Ellie's a big ham. She loves pouting.

Try it, you'll like it...

Or maybe not.

Ellie's new nickname

We were discussing all the nicknames for Elizabeth, and we'd mentioned "Little Bits." She then said, "No, call me 'Too Much.'"

Well, we thought it was really funny.

Rolling over

So Amelia rolled over yesterday...or we assume she did. We didn't actually see it. She was laying behind me, and Tina was in the other room, and then I looked behind me and saw a baby on her tummy.

Tina was pretty upset about missing it, so Amelia obliged and did it again this morning.

Baby in stroller, which you cannot resist

Another doctor in the family

Ellie giving Amelia a checkup: blood pressure, temperature, shot,
bandaid, listening to her heart...adorable. You know it is.

Odd and cute simultaneously

Ellie reading to Amelia

Ellie has a blank photo album she reads from. Mostly she reads as
though it's the first chapter of Genesis: God making
everything...trees, mountains, food, sky, clouds, etc.

Amelia on the still rings

This sort of matches some old pics I took of Ellie surrounded by rings.

Stamping: a photo essay

Ellie's big on crafts. She loves stamping.

Parade

We were watching Kathy and Mike's dog, so we had an extra participant
in our in-home parade. Ellie loves to march us around the house. The
dogs didn't really get it, though.
