My Easter dress.

I must admit I am cute.

Taco sitting

This week I starting sitting like a taco. I went from not being able to sit by myself to sitting for like 5 minutes without "eating carpet." I like to eat my toes while sitting and then push back up.
This weekend while grandma and grandpa Jarles were in town I started being able to move forward and backward on the floor when on my belly. I just learned to pull my knees under me and stick my bottom in the air. Look out mom you are in for it. You can see how much I want to move around already, you just wait. Mom you might want to warn the dogs, Caneel and Blitz, their life will never be the same, no more nice quiet naps without little tugs on the ears.

Meeting my friend Sofie!

Mom took me to meet my friend Sofie, who was born on February 3rd. Mom tried to explain to me Sofie's mom was her good friend growing up and they have lots of pictures together and she wanted some of Sofie and I. Mom had to keep moving me away from my friend. She did not want me to give her a love mark on her face like I have on my face if you look close. Wow am I excited to play with her.

Hold my hand, I want to be your friend.

For some reason Sofie did not like me helping her take off her pants. I got them all the way off. This week I took my socks of with my hands too. That is a fun new trick.

Sledding

This picture is from our sledding trip a few weeks ago! We had a lot of fun with everyone. I will be a thrill seeker like my mom!

it is like doing things with your eyes closed

Ok our internet is not working good and I am not real patient with computers anyway. I can not see what pictures I am typing next to. Oh well. This past weekend we went to Utah to go snowboarding. I was planning on staying until the last minute. I could not stand the idea of being left home. So Brent, my dad and I rotated in the lodge babysitting. It was so worth it. We went to Snowbird, Brighton, and The Canyons. I had never been to The Canyons before. Abrielle got to ride up the gondola to the lodge. It was fun. You should have seen here eyes when we went over those rolling things. One picture is of Abrielle and my dad on the gondola. I love that picture. Abrielle has this new thing with her tongue. She has been doing it for a couple of weeks. She has her tongue out like this all the time. Silly girl. And last, Brent loves putting his hat on Abrielle. Brent was on baby duty at the hotel and this is what I walked in on. Hope you all are doing good.

A couple pics mom thinks are cute

Mom has to trick me to spend time on my belly. She got me here.














Trying on my sunglasses before going sleding. Mom forgot her camera . Hopefully mom will get copies of the pictures that were taken of me going down the hill.















I have been driving mom crazy wanting to always be sitting up. I throw little tantrums when I want to sit up and mom can not hold me up. Grandma felt sorry for me and she went and got me my new favoite thing. I love my dog, uncle Carlos got it for me. I laugh when it makes all the different noises.



















I told you this is my new favorite thing. Mom was laughing at me though. When the animals on my mobil go by I try to put them in my mouth. It is such a fun game, and I laugh at my mom when she laughs.














I do not understand why mom calls me rollie-pollie.

lots of fun

Ella having so much fun playing with my dogs!!

A lot has been going on since the last post. Abrielle is growing fast and to prove I am not just crazy thinking she is growing really fast and big at her 4 month appointment she charted on the growth chart in the 90th percentile. That is right, the problem is when she is 16 she will probably be in the 5th percentile. I just laugh. I guess I needed a faster crash couse in getting my arms stronger. This last week we had a lot of fun. Brent's dad came into town, and we had a blast watching Abrielle bust out in this long laugh. A couple of my friends also came into town, Angel and her family and Kim. We had a great time going down the slopes and watching Madison go "super duper fast."

Madison taking charge playing with Abrielle, she is so loving.

I love my view

This is the view out of my house. The one with the dogs in it is looking out off the front porch. The others are out the back yard. The one of the big tree and the one of the oak tree is what I see out my bedroom window. It is awesome!

Aunt Ramai and Uncle Carlos came to visit. Abrielle got to meet Navi. As you can see, she really enjoyed looking at her. She also loves to hear the monkeys on her mobil. You should see the face she makes, it is so funny. She stops kicking, makes this funny face then gets really excited.
