Cousins!

My cousins from North Carolina came to see me last week. We had so much fun!

They gave me a fauxhawk

They made me a pool. It was really really hot out.

They played bubbles with me.

I also showed off to them my new words and tricks. I can say my name (Elwa!), mommy (finally), and I can say a few small phrases like "oh my!", "hi puppies", and "all gone". I'm also getting really good at giving high fives and I can run a bit. I'm still a big hug and kiss monster too.

Trampolines are awesome

I am an artist

Ella loves craft time, crayons and colouring. Here are some of her latest masterpieces...

Happy Canada Day!

I Love Summer....

Ella has been out and about a lot so far this summer at BBQs, parks, downtown etc. She loves exploring  and playing outside but always gets so tuckered out. She's also been showing off her new words (hat, daddy - she says this one a ton!, down, water, dog, ant, etc.). She has a few cute new moves too - she loves to blow kisses and has some slick dance moves. We'll have to try to get these on film.

Hanging out in the backyard....

Partying it up at an engagement party

Swimming with Uncle Bruce

I'm super happy because I just ate dirt

Loving the wading pool even though it's really really cold water

These ducks are interesting
