Water Everywhere

Ellie now has an outside play table. It has two compartments, one for sand and one for water. At the moment, we have filled both sides with water. She has the best time splashing and pouring the water everywhere. You can see in the picture how much water has landed on the floor and her dress. After playing in the water, she needs to be changed into dry cloths.

Attack the Little People

Fisher Price Little People need to beware. They move calmly to the door of the doll house and ring the door bell. Then a giant hand throws the door open and grabs them. Sometimes they are able to escape, other times they get forced into the house, and if they are really bad they get thrown in the lion’s den. Yes, we also the Fisher Price Zoo. The poor Little People.

Tunnels


Ellie loves tunnels. She can spend 10 minutes just going back and forth in the tunnel. She laughs, makes her happy growl sounds, and sticks her face out the holes. You can see that Mum is also enjoying the tunnel.

Getting Taller



Ellie can reach higher than ever before. Yes, that also means she can get in more trouble than ever before. We stopped moving items higher and started to teach her what she can and cannot touch. Wish us luck! In the picture you can see Ellie lining up her Little People in the windowsill.

Cage

Its summer, the house is hot and Ellie is moving everywhere. We can’t trust her to stay off the stairs and we need the living room door open to get some air moving through the house. The gate was our only option. Don’t worry, she doesn’t normally cry at the gate. Its only when the camera is on the other side.

Food Beard


Ellie enjoys feeding herself. She has no problem with grapes, blue berries, bananas, ham, crackers, cereal puffs, and bread. Then when the soft mushy food comes along, things get really messy. Ellie had a long soak in the bath after this meal.
