Best toy ever

This weekend we bought E'llee her own jog stroller which she loves! She spent the last 2 nights runner her penguins around and around the kitchen island.

When she ran into something she learned to check her babies first and then herself and then started back up again.

Momma Cate is working

That is the mantra right now. As we went to bed last night, which is momma Cate's gig, not mine. After we settled down read books, watch Little Einsteins it was crying Momma Cate! Momma cate!

No Momma Cate around to provide the proper snuggliness necessary for bedtime. But after coaxing E'llee back into bed we spent time soothing ourselves by repeating:

Momma Cate we love you.
Momma Cate we miss you.
Momma Cate we are sad you are not here.

One more night and Cate is back to put the little one to sleep.

My little Swimmer

Last night I got some new goggles and swim suits so I gave my old goggles to E'llee. She put them on and started "swimming" across the floor. Doing a breaststroke kind of stroke.

Then last night in the tub I have been trying to get her to "hide her eyes". And Lo and Behold, last night she did it. And not only did she do it but she held her breath for about 10 seconds as well. I was SO PROUD!!!!! And she did it about 5 times too! My little swimmer!

Now that she is 2

She had a great birthday party and is now in LOVE with her elephant hand puppet and the little chair that she likes to scoot all around the house with her animals in it. We put socks on the chair so it wouldn't scratch up the floor.

We are also working on sleeping in our own bed. So right now the routine is to fall asleep with momma and then one of us moves her into her own bed. Then she usually wakes up around 3 - 4 and wants a bottle and to crawl in bed with us. Hey its progress. I am sleeping much better without her in the bed and she is drinking less during the night. Slowly we are trying to wean her off the bottle at night. First goal is to get her to stop taking a bottle in the middle of the night the second is to not have a bottle right before bed. I'm convinced she will start eating more during the day if she drinks less at night.

We are breaking all the rules I'm sure regarding sleeping in your own bed and weaning from bottles but it is what works for us right now.

Yesterday E'llee was also very intent on being able to do a somersault. She can get into the position but then tucking her head and getting over onto her back can be difficult. today is her gymnastics class so maybe this afternoon we can practice.

E'llee's 2nd birthday

Today was E'llee's birthday! She is 2 years old and one of the biggest blessings of my life. I wonder what the next year will hand to us. I have been working shorter days and have enjoyed spending the afternoons with her. It has been great. Not the frantic pace I was trying to keep while working 4 X 10's.

She had a party this morning with all of our Portland family members. She had lots of fun and got her first 2 wheel bike! A little SKUT. I chased her around the kitchen with it. It was fun. Sh eis still a little short for it But soon I know she'll be Scooting it around.
