That's our girl

Only our daughter would think to put a bag on her head.

Reading very intensely.

Happy Mother's Day!

We went to early church this morning and are waiting for Eliana to get up from her nap and then we'll go to mom's house for supper. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.

Making a flower for mom

Ben and I took Eliana to story time at the Mom and Pop Place on Friday. After story time Eliana made a flower for me for Mother's Day. Yep, she's our little lefty (most of the time).

Little Firewoman

I took Eliana to the Children's Museum along with my friend Holly and her two kids. Ellie loved it. They had so many things to do and we didn't get to it all before lunch. This was a little water play area.

This was a fire truck the kids could play in along with firefighter coats, boots and hats.

My favorite part of this video is her and the dalmation.

Stroller

Eliana loves climbing in and out of her stroller and she thinks it's pretty fun to play with the buckles as well.

Shoes

Eliana thought it would be fun to use my shoes to get to her shoes.

This was the look Ben got when he asked Eliana for a kiss.

She loves spreading her blocks out.....everywhere.

Stacking

Eliana just loves stacking her blocks and whatever else she can find. Ben sometimes uses his finger to poke the blocks a certain way so she can build her tower taller. As she was building this tower she was just tapping it with her finger. It's so funny how she picks up on things.

Sock Hands

Eliana thought it was funny of me to put her socks on her hands. She walked around and played with them on her hands for at least a half an hour.

I'm Back

I spent the weekend in Minneapolis attending a photography seminar for "Bellies and Babies" I had a great time and learned some new things, however I missed Eliana terribly. This is the first time I've been away from both Ben and Eliana at the same time. I have never by myself left Eliana over night.

Eliana was happy to see me and a bit wound up. She thought it was a fun game for me to chase her up the steps. I actually got the end of all the laughing and giggling and chasing. (sorry that it's not the greatest camera work)

Little Butterfly

Ellie and I stopped at mom's house. Mom has a butterfly tent for Eliana to play in and it comes with wings. She had fun playing with her wings on.
