Happy Fall!!

Go jump in some leaves before they are gone until spring.

Happy Halloween (a little late)

Love,

Firefighter Cooper and his trusty dalmatian Ellery

She's a Whole Lotta Love

Sweet Ellery turned 6 months old last week. We celebrated with some cupcakes.

A bit about Ellery....

she has serious love for her brother and laughs her biggest belly laughs when he is around

is a hard hitting pacifier girl (not sure what she was doing with it in the photo below)

has a very sweet little girly voice and also yells joyfully at volumes that are simply shocking

gives the best great big strong hugs

is possibly the loviest baby I have ever been around including trying to lay on big fat sloppy kisses all the time

is 20 pounds strong at six months (This last fact is especially shocking to me when I think that I've been growing her strong on mama's milk with the exception of a small handful of first solids.)

Happy half birthday to my baby girl!!!

COSI

Our new science museum, COSI. Very cool!!!

Fun with gears

Big girl in the stoller

Driving robots

Miss Elle can sit up in this cool seat
The water area
Cooper loves to drive the ambulance

So maybe I shouldn't have done this, but I couldn't resist.

Does it make you think of Han Solo at the end of The Empire Strikes Back?
Don't you love the pacifier in her mouth?

And Cooper, in motion
