Happy Birthday Mommy!

Happy Birthday to Mommy.... Happy Birthday to YOU! 

Elodie learned to sing this song - Grammie has a video stuck on her phone.  Hopefully, we can post it soon!

Getting Ready for Mommy's Birthday

My birthday fell on Columbus Day this year, but Michael and I both had to work, so Elodie got to spend the day with Aunt Ali and Grammie!  They spent alot of time preparing a birthday party for me.  Elodie made me a car, got me some presents, decorated with balloons and stuffed animals and made me a cake!  Elodie decorated it herself with animal crackers and junior mints!  Here's some pictures of Elodie preparing:

Applewood Orchards

On Saturday, we met our friends the Kawasaki-Tang's and the Suter-Chung's at Applewood Orchards - about an hour and half drive out of NYC.  It was a beautiful, warm day and we had fun seeing the sheep, rabbit, eating donuts and cookies, riding a tractor and picking apples!

Happy Half-Birthday!

Elodie is 18 months old today!  We could not have imagined what she'd be like at this age...

Just waking up (at 5:00am!) 

At 18 months old, Elodie:

• has 6.5 teeth (hence the waking up at 5 am...)
• loves her blankie(s)
• is obsessed with band-aids and boo-boos
• likes to sing - the ABC's, twinkle twinkle, wheels on the bus are her favorites
• can count to 10
• likes to run, jump, roll on the floor, do somersaults and yoga
• her favorite food these days are pickles, popsicles and rice (so over hot dogs...)
• pees on the potty (even though she doesn't know she's doing it...)
• loves her books.
• loves monkeys, baboons and bumblebees
• is still obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba and DJ Lance. 

Happy Half-Birthday Little El!

Yo Gabba Cake (we didn't buy, just took a picture!)

Antics on Atlantic - 2011

Sunday was the annual Atlantic Antic on our street!  Remember last year?  So funny to see how much Elodie has changed since then.  Her hair is lighter and she's so much bigger! 

Elodie colored that pin

chewing on her sock monkey...  yes, she's still teething...

Balloon Hat

So, we've been a little out of touch with the blog lately... I guess that's what happens when you spend 4 consecutive weekends at home!  Nothing too exciting happens!  Though, we missed blog posts for Grammie's birthday on September 19 and Aunt Katie's birthday on September 20.  Happy Birthday ladies! 

Anyways... Saturday we walked down to Carroll Park and Elodie was mesmerized by this balloon guy and she loved the hat he made her! 

look at this creepy man that built my flower hat!

i love it!

just mesmerized...
