Rabbit in the Hole.

We found a new playground that puts the Triangle to shame....gigantic shade trees, 100% more swings, and 2 elle-sized slides, plus -- this giant worm-tube thing:

Happy Monday!

1st Date.

Uh-Oh. A budding romance with Barrett:

Rerun Sunday.

27 hours old:

Twins!

Hey....you look very familiar:

Elmo.

Oink

Naps are so much better when you share them with Piggy:

My thoughts exactly.

Betsy Ross.

I Gots Crabs!

As you can see, elle is very scared of the crabs at the beach:

Blue Belly.

She starts out with a spoon....



...and ends up eating like Doberman:

The Blob.

Back in November - looking fit and trim:

Evolution.

Here is elle, riding in her car seat on the way back from the beach in December:



Here is elle riding in her car seat on the way back from the beach in July:

Celebration.

Today is National Lollipop Day -- Go get one!

Duh.

That's My Daughter.

After 11 months of working on this site, I finally figured out how to post a song - thanks Odeo!

It seems like such a dorky notion - to actually think that there is a song that perfectly captures every feeling I have about elle...I don't know Loudon Wainwright III, but I thank him for delivering me the feel-good, fix-my-bad-day, gonna-make-you-smile song of the year.

Do me a favor...set aside the next couple of minutes and picture the goofball splashing around thinking she can swim, plastic iguana hanging out of her mouth, and always ready to share the most brilliant smile on earth:



Now turn it up, click the arrow, and tell me you aren't in love with her...

Baby Houdini.

I have a feeling that this new game will result in us finally installing that GPS chip in her neck...she now finds the absolute smallest space that she can logically enter - but her little brain doesn't take into account any logical exit strategy.

If Hide-n-Seek becomes a professional sport - we have a new Tiger Woods on our hands:

Tweety.

Advil.

Another late night on the town for squeeky:

Be Quiet!

Hey....pipe down -- I'm trying to watch some TV over here:

Squint.

"Alright, whoever took my sunglasses had better give them back immediately?"

Unicorn Nation.

Lamb-a-like.

Furry:


Less Furry:

Ferris, Ferris.

Far away...



Not so far away...

Rocket Pop.

Everything tastes better in a bikini:

Safari Love.

SandFoot.

Fun, fun, fun!

Chlorine Fix.

It may seem a little strange, but sometimes the best part about going to the beach is going to the pool...mainly because you can bring along your old yellow friend:

My Shovel.

Sand Butt.

Beach Bum.

Life in the sand...

Peek-a-Boo.
