Ella's going through that toddler stage where they love shoes. I picked up these princess dress up shoes for her today since I hate for her to play with our nasty outdoor shoes. :-) Plus, they're just so cute!
She loves them!
I don't put the elastic band around her ankle because she has trouble taking them off if I do.
Ahhh... so pretty!
Much better than Daddy's tennis shoes
Ella had her first swim lesson yesterday evening.
She liked being in the water right away.
We're doing "semi-private" lessons, so there's one other little girl in the pool with us.
She liked catching the toys.
Ella's hair is getting so long. I just had to try a ponytail. :-)
She actually left it in. I took it out after taking these pictures so we wouldn't lose the ponytail holder in the house somewhere. :-)
Ella is enjoying her books this morning!
You can never have too many books to choose from. ;-)
Mouse's First Valentines Day, a favorite!
We went to Roaring Camp Railroads and the Henry Coe Redwoods today. It was the perfect day, not too crowded and the weather was great.
Ella, traveling in style!
I love these pictures I got of Ella in front of these beautiful flowers.
Smelling a flower :-)
Exploring with Daddy
Daddy's so silly :-)
Ella wanted to stick her head all the way through and look around.
Chasing birds
Ella loved this little barn!
Watching a group of dancers (German folk dance)
Walking through the Redwoods
She had a little energy left to run down the Redwood path for awhile.
She was trying to smear some on daddy's chin too. :-)
