Saturday With the Bunnies and More...
After I got home from work (it was my weekend) Grandma Deb and I took Ellie to "Bunny Day" at the Natural Science Center. We had fun and saw lots of new and neat things like dinosaurs, big turtles, and bunnies. After the Natural Science Center we went shopping (mostly window because it was such a nice day) and then had dinner at Bravo! which was very, very good. What a wonderful day!! Ellie would not touch the bunnies, I think that she was afraid of them because, as you can see, she wouldn't even turn her back to them without having a fit. Bless her heart. The main thing I did wrong that day was I forgot to take my allergy meds... big mistake!
Lucky for me Ellie took the "look but don't touch" phrase to heart. She was amazed at all of the animals but she wouldn't touch anything with a 10 foot pole, well almost anything!!
"Grrrroowlll! Come back here Ellie, I am going to eat you if I can pick you up with my tiny arms!"
Peek-a-boo, I can see you!! She had a blast running around up the ramp and down the stairs over and over again. She made me tired!!
Now here is the one thing she did touch, a live little chick. Ellie was fine until she realized that it was alive then she dropped it on my chest and then it ran up on my shoulder and almost down my back. Thank goodness Grandma was there to save that little peeps!!
Here is Ellie getting her bunny nose and wiskers painted on her face. She did really well, no squirming or tears, horray!!
Now isn't that just the cutest bunny you have ever seen in the whole world??? Nowwhen we were shopping everyone thought that she was a kitty cat, but oh well, she is still adorable anyway!!
Grandma and Ellie coloring at Bravo! before a wonderful dinner on the patio!
Mmmm, sharing ice cream with mommy. What better way to top off the day then with Ben and Jerry's?!?
I love ice cream... watch out here comes the sugar buzz, I can feel it!!
"Look Mama, it is my best buddy from school, Larissa! Horray!!"
Fun at the fountain!
Look, I can do what you can do and you can do what I can do. Some may even call it monkey see, monkey do!!
"Bye-bye Larissa, I will see you on Monday!!"
Ellie is so very tired on the drive home after a fantastic day.

Cousin Andrew still trying to give Ellie sugar. That is a good girl Ellie, don't let any boys kiss you, they will only get you into trouble!!
Andrew and Ellie look like they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, I wonder what they did!!
Ellie is pooped after her play date with Andrew. She didn't even make it to the bed, she just passed out on the couch with her leg hanging off!

Big Shoes There are days that I swear that Ellie is getting a little too big for her britches but it looks like she is already trying on some new shoes to grow into. I guess that she figures "forget the pants, bring on the shoes". Carrie Bradshaw watch out, here comes Ellie!

Happy St. Patrick's DayEllie is sportig her green while coloring at her table, even her paper is green!! I think that she did more crayon eating than coloring, or at least that is what it looked like when I changed her diaper the next morning!!
Green crayonw on St. Paddy's Day!!
Horray!!! Ellie was chair-dancing to Grandpa Jer's doo-wap music.
Look everyone is so happy, Grandpa Jer, Grandma Deb, and even Ellie!!
Even when she is getting ready for bed, she still wore her green!!

Ellie's Tube-tastic Adventure

Everything went well today. We got up early and headed to the surgical center at about 5:45, changed into our hospital pjs, and waited our turn. Ellie did great, she didn't even cry when the nurse took her down the hall. She was back in my arms in about fifteen minutes. After a good nap and breakfast she was good as new (maybe even better)!! What a brave big girl!!

Ellie playing peek-a-boowhile we waited for the doctor.
