So stinkin cute!

There are days that it amuses me that Ellie is my third child. The things she learns and picks up on right now just amaze me. I guess I have forgotten how quickly babies can learn and change. All of these pictures are from Saturday. Jeff took Carson and Macie to see a movie. I took Ellie outside for a little while. The stories don't go with the pictures, but I want to share then too.

Ellie has learned to shake her head NO. She does not say yes, but if she does not say no she means yes.

The other day, I put her to bed and she was screaming. I went in and picked her up. I tried to give her the cup of milk I had tried to give her earlier, but she shook her head No. I asked if she would drink it from a bottle, she said NO. I asked if she wanted to just go night night, she said NO. I asked if she just wanted to hang out with Mommy, and she gave me a big hug.

Saturday night, she was up late. On Sunday around 8:45AM, she walks up to me and says nighnigh. I could not say to to a request for a nap!

Ellie loves blueberries and strawberries. If you get them out of the refrigerator, she immediately starts screaming until she gets them. She does the same thing if Carson or Macie have a lollipop, but it is much cuter when she does it for fruit.

The next few pictures were taken when I pulled out the infant seat to take some pictures. I want to sell it on Craig's List soon, so while we had the camera outside I figured I would get some pictures. When Ellie saw if she climbed in. Let me know if you know anyone who wants to buy a Graco Sungride 35.

One final picture and story. I told Ellie we needed to change her diaper. She was playing with something while I went to get the diaper and wipes. When I can back, she was lying on her back in the middle of the floor waiting for me!

Spring Break Part 3

I really want to get caught up on all of these posts. I am failing miserably at it right now, but I am going to try to get through April this week!

Once we left the Nick Hotel on Spring Break, we went over to stay with Jeff's family. While we were there, we went over to the Kennedy Space center. Carson loves anything related to space. He loves to read about planets and anything about astronomy. He says he wants to be an astronomer not an astronaut because it is too dangerous to go into space. I think he has a few years before he needs to make a decision about his career!

We added cousin Jake to the picture with the space walking astronaut.

The space center property is a wild life reserve (or something like that). They have a lot of eagles that live there until the weather gets too hot. Then the eagles head north for the summer. Here is one of them on top of a pole.

Since they have really cool rockets and space stuff, I took some pictures to print and hang in Carson's space room. Of course, I have not done that either. I thought I would share one of the ones I liked of the back of a rocket.

We had a great time that week. We enjoyed the space center, but we needed a lot more time to do everything. We will probably take the kids back another time. Maybe we will wait until Ellie can enjoy a little bit of it.
