Elyssa's World

Today I counted all the way from 1 to 6 all by myself. And then, with a little help from Daddy, I got all the way to 9!!!

I had a really fun weekend. Some painters came and painted my room pink. They painted Mommy and Daddy's room green and they painted another bedroom yellow. Everything was really dirty while they were here, but everything looks really nice now.

Mommy took Allison and me to the park on Saturday. When we went home, I played outside with Daddy on the back porch.

I have been having a lot of fun lately playing in my cardboard house with Mommy and Daddy.

I also got a new basketball hoop and a basketball. It is so much fun that it prompted me so say my first 3 word phrase "I dunk it".

Today I had a pretty rough day. I'm not feeling too well. I think I might have an ear infection. I did have some fun though - Dad let me help give Allison a bath! He let me use a bottle to rinse off her back, arms, toes, and head.

I have been trying lots of new foods lately. Broccoli and beans are become regular items on my menu.

I also tried taco beef the other night. It was so good I had 4 helpings. I was also very disappointed when I asked for it the next night and Daddy said we didn't have any more. Then Daddy offered me some pizza and I was happy again :)

Thanks to everyone who came to my birthday party! I am 2 years old now!

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's and had pizza and french fries and a choclate birthday cake with Winnie The Pooh on it. Since I don't really know how to blow yet, Jamie, Ben, and Alec had to help me blow out the candles.

I liked the rides and I liked watching my cousins playing games. Aside from eating cake, my favorite thing was shaking my cup of tokens.

Also, thank you for the presents. I am really looking forward to playing with all of them.
