A Joyous Journey

Silly Girl! Ella is developing her sence of humour and she is learning that being silly gets a laugh...again and again and again. One of our favorite things she does is when we are holding her she will bend her neck up so she is face to fece with us and will grin as though to ask "what are we doing now!? ". She also scrunches up her nose, bares her lips and breathes through her nose like she is sniffing. It is the funniest face. She will do it to strangers at the store or the playground and no one can help but laugh at her.

One Hundred and Thirteen

Ben and Jake have 10 000 ants that come around for food everyday. The boys are amazed at how quickly they will come for a small peice of banana. How do they know!? They have watched them pick it apart and carry it away every afternoon this week!

Day One Hundred and Twelve

I think it is interesting that Ella has access to mostly "boy toys" but she always plays with them in a distinctly feminine way. There is something nuturing and sweet about her manerisms and so it was no surprise when she took an interest in the baby dolls this last month. After a week or so of discovering them, they are all she wants to play with. I loved dolls when I was a little girl. I had 6 main babies and I played with them for hours. I am so happy that she likes them too!
