The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Ellen got a "radio" from her Auntie Molly and cousins, Madi, Alexa, and Hannah this weekend. Her favorite song is The Itsy Bitsy Spider! I got her to sing for the camera, but you will hear that she did not want me singing. :)

Enjoy!

Grace Maureen Stockman

Ellen got to meet her new baby cousin this weekend! Grace Maureen Stockman was born December 13th at 8:27pm. She weighed 7lbs, 7oz, and was 19.75 inches long. This is Ellen's first cousin on the Antoine side of the family and she loved getting to hold her and read books to her.

Welcome Baby Grace! We love you!

Robot!

Last night Ellen and I were playing in the basement with her blocks. I was doing my thing and she was doing hers. I stopped what I was doing to see what she was up to and she was building a tower. I told her that that was a great tower and she said, "It's a robot". She kept working. She needed a little help from me, but she did this 95% by herself. She was so proud of the robot. He fell over a few times so we had to put him back together so Daddy could see it. Here is a picture of the finished product. (don't mind the messy hair and outfit, it was just before bath time).

Weird Weather!

I'm attributing Ellen's wacky mood today to the weird weather we've been having here in Minnesota.

In other news, we've been busy here at the Antoine house! Ellen keeps us on her toes with her running around and constant talking. She is a girl who knows what she wants and will work really hard to get it! She is constantly making us laugh with things she says and the timing of her comments. Tonight we had a small victory at home. Ellen at her broccoli!! Of course she had to have her "dip it", i.e. blue cheese dressing, but she ate it! We here how she is such a good eater and now we are staring to see that more. Broccoli, hamburger, pork patties......baby steps, but I'll take it!!

This weekend we are heading up to St. Johns for homecoming. We will be meeting the McGeary family there! Otherwise there isn't much on the plate for the next week!

Bye for now!
