My new favorite seat

Yay... I'm even taller. And I can use Daddy's head as a drum. Wait a second- aren't you supposed to have hair up here? I could swear there was more just a few weeks ago. If stress makes the hair go, does the pleasure of having me around make it grow back?

Mommy- throw me the desitin- someone is going to have a diaper rash- on their neck!!!

One of the four food groups?

Mommy has been introducing me to some tasty new foods: bananas, turkey, cheese, ice cream, bagels, noodles, yogurt puffs, pretzels. This big colorful thing looked delicious, but my 2.5 teeth are having some trouble with it.

Do psychics need to be able to speak?

ok...wait..it's coming to me.. I'm getting a premonition.. Yes!.. Another World Series for the Sox!

I am tall. Hear me roar!

Alright, enough is enough. No more sports, bachelorette, american idol, oprah, or larry king. We're going to watch Elmo and Mickey Mouse. Also, I need to use the phone- got to call my cousins! Am I old enough for my own blackberry?

I'm running this show!

My first taste of ICE CREAM

Yesterday, I went to Hannah's ice cream party. She was turning 7 so I was definitely the youngest one there...but i got in line to get my taste of ice cream. Don't worry...daddy was right behind me getting his scoop (or two)! Notice, I'm making the 'more' sign with my hands! I likey!!

I'm definitely teething!

Oh boy...do I like to put things in my mouth! (the first pix is from music class.. and the 2nd one... happy July 4th!)

I love to EAT!

Hey, is there a puff under my eye? I don't know how it got there, but I love my puffs! AND, I also love pieces of turkey, cheese, bananas and macaroni. Yes, I'll eat some baby food out of jars still, but i love eating with my hands! ...I'd really like to find that missing puff!

A present for me?

Mommy and Daddy got a new camera today. They say that it's tough to capture my beautiful smile. With the new one, it should take pictures quicker and a few at a time. Believe it or not, I was smiling right before this picture was snapped!

My friends think I act old for my age

Me and the girls hanging out.... they all think I'm mature!

My grip is getting better...

The good news for Mommy and Daddy is that I can hold my bottle by myself. The bad news is that I can get a real good grip on remote controls and phones too! Daddy loves when I turn the Red Sox game off in order to watch Elmo or call 911 by mistake! On a side note, only one more month of formula- I may have to put the last case of Similac on ebay!

My Favorite Food....

is a bagel! Don't steal it Daddy... This will keep me busy for almost 20 minutes while my 1.5 teeth wear it down.

Fun Time at the Gym!

Mommy's been taking me to some great classes. I've been going to Gymboree, the JCC and music classes. It's a lot of fun! Mommy gets to take me out so I don't kvetch and I'm really liking all the singing and playing. Hopefully I take my nap in the car after we leave. I'm really trying to nap better so I'm not tired and edgy later. I even got Daddy to come to a couple of classes! I think Mommy's telling me about an itsy bitsy spider in this shot!

Hello!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my blog! I'll be sharing photos and stories with you as I go through life.... or at least for the next couple of weeks- I do get bored easily. Anyway, check back often because I keep growing and changing every day and I don't want anyone to miss anything!
Love,
Ella
