This pink hippo has added a great deal of fun to the Mitchell household. I pulled this hippo out, washed him and gave him a new home... a fight between two girls. Ava has dragged this hippo around the floor with her wherever she goes. She rolls from one end of the living room to the other and everywhere she rolls, there goes hippo with her. Ella put her foot on hippo and recieved a nice pinch from Ava reminding Ella to not touch her toy. I see we have a non-sharer in the group! :)
Every night they take a bath, it is their most favorite time. They sit and play with toys and just recently they try to splash all the bath water out of the tub and onto me and the floor. Oh fun! The joys of having babies discovering things!
Ava and Ella playing around. During the day it is nice to be able to just leave them to kinda play by themselves. Don't go thinking I have all this time to do things... no no... I must be right there to monitor it all! :) Trust me, my presence is required at all times, if not demanded! :)
This is Litte Miss Sunshine sitting up. Ava loves to sit up and play, she is very into EVERYTHING. This girl would love to run right now if she could. She is everywhere she knows she shouldn't be and into everything she knows she shouldn't be into. She is me, oh crap.
Ella is sitting up these days to play, this is her one of the first times she sat up for a picture without help from mom! She is a happy little girl and is so easy, during the day, but she is our pill deluxe at night. She wants me next to her all night long, which isn't possible and not going to happen, so she is becoming quite the task at night. As for the day, she is so content to be just sitting and playing!
I took these pictures of the girls and as I was doing it I had to keep stopping to seperate the two of them. Ava kept trying to grab Ella's face and pinch her cheeks. I have to say she must have gotten that from me, I am quite the cheek pincher, today, yesterday and tomorrow!
i saw these bows at Gymboree and I couldn't resist. I think they look like little presents. They are gifts from God, but I think they actually look like little presents here! Or cupcakes as Daniel would say!
In the White shirt is Ella, in the pink shirt is Ava. The girls have been having fun lately with their stuffed animals, if you can see, they are holding a bunny in between them. Each of them has grown quite attached to stuffed animals. Ella, to the bunny and Ava, to a stuffed hippo, pictures and story to come about the hippo.
