Instead of just one day, we celebrated Mothers' Weekend! We spent Saturday with Mimi and Boppa where Ellie had lots of fun. Mimi and Boppa gave Ellie a set of gardening tools and there are many pictures of her below helping Boppa in the backyard. While there, we also celebrated Ellie's 1 1/2 birthday with a half of a birthday cake (dairy and egg free of course and not that bad!).
On Sunday, the three of us went out for breakfast where Ellie loved her first taste of vegan waffles (have you noticed yet the focus on finding foods that Ellie can eat?!?!). After a nap for Lori and Ellie and a movie for Jana, we went to the park to enjoy the beautiful soring day. Ellie had lots of fun on the swing as usual and also spent some time kicking and throwing the balls. When we had had enough sun, we picked up Italian ices and headed home. To complete out day of spoiling, we even went out for dinner to our favorite local place. It was a nice relaxing weekend!

This icing sure is good!

To complete the day, we went out for dinner. If you notice, Ellie's plate has ketchup, slices of banana, and a piece of cucumber - what a balanced meal!

Wow, talk about growing up fast. I still remember when she was just a baby.
Happy Mothers(s) day.
What a wonderful weekend! We certainly enjoyed being with our best girl! Will she be a gardener? She certainly found the shortcut to emptying the watering can!!
Now that she's 1 1/2, I can barely remember her being an infant! Although I don't miss the lack of sleep, I miss the snuggly time. Now she only snuggles while watching Sesame Street! This must be why people often have a second when the first is 2 or 3 :-)
Thanks for the gardening set, Mimi and Boppa. I think it will be Ellie's special activity when she comes to visit. I love the pictures of her hanging on to the back of the wagon!
