It seems like after we found about about baby #2 being a girl, things slowed down a little and I didn't have too much to really blog about. We have been still staying busy but with things that are not too exciting for E- errands, visiting people in the hospital, etc.

I did however happen to take some random pictures of E .....
 

 E loves her doodle pad. One of the best gifts I've gotten her. This was something she drew that she would tell me over and over about and that she made sure didn't get erased. 

 Elsa the bag lady?!?-

Seeing how much stuff she can fit into her shopping cart- and let me assure you she had a bit of everything!

 Finding new ways to play with her kitchen....

I went down to the basement to get the laundry and when I came back up she was in her sink.

Two things I have learned about E....

 She still loves pureed food. If I let her feed herself, she gets more on her shirt then in her mouth. These apple sauce squeeze packs are genius. She can feed herself, they don't make a huge mess, and they are not full of crap. Thank you Costco! (now hoping they get more flavors in stock).

I should of figured this out way before she was two- but better late than never!

I have really struggled to get E to drink out of sippy cups that don't have a soft plastic spout. This next baby will have her choice of literally 10 brands/types of sippy cups! I just figured out that E will drink out of any of them as long as the stopper is out of the top. I guess she doesn't like to work to hard for her milk/water.

Lastly, E loves her sesame street CD but I was in need for something new. I can only listen to C is for Cookie so many times in a row! We liked a few of the songs on this CD and

 

  then our kind friends burned us the whole CD. E loves it and I love having some new music to listen to in the car!

We're having......

a GIRL!!

This video made my day!

Tuesday Randomness

E loves to play with playdough and I love that it occupies her for almost an hour! Lately she likes to stick it in odd places....

She likes to make pictures and piles on the wall...

Be careful where you fall asleep...if she finds you, this is how you will get woken up!

E and Alex checking out the clouds in the sky:

E is ready to be able to wear her winter hats out of the house..

E kept asking to sit on the potty so I thought I would give it a try...

But it was a bit of a potty fail on my part because I turned my back for a minute and this is what happened...

 She peed in a big brown box I had just emptied.

Lastly- a funny video of E....

Happy Birthday Elsa May

Elsa turned 2 Last Thursday and I don't know where the last two years went!

Just born!

1 year old!

 2 years old!

We had a fun family get together/dinner yesterday and Elsa loved every minute.

She used her fork this year for her cake and ice cream...

She got lots of fun gifts:

CMU gear

 It was about 9 when everyone left. She kept putting her new toys "night night" but it took her a loooong time to settle down. Who can blame her!  I found her at 10pm in bed still playing and reading books in the dark!

We sure had a great time celebrating E's birthday- Thanks everyone for making it so special!
