What Have We Been Up To?

We have been busy. We went on vacation with my family for a week, had a 4th of July party and everyday life. I attempted to attend a consignment sale with the girls...bad idea. That place was full of crazy moms with huge baskets full of clothes. I made to the costumes and let Mary Paul pick out a few for dress up. She chose piglet, a frilly yellow dress and her favorite, a cheerleading outfit. She is into twirling and the cheerleading skirt does not disappoint. Ellie Jane now loves her activity center. She also is downing baby oatmeal and pears. She has quite the appetite!!! Ellie Jane also has abs of steel and loves to hold her legs up and chew on her feet. Life is good. Despite her tears, Ellie Jane did like her oatmeal and did a great job eating .

Ellie Jane loves her activity center. She can turn around and manipulate the toys.


This is Ellie Jane's superman pose. Note the abs of steel...perhaps she's doing pilates.
No, that is not a third hand...just Ellie Jane chewing on her toes.

Mary Paul's new favorite game is hide and seek. The only problem is she yells, "I'm under the bed." or "I'm behind the chair." We're working on the concept. She loves to play this game with Daddy.
Here is Mary Paul in her cheerleading outfit. She had been twirling for quite sometime and was feeling tired.
The yellow dress. Byan's word for it was "garish". Oh, well, she likes it.

I love the pictures, especially the yellow dress! Funny story: I subscribe to your RSS feed and was reading through all the blogs I subscribe to on google reader when I came across yours, except that I didn't pay attention to the title of the blog. I just started reading (and on Reader, you don't see the whole blog, just the most recent post) and I came across a baby named Ellie Jane and was like, wow! I'll have to tell Ryan that there is another baby named Ellie Jane!

OK I have that experience everytime we go to a consignment sale. I know there are people who do really great at them, just not me. It's not my bag, baby.

I love the yellow dress!!!

You have some great pics of EJ! She looks like she was loving eating solids. That is fun. MP in the basket is so cute and I love her ballet dress. Lots of fun!

The girls are beautiful! It always amazes me how babies can be so flexible in getting their feet to their mouths so easily!
