Fashion Forward

Ella's got a new look, it's inspired by Mrs. Potato Head! :)

Krispy Kreme Visit

We had a hankering for doughnuts....ok well maybe the pregnant one in the house had a hankering, anyway, we made our way to Krispy Kreme for a visit. Ella enjoyed watching the doughnuts being made, but more than that she enjoyed running in circles up and down the step they provide so little kids can see the doughnuts going by.

She got her own hat (which was cherished for days), and a tasty doughnut treat to enjoy of course!

Snow Day

Bundled and Ready For A Walk

Here are a few pictures of the miniature snow day we had a while back. We had maybe 2 inches on the ground and they canceled school all around us - so silly! It was Ella's first time seeing the snow though, so we had to get out an play in it a bit. We took a walk to a nearby park, and she enjoyed running in it, although she tried to pick some up and wasn't happy when it stuck to her gloves. She called it "dirt".


We had hot chocolate to warm up with when we came home, she LOVED that part of our snow day!

No More Bottles

A couple of months ago we made the big girl leap to using only cups instead of bottles too. It was a long time coming but we finally got Ella to stop drinking milk from her bottles. We told her that Anna and Cody's new baby (in the making) needed her bottles. We bought her a bunch of new sippy cups as a trade. If she handed over her bottles then she got a pretty wrapped box just for her....well she grudgingly agreed and put the bottles in a bag herself and then gave them to Anna & Cody.

"I'm not very happy about this!"

She really didn't mind the switch nearly as much as we thought she would. She's been drinking water or juice from a cup for a very long time, she just won't drink milk from them. Well, not much has changed, she still won't drink milk from her cup unless her arm is twisted....calcium
supplements here we come! :)
