Things that make you “squee”
There are a few months of the year when Florida is quite delightful, starting in about November and lasting until February. Outside of that is just hot and nasty. So when this time of year rolls around, we do our best to make the most of it.
The other night I came home and was greeted at the garage door by Ellie who said:
Daddy, I suggested that when you came home, that we all go on a bike ride together and Jack can come too.
Ellie had the pleasure of spending the day with our dear friend Amy, who was kind enough to look after the kids while we had something to do.
We got several photos of Ellie & Jack being adorable together, but this one took the prize. Evidently, they went on a walk and Ellie made sure to get her sunglasses to both protect her eyes and to look adorable, as she tends to do when she wears sunglasses.

We’ve had a good amount of rain lately which has prompted Ellie to want to go outside in her raincoat and wellies and go splashing in the puddles! Continue reading “Splashing in the puddles [VIDEO]”
Last weekend, we thought we’d treat Ellie by putting up some Christmas lights in her room. This is the big reveal and Ellie was so excited to look at each light. It’s now the first thing she does every morning.

While spending time with family over Thanksgiving, Ellie got to see Uncle Tom and his new motorcycle. We let her sit on it and wear some of Tom’s glasses and the pictures are naturally adorable. Continue reading “Ellie’s first go on a motorcycle”
Since we hooked Ellie up with her “big girl bed” a few weeks ago, she’s started venturing out of her room once she’s awake in the morning. So, if we’re still dozy, she very sweetly comes up to us, rubs us on the arm to wake us up and then snuggles up in bed with us. It’s amazing.
The part that’s not amazing is when you left home several hours ago and she’s snuggling up with Mama and Jack instead of you. Continue reading “Snuggling up in bed with us”
When we go to get Ellie up in the morning, she’s usually sitting or standing and has been playing with her toys, so her crib is in disarray.
However, on this particular morning, I went in and to my surprise, Ellie was laying beautifully like Snow White with her covers still on and holding her Eleanor. Quite adorable if I do say so myself! Continue reading “Well rested”
A couple of weeks ago, Ellie woke up early (around 7) and I decided that since Jack was still asleep, I’d let him and Mama get some rest, so we got dressed and took a little trip to Starbucks.
To say that it was a dream morning is putting it mildly. Ellie was so well-behaved. She sat with me and read books through and through while eating bananas and drinking tea. She wowed everyone with her abilities and then proceeded to play with me on the couch without being raucous. What a hoot! Continue reading “Saturday morning at Starbucks”
It’s rare that we have to work hard to wake Ellie up but some days we have to put in a lot of effort when she’s out cold like this. Continue reading “In a deep sleep”
It’s been a couple of weeks since Ellie’s birthday now, but we’ve only just had enough time to download the photos and sort through them.
We had a really enjoyable time at Dell Holmes Park in St Pete: Ellie and all of her friends made the most of the splashpad in the blistering hot weather. Continue reading “Ellie’s 2nd birthday”
