B-Day Party Ouchie
Saturday, we attended Katara's first birthday party, and Ellie received her first big forehead boo-boo. She was so focused on chasing a balloon across the floor that she walked right into the corner of the table. Ouch!
Later, she enjoyed a cupcake...
Elmo Stupor
Ellie likes to stand around and watch Elmo. She looks like she is in a mind-numbing stupor. After several hours, I am Elmo-drunk as well. I stumble around singing the theme song..."Elmo loves his goldfish, his crayon too, that's Elmo's World."

Words, Words, and More Words
This is some of our Power.Point slideshow that we go through most afternoons. We were multi-tasking because El.mo's World was playing on the TV and she was watching that as well.
The Good and the Bad...
After work/daycare today, Ellie and I took a little trip in the wagon to the park. She was fine on the way to the park, and she always enjoys sliding. However, the return trip was...well...not so great.

Timewarp Photo
Little did we know that our camera had the ability to see into the future. Oh well, it was her favorite saying after all. If you click on the picture, you can clearly read Julie's last words.

Saturday
We have known for some time now that Se.same Street Live would be showing at the De.soto Civic Center. We would periodically go to the website and look at the tickets, and we would exclaim loudly about the cost of such tickets. For the three of us to go, it was going to be about $120. Yep...I just heard your jaw hit the floor :) And yep...we would have to buy a seat for Ellie. Well, we never did book it. It seemed a bit much for 2 hours of entertainment. And we weren't real sure how a 19 month old would behave at such a function.But suddenly today about 11:30, I decided that Ellie and I were going to go. Jason was in class so he wouldn't need a ticket :) I booked 2 tickets online to the sweet, sweet tune of $55.00, and Ellie and I got ready to go. The show started at 2:00 pm.
We arrived EARLY! Shocked, huh? We paid to park and proceeded to jump across the parking lot. We found our really, really good seats and got situated with Abby (a present from Marcie), a new Elmo t-shirt, a box of popcorn, and a Coke.

All the characters were there. Of course, Abby's entrance roused the most excitement from her. She was enthralled for over an hour. There was a lot of singing and a lot of dancing on the stage, but Ellie sat really still and really quiet on my lap for most of the show.
The big wad of El.mo balloons came out at intermission. We watched several of those float to the top of the Civic Center.

She was still clinging to the box of popcorn...and she wasn't too crazy about sharing it with me!
After 30 more minutes or so, the show ended with some loud bangs and flying streamers...and we waited our turn to exit. Of course, we jumped back across the parking lot to get to the car. Before we exited the building, I noticed that Cu.rious George will be showing in November...so that may be our next big adventure since today was so successful.

And to round out the day, we ate at our favorite restaurant, bought a ball and chased it down the mall, and took in a game of bowling. Jason won!

Updated Stats
Jason and Ellie finally got around to visiting the pediatrician for her 18-month well-baby visit. They were just a month and a half late...oops!
She weighs 24 lbs. which is in the 50th percentile for her age. And she is measuring 31 in. which is in the 25th percentile for her age.
She had shots in both thighs. Jason said she cried for a minute, but the orange sucker that the nurse gave her helped dry up the tears. :)
