stickers, scarves, silly faces, & more

E loves to look for the moon, whether it's out or not.

I got her some stickers to keep her occupied during Sacrament meeting at church. They were supposed to stay in her Sunday bag but she snuck them out and looooves them (good idea jess)

 She made her way into the closet and pulled out my scarf.

She tried hard to wrap it around her so I helped tie it around her waist. She had fun running, jumping, and dancing around her hula hoop...

 Lastly, this girl is full of faces....

DC Trip

We made a quick to DC so that we could finally do a session in the Temple. It was great. I was able to do my Grandma Elsa's work and Alex did my Grandpa Kenyon's. It made it extra special.  Seth and Marianne watched Elsa and she enjoyed every minute of it. 

(lots and lots of pictures below)

 We took E swimming at the hotel and she wasn't hesitant at all about getting in the water.

 That night we walked around Silver Spring and came across an outdoor mall. They had this area for kids to run around in. E was in heaven!

 She liked watching all the older kids.

We took E to the National Zoo. 

The only downside was that she now hates to be in her stroller for more than about 5 minutes. She wants to walk and look at everything so we go veeeerrry slooooow!

They had a play area for kids which was nice for E to finally have a chance to run free.

Elsa update & St. Patrick's Day

E is back to her normal happy, outgoing, busy self. Just in time for our little trip this weekend. Sadly it's moved on to our friends who were supposed to go with us.

She was so happy to get back outside.

 and she is finally playing eating again.

Alex's work had a St. Patrick's Day costume contest and so Alex went to work looking like this:

He won first place!!

These last two were after he rode his bike home in his costume. He got lots of looks, waves, honks, etc!  

 Elsa wanted in on the festivities and wore his costume around the house

sick sick sick

We're sick and sick of being sick. It's mostly Elsa but because she wants me to be by her side literally 24 hours a day, I feel like I am sick too.

It started off as teething, then an ear infection, and now a 103.6 fever that won't go away. We are regulars at the doctor.

My poor baby.

Today, I pulled the futon out and made her a little bed (mostly so that I could fit on there comfortably with her) and popped in a sesame street dvd hoping she will fall sleep to it. She is in desperate need of sleep. I am hoping this passes quickly. If the fever is still high tomorrow,  we are back to the doctors office for some tests. So for now, it's pj's, Sesame Street, sippy cups, and cuddling.
