Bed time plus some random summer

Ella has a toy Elmo that sings and dances the Chicken Dance, and she loves it.
So naturally, she sees anything Elmo, and she automatically loves it.
Case and point, Elmo jammies.
She's been growing so quickly, that she's outgrown most of her jammies so we went shopping to get her some new warm ones. She grabbed these ones and wouldn't let go. She even carried them around all day telling me that Elmo was on her new jammies.

This was right before bed, so a little too grumpy for pictures.

Jumping in jammies

This is her getting her hair done

Nearly done! Notice all of the hair ties on her left hand. They're so much fun to play with.

She was sick this morning, but noticed the camera on her dresser.

She insisted that I take some pictures

We went to Shasta, and Lexi took pictures of Ella.

I think they turned out great!

Grandma Donna got Ella some boots.

She's got Daddy wrapped around her little finger for sure.

Kyle and I were in our good friends' Drake and Renee's wedding.

Ella was a flower girl, but I can't seem to find a picture of that. 

It's been a while!

I'm not sure who all will read this. I haven't blogged in five months. That's a long time. But just in case there is still someone who might see this, here you go!

My camera has been broken (boo) so that partially explains my absence and also why there are so few pictures for 5 months of our lives.

Back in April. I just love her hair in a side pony.

This was our first day back to real life after summer.

Ella figured out the camera on my computer. These are all her!

Over the summer, Ella and i would walk everyday. She'd get her toys from the toy box and put them in the pocket for the ride. This is what happens when I'm busy

She cleared out the toy box. Anything to fight boredom I suppose.

Ella's new favorite things are socks. She wants to wear them everywhere!

She'll even take them off and put them on her hands. That's a good time.

I got her some colored skinny jeans!

She's super cute.

She also loves climbing on chairs.

and helping mom with homework.

Basically, Ella's getting huge. She's learning new words by the second and loves playing tag.

Life is good.

p.s. sorry some of the pictures are so squampous. They wouldn't flip for me and I was too lazy to try to figure out why.

Pictures continued

Here come some more pictures!

I watch Xavier every Tuesday and Thursday, so Ella and X get to play for a while

I like this one. Ella was very confused as to why Xavier won't pick up the toys she is so generously sharing.

 Tubby! I have some more, but for some reason my computer won't let me load them...

Sorry Mom!

It's been a while. I've been beyond busy (18 credit hours, babysitting/nanny job, and Ella sick/ear infections, and the list goes on), and my mom severely reprimanded me.... So! Pictures. Lots of them. This might make up a few posts, so be prepared to sit there for a while.

Playing with those stacker things

Grandma Donna gave her chocolate covered strawberries and shortcake. lucky baby!
