Elle was oddly quiet one night on our way home. When I went to get her out of the car she said, "Mommy, wook!" It's hard to tell in the picture but she had found some stickers and covered her legs in them. Don't mind the stroller next to her, that was a huge deal that her baby's stroller HAD to come with us.
Elle's new thing when she is told "no" to something or caught doing something she's not supposed to is to start whining, grab her legs and say she's "itchy". I guess at some point when she was being told "no" to something she told me she was itchy and I immediately checked her for a bug bite and probably forgot all about telling her "no no" to whatever she was doing. Now it's her go-to move when in trouble...because Eric and I are such hard core disciplinarians. We are wrapped around her finger. ;)
Elle is on a big Monsters University kick every night she requests to watch "Monsters" and her favorite is Sully the "big monster". I've actually stopped planning her Frozen birthday party (I know I'm the only crazy lady who starts planning these things 6 months in advance) because who knows what her new obsession will be by then.
One Saturday night Mary and I took the babies to Playtime Party Center, a neat place with tunnels/arcade game/bounce houses. Their mascot is Henry the Hippo and when he walked out I was sure Elle would be terrified. To my complete surprise she walked right up to him and gave him a five and then chased him for a hug. I was shocked! Elle had fun hanging out in the tunnels with Henry and MiMi...
and Charlie Bear and I had fun watching them.
Here she is cheering on Coach Unc at his football game. It took some serious convincing to get her to go. After the Santa Claus fiasco at the Rascals game she is now convinced Santa goes to all Unc's games.
Elle has started to love building castles with her blocks. She asked me to take a picture of her creation, she was so proud of it! Maybe a future architect?
This little girl is so funny if there is something she doesn't like (TV show, juice, food, anything) she scrunches up her nose, waves her little hand and says "not this". It's the cutest thing ever! She also went through a faze of wanting to wear her sunglasses at night when she would watch a TV show. One night she saw Mary take out her contacts and put on her glasses so Elle thought she should do the same.
We tried out a recipe I found online for homemade Popsicles, Elle was a big fan.
She packed up her purse one day and told me she was going to MiMi's house :)
Cheers! Elle loves this, she asks to "cheers!" when we are eating, playing, anything! These two also love suckers and ask for them anytime they are at MawMaw & PawPaw's house.
Our niece Harper turned one this month so we took Elle shopping for her bday gift one night. Elle wasn't so great about shopping for someone else, she kept insisting it was her birthday party the next day. She did great at the actual party though but to be safe I kept her a good distance away from the presents. :)
One weekend at the mall the kiddos rode the Merry Go Round....
and then I wanted to take Elle to the American Girl store to see what she thought. She loved it and desperately wanted to take one home...
so our shopping trip ended like this. :(
She will ask sometimes to have her picture taken with Vito & Hermann. She really loves them!
We were driving and she asked to hold my hand. Anything for my Roni!
And that's a look at our August. Next comes the most wonderful time of the year, FALL!
