3 movies plus more

Elle showing off her new Dora pj's from Grammy and Grampy.

To illustrate how behind I am at blogging...this is my 15 week side profile pic. If you've been looking at our pregnancy ticker, I'm 17 weeks! Anyway, as I always say, "better late than never."

Comparison picture:

I was 18 weeks pregnant with Ellison

Ellison entertaining herself. She loves to dance/hop to music!

Ellison showing off one of her favorite numbers that she learned from story-time at the library. It's called "Open Shut Them." In case you can't understand her, she is saying, "open shut them, open shut them, give a little clap. Open shut them, open shut them, put them in your lap. Creep them, creep them, right up to your chin...(then she has had enough). The rest of it goes..."open up your mouth, but do not let them in!" She probably would have finished, but it was getting late, and she had alread gone through it a couple of times.

Backyardigans song, except where she says "nap" it's supposed to "snack"...a little trick I pulled to get her ready for sleep.

Princess dress, tent, and ABC's

I have been slacking big time on blogging lately...but here are a couple pictures, plus a video to catch everyone up on what Ellison has been up to. The pictures below are from a recent stay in Wausau at my parent's house.

This is one of the many articles of clothing we have recently received from my cousin's family. This dress is Ellison's favorite, she calls it her "princess dress". She just so happens to be waving around her "princess wand" too!

Elle in her private tent. Only a few specific things were allowed inside (I was not one of them). *Notice her "big sister - to be" shirt made by our friends Katie and Danielle.

Ellison loves her new blocks (a Valentine's gift from my cousin Liz), but the bag was just as much fun.

Some quiet time reading books. I love when she does this!


FINALLY! After months of trying to record her singing one of her many songs, I caught her while singing the ABC's. She was already on her 5th time through singing them, but I asked her to start over and sing to her turtle, so she didn't mind me holding the camera! She loves watching herself sing, and sings along with her video.

-We will be sending this video to the American Idol crew as one to watch for in 15 years!
