Who’s that Baby (to the tune of Who’s that Lady)

Since the computers been broken I’m not quite sure when these were taken but I love this baby and love to sing silly songs to her. She makes me work pretty hard to get her to smile but its totally worth it.

Ela’s 3!!

We celebrated Princess Ela’s 3rd birthday at a cool new park near our house with food, a blue, heart shaped strawberry cake at her request, and lots of family and friends.

 

She got a scooter and she hopped on and scooted like a pro. It was a very happy birthday.

Hippity Hoppity

 

Easter egg hunting at Mulberry park with her best bud. There was lots of squealing with excitement at finding eggs followed by “can I eat my  candy NOW?!”

Uncle Cory brought his nieces and nephew all different sized elephants from Africa for Easter. The white patch on Ela’s arm is a baking soda patch to soothe her horrific bee sting. She cried for an hour, threw up, got a fever and went to bed. Hopefully she’ll remember Easter as a happy holiday and not be too traumatized.

First Haircut

I’ve always cut Ela’s hair myself so after 2 years of my homemade trims she was ready for a real stylist to have at it. She did pretty well, only complaining that her face was “buzzing” (tickled by hair) a few times and not crying at all.

She was also bribed with a cookie which didn’t hurt.

I feel Happy!

Time flies

These girls are getting so big so fast!

Weekend with Grandmas and Grandpas

We have awesome grandparents in our family. My mom, Dave, Gma Jerre and Gpa Chuck had Ela over for the weekend so that I could get some rest. Since baby Tasha likes to party all night long I usually can only sleep during the day so their help was very appreciated.

Here is Ela hammering and then recovering from her hard days work.
Riding her bike with Gma Jerre and playing with a stick at the bay. Its not as obvious in these pictures but the poor girl got my huge crooked teeth.
On a side note her big thing these days is saying "I Promise." Usually its "I promise I won't do it again mom." Although I don't quite think she knows what it means because she usually does do it again...I guess its better than her previous favorite phrase "That was just an accident." This was used whenever she did anything, whether accident or on purpose. This silly girl is just too smart for her own good.
