Trampoline

Ellie has been taking trampoline lessens for a few months now.  She has really improved and knows 3 different types of jumps and the seat drop.

Swimming

Ellie can now swim 5 meters (16 feet) across the pool by herself unaided!

Hair and Panda

Ellie wanted to show off her beautiful hair on the blog, thanks Victoria.

She was getting ready to go out and packed up panda and miscellaneous baby things in her backpack.

Cars Tea Party

Ellie and I have a very different way of playing with cars.  When we start, I race and jump the cars all around the room.  Then Ellie takes over and the cars stop for a tea party.

Easter

Ellie really enjoyed Easter.  Instead of leaving a carrot for the Easter Bunny, she left him a cracker which he/she ate half and left many crumbs all over the table.  We had an Easter egg hunt with her best friend and then some water slide and swimming time.  Later that night, we had our friends over for an Easter feast and fireworks. 

Dying Easter Eggs

Ellie reminded Grandma a few times to please bring some Easter egg dye from the states.  She was excited to finally dye the eggs and to put stickers all over them.  A few nights later, she picked the eggs we were to eat and peeled the shell off.

Ladybird

Just after putting Ellie to bed, Ellie comes to me and says “Daddy, there is a Ladybird (ladybug) in my nose. “  I tell her that there isn’t one and she again said there was one.  I then say that I haven’t seen any ladybirds around lately and she says “Daddy there is a Ladybird sticker in my nose”.  She was right there was a Ladybird sticker in her nose and Mummy helped remove it with a big nose blow from Ellie and some careful finger work from Victoria.

Tomatoes and Hair

Ellie loves her tomatoes.  On this day we picked over 40 tomatoes and 22 of those were Ellie’s favorite kind and that was after she ate some in the garden. 

If you are wondering who did that to Ellie’s hair, I did.  She wanted to put all the fancy hair bows in her hair at one time and I couldn’t refuse.

The Cooper and Ellie pictures jumped in my picture timeline.  I will keep going with Ellie’s pictures and somehow catch up with the present.

Curious Ellie

Ellie is very curious of Cooper.  She wants to play, touch, hold and kiss him.  She also loves to open his presents for him.
