Visit from Grandma Robyn and Grandpa Dennis, Sept. 18-22

Princess Leia reading with Grandma Robyn and Grandpa Dennis

Ooh, scary Ellie

Oh, man Grandma Robyn, you are not going to believe it....

Foray into free range Ellie: she feeds herself and washclothes everywhere pay the consequences

Who is that masked consumer?

Cute but Messy just like daddy (well, really more like mommy)

Can I eat the whole thing at once?

This is the spoon levitation portion of the meal.

Yogurt up my nose.

Oh, yeah, you gonna try to clean my face? I don't think so....

Oh, hooray, food is everywhere!

First 4-wheeler ride

Our neighbors, Sean and Heather, have a 2 and a 1/2 year old boy, Heath, who shared his toys with Ellie the other evening. He was riding his red battery powered corvette.

Seattle Visit: Family, Food and Fun

The Whole Gang at brunch on Sunday. Excellent food, only a small amount of said food ended up on Ellie's head.

Wii-ing with Uncle Garrett and Daddy. Auntie Marcie is amused

Auntie Becca and Lillian with Grandpa Mike and Ellie at our zoo outing.

The Carousel at the Seattle Zoo.

Cute outfit from Loridee and the girls. Hanging out in our fabulous hotel room.

Cousins meeting and greeting. We have to protect Lillian from Ellie's effusive interactions.

Oh, I didn't know I kept you both up

Ellie repents for keeping us up. She was so cute this morning. Ian needed to get her attention to stop her from eating paper from the recycling (one of her favorite pasttimes). He said "Eleanor" in his deep serious dad voice, and we swear she said "Yes Daddy?". It was so precious

Really Mom?

This is her "I am rebuking you" face.

This morning is electrifying

Ellie's hair is truly uplifting. She was up from about 230 to 5 am and didn't go to sleep until we went around the block in the BOB at 445. Of course, she was cute as ever when she got up and wondering why Ian and I had bags under our eyes.
