in the dinning room. Baby doll tucked in with the dish towel :)

Riding on the Lawn Mower!

Ella LOVES riding on the lawn mower with Papa. And whenever Ella Bear sees a lawn mower she shots, "PAPA!"

Como Zoo Fun!
