At the zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday, it was so nice outside. Ella had a great time. She wanted to see 'Mufasa' (The Lion King), and 'Rajah' (Aladdin) and the 'crocodile (ca-dah-dile) from Peter Pan'. It was a lot of fun to enjoy one of Todd's few days off as a family. Ella fell asleep almost the second she got into her car seat.

Molly's boo boo!!

Molly had her 4 month appointment yesterday and it went great! She is really growing up. Ella gets very protective when her baby sister has to get her shots. But Molly was such a good girl. She only cried right when she got poked, and as soon as I picked her up, she gave the nurse a huge grin through her tears. We love that little girl!!

Pool Time

Today was such a beautiful day we decided to get the pool out and have some friends over to play. They had a great time. Ella loved running and jumping into the pool. She also loved squirting her little sister in the face with a squirt gun. Apparently, as long as you say "Sorry, Molly" afterwards, it makes it okay. :)

Molly

Molly is such a sweet little baby. She will be four months old on Thursday. We have been so blessed. She is a great napper. We're still working on the waking up 5 times a night, but I can't blame that all on her. I go to her as soon as she starts to fuss. She has me wrapped around her little finger! She is always so happy. She loves to smile and coo at everyone, and the great thing is that everyone thinks she does it just for them! She rarely ever cries, and when she does it usually means she has put up with Ella for as long as she can. We love our little Mollypop!

Sisters

Ella really loves her baby sister. We have to be careful most of the time because sometimes she loves her just a little too much. She loves to kiss and squeeze her, or to pick her up and hold her. When she is done, she just drops Molly or pushes her off her lap. Most of the time Molly is very patient with her big sister. But lately she has been looking at me with a look that says, "Save me!"

Ella gets into Mommy's makeup..

Ella has recently stopped taking naps.. (Poor mom!!) But I usually make her have a quiet time in her bedroom for a while to save my sanity. Recently she discovered Mom's makeup under the bathroom cupboard. She was so proud to show me her "Princess face" after nap.

Princess Party

Ella LOVES princesses right now. We have princess toys, princess movies, princess snacks... they have pretty much taken over our home! She even knows her colors by the color of their dresses. Cinderella blue, Aurora pink, Belle yellow, Snow White... its pretty funny. Her friend Kate also loves princesses, so we had a Princess Party for the girls. They had a great time eating and decorating pink cupcakes, watching princess movies and dancing to music.
