Wrapping up the Summer

As usual, we've been pretty busy lately.  This is a picture of Elle on the last night that she slept in her (converted) crib.  The next day we put her Big Girl bed together!  She's been doing pretty good getting use to the change.  We get a visit from her at least once a night.  We have to take her back to bed and she usually goes right back to sleep. Yawn.

We celebrated Cate's Birthday at Build a Bear.

Elle decided to build a Pony!

Here they are washing their babies.

Here the Daddies are making their birth certificates.  Aww, how sweet.

Afterwards, they had a tea party with apple juice and cake.

Elle did so good with the REAL China.

Elle was so proud of her present that she picked out for Cate.

We also started back to MDO.

Elle had her last day of Little Gym.  I know she will miss it but I think she is growing out of it. It was a good class for her and I'm so glad we did it!

Hadley and Elle.  Gym Buddies!

Elle with Mr. Stephen, her teacher.

Elle started her first dance class.  She kept saying "I'm a ballerina, Mommy."

Elle also went to Roman's Birthday party.  Here she is all dressed up and posing for the camera.

Roman's party was at Little Gym and was CARS themed.

Here, Elle is smashing the Birthday cake.

Elle also had her first haircut.  It was a hard decision for me but I think she was ready and 

I'm so glad we did it.

We went to Pigtails and Crewcuts for her first cut.  It's such a cute place! She did great!

Elle chose the police car for her seat.

After picture.

It's been a birthday kind of month!  Elle also celebrated her friend Channing's Birthday!  It was Luau themed and so cute!
