Finally some snow!!

We finally got a little bit of snow...Yeah! So Nate and I bundled Ellie up and took her out. We had a great time with her though she couldn't move to well in her snow gear. Not quite as bad at The Christmas Story' Randy but pretty close.
Here she is getting bundled up...

"Help I've fallen and I can't get up"

Playing in her house.

She also likes my Schnauzer wind chimes. She will go out and hit them to make noise

She also has this thing with sticking out her tongue? I am not sure where this came from.


Catching snowflakes on our tongues!

It was a fun day. She did great in the snow.

Playdate with Walker

We have made quite a few good friends in our neighborhood here in St. Louis. Luckily My friend Jen was able to watch Ellie the other day for me. She has a son Walker who is two months older than Ellie. THey have fun together, as 17 and 19 month olds do. Jen was nice enough to get some pics of them together as they 'played'. 

My little chef

I remember making cookies with my mom and grandparents when I was young. I don't think I was this young but oh well. Ellie and I were hanging out today and she was quite restless. So I pulled the dough out of the fridge and put on her apron! She did really well I think. She didn't eat as much as I thought she would. We had a good time!

More fun places...

I keep finding Elyse in the strangest places! At least this time it was closer to the floor!!

 

 

 

Look where I found my baby.....

Okay a little history here. When I was a child I was a BIG climber. I would be found in the bathroom sink and on top of the refrigerator. I am told I was a bit of a handful. I am sure my mom would have a much more colorful way of explaining my adventures. This led my mom too put bells on my shoes. When the bells stopped ringing she would come running. I am considering the same tactic if this continues!

Anyway, I was finishing up the morning dishes and Ellie was in the living room reading, or so I thought! I walked into the dining room and this is what I found. Of course I turned right around and grabbed my camera. How could I not! Next time there won't be photos though just an upset mom and a sad little girl.

After the first picture she saw me and tried to start a cover up with things like...

" Oh mom look at the chandelier! "

" Don't I look cute? "

And of course the "Oh, I am just helping put the napkins back! "

Heaven help me if she turns into a climber like I was! I don't know where my mom got the patience OR how I survived.
