Belly Laugh

I love her laugh. It melts my heart. We are not sure why she thought this was so funny. It was so cute to see her laugh like this!

Yet again another post/picture/video with her only wearing a pull-up! Speaking of pull-up, we are in full potty training mode! She is doing great! Yesterday she did have a few accidents but thats okay! I am hoping by the end of the weekend she will be doing a lot better!!

These are some pics that I took of Ellie last week. I have been so bad lately about bringing out my camera.

Ellie is doing wonderful! A couple of weeks ago Ellie happened to open her mouth. I noticed that she was getting her right, bottom 2 yr molar. It was half out and half covered in skin. It looked pretty painful to me, but it didn't seem to phase her. Late last week, I had her open her mouth again. The right molar was all of the way in. She let me look at the other side and now she is getting that one too. Ellie seems to have a high tolerance for pain!

The weather has been nice for the most part lately. We have spent most of our evenings outside. Ellie is learning to ride her bike. She is doing great, but she has a short attention span.

Ellie is also talking up storm. Funny story: Braxton and Ellie had a spend the night party with meme and papa on Saturday night. Denise and I went to get the kids. They were so grumpy. Denise and I thought about leaving them there (jk).....just thought I would add that. It has nothing to do with my story! Anyway, so I was driving and Ellie was in the back next to the window. I got off of our exit and was headed to the house. All of a sudden Ellie said, "fast, mommy!" Denise and I cracked up! Ellie is not scared of anything! Christian will throw her on the bed. She stands up and says faster daddy!! She will jump on our bed and land flat on her back. She starts laughing and then starts doing it again!!

Lots of people have asked if we are having another child any time soon! The answer is NO!! Haha! Ellie is a wonderful little girl, but she is giving us a run for our money. We enjoy having just her! No more kiddos anytime in the near future.....and possibly at all!

Road Trip to SC

A couple of weekends ago we went to SC for a fairwell party for Christian's cousin, Brian. He is off to China to ontain his Masters. It was a 3 hour road trip for us. We left at 6 pm on Friday night. I was worried that Ellie would sleep on the way up there and then not want to sleep when we got there. However, she didnt sleep at all! I was so surprised. She did great. We stopped after about an hour and half and let her stretch her legs. She did pitch a fit when we got back in the car, but she settled down quickly.

What our future holds...

My best friend, Keri, took this picture. I had a shower for Keri at my house last weekend. Ellie put on Keri's shoes. How stinkin' cute is Ellie? She cracks me up! I can see it now....Ellie is going to be so prissy!

I was taking Ellie to daycare this week. We passed a school bus and Ellie said, mommy, school bus. I said that's right. Another one passed us and she said the same thing. Then she said, Mommy, I want to ride the school bus! I am thinking no way! I am going to blink and it is going to be time for her to ride the school bus!

Leave it to my brother to put the kids on the roof! Well, they didnt actually get on the roof. They were looking for the golf balls that were in the gutter!

After an hour of playing hard, Ellie was tired. She made the sidewalk her new bed!

Friday night we went over to Richard and Denise's and grilled out. The kids had a blast playing together!

Friday of Vacation...

Friday morning we all went to the GA Aquarium. It was very crowded. It was neat to see all of the fish, sharks, penguins and sea otters. Ellie was ready to go after about an hour. She looked at me and said no more fishes mommy! Haha! She ended up falling asleep in one of the areas!

Sunday night Christian and I were sitting on the couch. Ellie was up in her playroom. All of a sudden we here a big crash coming from the stairs. What here next...........I'm okay!! from Ellie! Christian and I lost it! She knew what we were going to ask! It was so funny!

I promise I will post pictures from our vacation tomorrow!
