Ellie -- Trying Again with the Flowers ...

I give up ... I keep trying to take "just the right photo" of Ellie outside in the flowers and it just isn't working. I think it's the photographer because the subject is so darn cute. Thing is, she moves so fast that by the time I get the shot ready, she's just not there anymore. *smile*.
So, here we go again.

AND... big news on the pregnancy front (not mine!!): my friend, Lori is going to have a baby -- and possibly two. Check out her blog!! Congrats to you, my dear, dear friend!!!

Miss Fashionista, pondering the fate of the world while chewing on her sunglasses:


I'd put them on; she'd take them off.



Look at her looking out over her glasses. What a riot!!

Put them on; take them off; over and over and over.


I thought she looked like she was praying here. Actually, she was probably clapping; it's her favorite, favorite, favorite thing to do! She does it, laughing the whole time, ALL the time.



Happy exploring ...

My FAVORITE PHOTO!!! The wind was blowing through her hair, the sun was over her shoulder; she threw her hands up in the air and just closed her eyes and laughed out loud. It was priceless!!



More exploring in the yard ...
Just happy -- have you EVER seen a baby this happy all the time?? Well, except at bedtime, that is.

In the last day or so, she has begun to "wave". There are no words with the "wave", it's pretty random, but it's obvious that's what she's doing. We've "waved" her hand for her for so long, I guess she decided to try it out.
