Booster seat

Elle loves to tuck both of her legs between the spaces wrapping around the underneath of the booster seat's tray. We discovered this habit of her when she started solid around 4 months old. She was screaming and throwing her fist in the booster seat. After a few speculation we finally figured out she was sad about not able to move her legs as they were trapped in the tray. The funny thing was after we freed her legs for a while, she would tuck her legs back again. Then, there's more screaming when she realized she couldn't move her legs again.

Simple fun

Her dada has been letting Elle free roaming on the ground in the living room recently. Oh boy! It's a riot. She is pretty destructive in nature, pulling things off the TV cabinet, on top of the coffee table as well as underneath the coffee table. In just a few seconds, the floor is scattered with stuffs she pulls off from everywhere and she's happy as a clam. When her dada blurted out, "This is the best time of her life". I couldn't agree more. The mindless, simplicity of happiness. We're living the age of innocence through her all over again.

Messy baby

Sleeping posture

Elle is really freestyle in the way she sleeps. She hardly stay in the spot we put her down to bed in the first place. We normally check up on her for several times when she's asleep. It becomes a routine that one always comes to the other describing how hilarious Elle's sleeping posture is that the other has to come and take a look at it. We'll go back to her room together, laugh at her silliness, and then readjust her sleeping position. The way she sleeps always puts a big smile on our face. Her blanket always rolls underneath her. A hand or a leg will be found between the slates. Sometimes she's curling up like a frog in a corner facing north, half an hour later, she buries her head in the corner facing south. We keep adjusting her whereas she keeps rolling all over the crib. Her dada always says she sleeps like her mama. Shouldn't mama feel proud?!

Those days of worrying her sleeping on tummy or back are long history already.

Evening walk

Taking a walk in the park to soak up the gorgeous sunshine seemed to be a wonderful idea at first. I was wrong. It was quite cold despite the sunny look and the pave was piling with snow that it was very difficult to push Elle in the stroller. It's a surprise to run into Jessie's family at the parking lot though. We took a short walk together and the two kids fighting over who got to push Elle.

March snow

When we thought spring is finally here, the mother nature decides to throw a curve ball at us and send in a winter storm. Lovely! We have 12 inches of snow accumulation in kalamazoo.

Elle and mama have so much fun shopping around this afternoon. We stopped at the cafe to get a blueberry pretzel since Elle kept pointing her little finger at them. When we started digging in the pretzel, a burst of laughter came from a lady sitting nearby just made mama blush. Mama was caught trying to get a bite off Elle's hand as she kept dodging mama's attack. This naughty baby refused sharing her blueberry pretzel with mama. It's too yummy that she wanted to keep it all for herself.
