Potty Training - Slow but Steady

Slowly but surely...mom is determined to get me potty trained. I know she would like to get me potty trained before my little sister gets here, but it is hard to remember to tell her sometimes. I think I do pretty well though, I go on the big girl potty atleast once a day. The best part is after I go, I get to flush the toilet and I get a treat!!

Cheese. Mom, I am pushing it out...can I have my treat?

Cutest Moment Yet

Ella is very excited for her new little sister to arrive. Atleast once a day she will lift up my shirt and give her sister kisses. She is going to be such a great BIG sister.
Today I decided it was probably about time to take a picture of my belly at 21 weeks. As I was posing for pictures, Ella walked in our room and said "Ella take a picture." Without posing her, Tony was able to capture this moment and I think it is her cutest moment yet!

Ella's New BFF

Emily one of my friends at work, needed to find a good home for one of her FAO Schwartz stuffed animals, Annie the horse. She had asked me if I thought Ella would like it and I said, "Absolutely!" Ella has a new obsession with horses and I knew she would appreciate this new stuff animal. As you can see from the pictures below she and Annie didn't need much time to get aquainted.Ella taking Annie for a test ride

Oppsie, I fell off Annie, lets try it again

We're Back!

So Kelly T. has inspired me to spend more time online and continuously update our blog. As you can see I started this in December and just found it too hard to maintain. Honestly, I only gave it one try. So as requested, I have decided to give it another try.

This site is going to be dedicated to our one and only Miss Ella Elise. She has had so many great moments and reached many milestones in the past 4 months I am going to back track a little and post pictures starting in January. I apologize that my post date will not match with the picture dates, but will do my best to include the date of the milestone and/or event.

Thanks Kel for your encouragement and now Family and Friends...ENJOY!

Playdate with Baby Sydney

Today Andy and Sommer brought over their new daughter, Baby Sydney to play with me. I really thought she was fun and cute until she began to cry then I gave her back to her mommy and daddy.

I was so excited to see her, I just wanted to pinch her little cheeks (like mommy does to me), but mommy made sure that I be gentle.

Baby Sydney, what a cutie!

Odd Combinations

Recently I have been exploring different fashion styles. Mom would say it is a style of my own.

In this picture I have decided that a vest should be worn to bed
Here, I have decided that if I can't go play outside (because its too dark out) that I would just wear my boots and mittens like I was outside. Oh and to explain the truck, my cousin Cameron gave me one of his monster trucks, THANKS CAM! and now trucks have become my new obsession.

Daddy are you ready?
So on this morning I woke up and wanted to wear my hat. I grew to love my hats while we were on vacation in Cancun. Oh and we can't forget my new shoes that mommy bought. Why do you have a funny look on your face? I think I am ready to go out and play.

Mommy and Me

Mom taking another picture of the two of us. Daddy isn't really into taking pictures or capturing the moments, so many times pictures of me and mommy are ones she takes herself.
