Some of the latest escapades

She picked out the outfit herself. She decided, even though it was 90 degrees, that she wanted to wear her hat and needed a backpack to go with it. So we went calling on our neighbors to say hello, dressed up proper-like.

Ellie's cool pool look. She was hanging out with Ashley, one of her nannies, who bought her this cute little dress in Mexico. They sat by the pool and had shave ice.

Pinkalicious...Ellie really likes this book about a little girl who eats too many pink cupcakes and develops Pinkititis and has to eat green vegetables to counteract the effects. So one day we made pink cupcakes with pink frosting and dressed up in all pink. This is her excited look.

New summer fashion: It's boots and pajamas, watch out Yves St. Laurent

I'm smiling.... Hello my fans. Someday my mother will get my haircut.

The end.

Ellie is starting to talk up a storm. Examples include: shoes, zoo (zhoo), boots, elbow, knee, boat, didi (Lilly, her cousin), baba (grandpa), amma (grandma), abba peese (help please), ya ma (yes, mama), bye daddy. Other endearing expressions are "Dada zhhhh" (dada plays Wii), "Dada fpfpfpfp (sipping sound)" (dada drinks coffee).

She proudly points out to everyone who walks past the coffee dispensers at our local bagel store that her dada drinks their coffee. The ladies at the bagel store love her and sign her blueberry bagels with a smiley face. They chastise me if I come in without her. I'm glad she brings smiles to them. It makes me happy to see it.

Well, it's 55 degrees now, but we had fun the other day

Safety Features a must

Never know what could happen when eating an apple
Ellie is multi-tasking and being safe while doing it. We obey helmet laws.

Always wear safety glasses when playing with an extremely cute and silly child

What, it's the end of May!

Yes, this is May 22nd. It snowed all day. It cut down greatly on the number of foolish young men from bar fights I had to see overnight, but inceased the number of chest pains in the elderly. Hmmmm.....

Ellie talks ....then pukes...

Taking an apres-lunch walk in Maisons Laffitte, Ellie was talking alot on Grandma's shoulders; and then proceeded to spit up chocolate cake into her hair!
