Joining the Circus

We think that our child has a career in the circus ahead of her. This is how I found her in the living room last night....

She is obsessed with climbing on top of things. Case in point:

Ella's preferred vantage point for watching T.V.

We just returned from a trip out to New Mexico to visit our cousins. While there we hit the slopes of Angel Fire and Santa Fe. Check out the action shots and beautiful scenery.

I just love this pic of Maddie & Todd at the top of Angel Fire.

New Mexico

I got to go on another plane this week to go and visit my cousins in New Mexico. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Mommy and daddy went to the wineries in New Mexico. Mommy and daddy told me that the wine was for grown ups only so I couldnt get any in my sippy cup. Here we are outside one of the wineries in the desert with Aunt RaRa, Madie and Uncle Todd.

Mommy, daddy and me.

Aunt Ra Ra is going to have a baby in September! I'm so excited to have another cousin to play with.

We went and saw he petroglyphs, they' are funny looking drawings the Indians made a long, long time ago on the rocks. I didn't realize they had Crayola's in the olden days.

We went on the longest cable tram in the world up Sandie Peak mountain. It goes up 10,000 feet! I had to suck on my pacifier on the way up so my ears wouldnt hurt and hold on tight!

Once we got to the top of the mountain, there was snow on the other side! I got to make my first baby snowman.

Meeting my Cousins in New Mexico

This week I got to meet my cousins in New Mexico. I loved playing big kid games and getting lots of attention. Madie is 7 and she looked after me like a big sister, I really love her. Parker is 6 and he has twin brothers Brinson and Leighten who are 2.5 and very busy.



Parker put these glasses on me. Daddy said I look fabulous.

Pig Tails

Mama says my hair is now long enough for pig tails. I really hope it didn't hurt any of the the piggy's. Do you like their tails in my hair?

Playdate with Daddy

Today was my playdate with Daddy 'cause Mama had to go take her board exam. I have learned soooooo much today. Like Mountain Dew is awesome, and pancakes are good anytime of the day. Running out into the driveway without Daddy results in life imprisonment. We don't eat leaves. Gators rule. Don't mess with the air compressor (or any other tools in the garage for that matter). I also learned that 27 years old is a perfectly reasonable age to start dating.

Music Maestro

About a month ago, Ella figured out how to play (or I should say make sounds with) the recorder. Though it's not always the most melodic tune, it's really cute to see Ella playing a musical instrument and to see how proud she is of herself making some noise! Perhaps your going to take after your Papa Plowman Ella Rose.

Daddy gave me a bath

My Daddy is magic. He told me that he could turn a dirty little pig into a unicorn!!

Hanging Out With Daddy

Today I didn't feel very well. I had a fever last night and today so mommy stayed at home with me. Here is daddy saying hello to me when he got home from work.

I was tired from being fussy all day so I decided to rest my head on daddy' shoulder for a while.

Then daddy read my favorite book to me "Where's Baby's Belly Button".

Little Miss Chatty

Lately I've been really into using mommy's phone. First I dial the number (usually dada or Amelia)......

Then I talk, talk, talk. I can say: "Mama", "Dada", "no" ( I usually shake my head when i say this), "ball" and "oh oh" (when i drop something). I'm also a good listener, see me listening to daddy
