Me and My Blanket

I know, I know... I have beautiful hair, big blue eyes, and a magnetic personality. But does my blankie cover my double chin? There are some cute boys at music class.

Tax time

I'm 99% sure you can claim that my Elmo books were a valid business expense, I know we donated some of my clothes, and my education expenses are deductible aren't they?

Chillin Out

How funny, we got each other the same pajamas!

My first job

I could really get used to the holidays. Getting gifts are fun, but opening them are exhausting. I even opened Mommy and Daddy's gifts. Its a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

Toddler Blues

John Popper and Dylan have nothing on me. I call this one the "Toddler Blues."

Oh, I have barely napped,
my diapers stink,
my teeth are killing me,
and I'm too short for the sink.

I've got the blues, la la la, the toddler blues....

Thanksgiving Rituals

Mommy was right... Thanksgiving is great- family, food, and football.
Who's up for a nap? Daddy?

Planning My Day

Each morning I sit in my throne, have a drink and plan my day. Should I be cute and loveable or kvetch, should I take my naps or refuse to sleep, should I poop three times or none, should I follow mommy around or play hard to get...

Beautiful Girls

Me and Mommy getting ready to go out partying!

Road Trip

Me, Mommy, and Daddy had a great time at the zoo. I know that they are excited about showing me tigers, birds, and monkeys, however, I want to know where I find purple dinosaurs, counts, and grouches!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Whose hand prints are these? They're ruining my great view of me!

I have dreams

Baby today, movie star tomorrow.

But I'm a realist

Mommy and Daddy better add orthodontics to the budget...

Survey Time Again

A. Me and Daddy are watching a sporting event and I'm thinking "Tom Brady has nothing on my Daddy!"
B. Me and Daddy are watching a sporting event and I'm thinking "I thought you told me that Elmo and Big Bird are playing today?"
C. Me and Daddy are watching Sesame Street and Daddy's thinking "fuzzy and blue, that's me...."

Ella Stands

I can see a lot better from up here. Me likey!

Ella Falls

... still trying to get the hang of this

....And Ella Walks!

.... it's like I've been walking for years!

Attention, Attention- If you haven't already heard...

I turned one!!! And check it out, I'm still as cute as ever. If you haven't already sent a gift, please mail it as soon as possible. I like clothes, toys, and especially books. Daddy says I also like donations for college. In case you haven't seen me for a while, I now have 4 teeth, I'm standing a lot, babbling, I can tell you where my hair, tongue, and nose are and I blow kisses. I also like to be entertained and held, so if you see me, pick me up!

Two Cousins, Two Cakes

Jack- It's really easy- yours says "Jack" and mine says "Ella." I love you very much, and I'm glad we're celebrating together. But, if you touch my cake again, it's gonna get really, really ugly. You don't want to see me when I'm mad....

Me and Cake- Best Friends Forever

Yum. Cake Good. Can I have a party every day?
Mommy- Daddy didn't know that he shouldn't give me frosting with red food coloring. Remember, he's the same dude that washes his whites with his colors. However, Elmo would look kind of silly without all the red color, wouldn't he?

Just Checkin'

I've been told that all good blogs have surveys, so here's my first one-

What do you think of my thighs?
A. Too big, I need to cut down on the formula, puffs, and cheese
B. Just about right for someone that is in the 95th percentile in weight (and 95th for height)
C. They look delicious, you want to take a bite out of them don't you?
D. They're perfect, just like me
E. Who cares? I'm just a toddler and I shouldn't give a $#@! what people think
