So daddy says that mommy is a pushover. I saw a Step2 playhouse in the Kmart ad that was actually reasonably priced. I have been watching craigslist for a while but hadn’t found one that wasn’t already sold. Who spends $499 on a plastic playhouse for their kids? Jeremy says the $139 we spent was too much. But we didn’t get her anything for her birthday and I know she will use it a lot over the next few years. For now it is in our sunroom but once it is nice and we get a patio or yard it will go outside.

Ella eating breakfast with Elmo . . . Ella with her Elmo family (she chose the sweater and we weren’t going anywhere that day, I don’t usually put her in way too small tops) . . . Lily visiting the new digs

I have been lax in my blog updating. Here are a couple cute pictures from earlier this month. The first is one my mom got of Ella at her birthdday party. And second is Ella “helping” to decorate Valentine’s cutout cookies.

Ella had her 2 year well child checkup today. She charmed the pants off of the doctor and med student. They said she was the most outgoing 2 year old they had seen. She was handing out books and showing them where the hands and feet were on a poster.

The statistics are:
weight – 30 lbs, 85th%
height – 34.75″, 75th%
head – 49.5cm, 90-95th%
BMI – 17.5, 75th%

They do BMI for a 2 year old? That seems a bit young to me. But I guess with the number of overweight kids they need to do it for the parents.(?)

Here are a couple of pictures from Ella’s birthday party on Saturday and the adorable guest list. I will have to talk to Grandma Mindy because I know she got some cake pictures and a cute one of Ella with her panda hood on.
